Jonesy7211 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 It's being reported that he's also broken ministerial code again by using government funds to procure a private jet so he could campaign in Hartlepool. The amount of crap on this guy is ridiculous, how's he still in power?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got a massive majority and we've entered a period where falling on your sword in public life doesn't happen, and there's no one yet ready to oust him (though it'll come - Gove will have another crack once Johnson has been beaten up a bit more and Sunak is feathering his nest already).

Do we think he really has a massive majority in the general public? (I know he does in the commons at the moment). A lot of the voters last time wanted Brexit done. I assume even if it wasn’t a complete shit show they’d go back to the usual choice. The fact there’s no tangible benefit will only turn more people off him. NHS? Nope Afghanistan? Nope Immigration? Nope Economy? Nope Pandemic handling? Nope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted August 24, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 24, 2021 The general public doesn't matter. He has his majority, and he's a few years yet before he even has to consider putting it to the people again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Confirmed in the accounts that BoJo the clowns renovations were funded by a party donor then. Pretty sure he and his cronies categorically denied that had happened didn’t they? Obviously hoping to bury it under the weight of the ongoing Afghan news, and I’m sure the only person who will try to make any noise about it will be Peter Stefanovic (again).

bickster Posted August 27, 2021 Moderator Share Posted August 27, 2021 This one appears to have gone unnoticed too Quote Boris Johnson treats election-spending laws 'with contempt,' Labour says in letter demanding Electoral Commission probe into Hartlepool by-election travel Labour is calling for the Electoral Commission to probe the Conservatives' spending in Hartlepool. The party spent £86,991.77 out of a £100,000 spending limit, and said they spent £0 on transport. Official rules say the PM's flight to the area to campaign should be split between party and government. Biz Insider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite, I think eventually they admitted someone "loaned" Johnson the money but that he'd paid that back. Is there any evidence of this payback in the story?

It must be great to be a politician, you can rob a bank and if you get caught give it back. If you don’t get caught you keep it. No lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
