Is it a bit like “Ooh shit, if Steve thinks that…maybe I shouldn’t support Boris either”. I kinda assume he has a bit more sway than most. William Wragg also gave Johnson a bit of a kicking today too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the bright side, that's now three investigations into all this (Police, Sue Gray, Commons committee), meaning there is no end in sight to the story. If they can just keep it going for another 22 months or so, that would be smashing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 We need Johnson to limp on like some clown car version of a state of the art Russian tank. Need at least one more personal life sex and money scandal, and one more awful policy that clearly benefits his besties. Then hopefully, he can kill one of the Queen’s horses with an explosive dildo, about a month before the general election. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not Johnson's fault that those Labour affiliated horses where so sexy and insisted he molest them with Polish made danger dildos. And at least the horses enjoyed it for a while, think what would have happened if Corbyn was there, they'd have prolapsed rectums before they got off let alone before the fuses went off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Rwanda will be the ridiculous policy that looked like a non-starter but they persevered with it for far too long until eventually doing an expensive u-turn.

Genie Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 How many hours of MP’s very valuable time has been devoted to debating just how much of a criminal, liar and cheat the PM is? Boris just doesn’t have a scrap of decency in him hanging around like a bad smell. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted April 22, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted April 22, 2022 I saw a clip of Ian Blackford giving a pretty good speech which repeatedly called Boris a liar in the commons yesterday. It cut off before the aftermath but he talked for about 5 minutes and there didn't seem to be any outrage like their usually is when that word is used Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 You’d think Boris would have advisors telling him he needs to walk before he’s completely unemployable after being PM. We know this PM gig is a stepping stone to earning proper money which he’s risking by being Boris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, says so here: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boris-johnson-liar-speaker-commons-parliament-b2062420.html Quote MPs allowed by Speaker to call Boris Johnson a ‘liar’ in parliament ‘Liar’ is usually banned in parliamentary debates The Speaker of the House of Commons has permitted MPs to call Boris Johnson a "liar" during a parliamentary debate, breaking with recent convention. The unusual step comes as parliament discusses whether the prime minister should face a standards probe for his conduct during the Partygate scandal – and over whether he misled parliament. MPs are banned from using unparliamentary language in the chamber, which normally includes referring to other MPs as liars. Speaker Lindsay Hoyle has sanctioned MPs for referring to the prime minister as a liar a number of times in recent months, ejecting SNP chief Ian Blackford from the Chamber in January and Labour MP Dawn Butler last summer. But on Thursday he appeared to temporarily lift the ban, allowing Scottish national party MP Mr Blackford to repeatedly call Mr Johnson a liar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, it's in the rules that you can't lie and it's in the rules that everyone else has to trust what you've said and not impune the honour of the house. They're 100% right to put the rules aside in this case. The problem we have is that we've never had someone who lies with the frequency and blantency that this clown does. There's also a complete lack of trust in what he's saying even when he isn't lying (boy-who-cried-wold syndrome) and lack of faith in his character. When other politicians had possibly lied to the house it had been pretty rare they'd actually been caught red handed and a lot of the time it was unintentional, and they always had the character to go. An example would be Amber Rudd who resigned for midleading the house on something that didn't even happen on her watch. Still, she accidentally misled the house and had the character to know she had to resign. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
