Boris at it again and the contest to replace the lying c***

[Paddingtonwolf]

Starmer avoids the Gray report in PMQs. A mistake as he'll have no right of reply to the bullshit that Johnson will come up with later in his statement.

He gets a much longer statement entitlement than anything in PMQs

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Johnson is a fucking cunt. The end.

 

[Stan Hullis]

He's going to find a way through it again isn't he

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

He's going to find a way through it again isn't he

Ultimately he only has to convince Tory MPs at the moment, a good portion of whom know they'll get turfed out if there's a GE any time soon, even if it were just a change of leadership then there are several in the Cabinet who know they're never getting in that position ever again under anyone else.

And he won't quit because he'll freeload for as long as he can, due to being an appalling cheapskate, permanently desperate for money and having no skills to do anything else as I can't see a huge market for his "hilarious" newspaper columns or speeches once he's left office.

Long term this is obviously a stupid approach for everyone concerned but he literally lives day by day. There isn't a can in the world that he hasn't kicked by this stage.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

The most pathetic apology I have ever heard.

 

[Sniffer]

He doesn't give a shit - This is where Starmer failed at PMQs. He doesn't get a right of reply and now Johnson can spout any old bollocks and he gets away with it.

 

[Sniffer]

Work events - with tables full of booze an he himself toasting an outgoing official. He's fucking deluded.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

For several of them, work events weren't even allowed at the time. I don't know how this keeps getting glossed over. You couldn't hold meetings in person, the end.

 

[AndyWolves]

So he says he takes full responsibility and then weasels out of it by saying he had no control over stuff that happened after he left!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

He is a fucking coward. Not new news though.

 

[Sniffer]

He's just refused to answer a question from the Conservative MP Aaron Bell, that he asked Sue Gray not to publish his report.

 

[BillyDee]

The Good Law Project and Brian Paddick (Lib Dem peer) instigate judicial review into the Met over failure to properly investigate the PMs involvement in partygate.
It was them legal action from them that forced the investigation in the first place.

 

[Sniffer]

For what its worth I think that the Sue Gray report would have sunk him if the Met did not get involved. The fact that they did and refused to hand out any FPNs to any case that may have been challenged has meant that his party can say he was cleared by the Police of wrongdoing in everything but the surprise birthday gathering for him. That event alone taken in isolation would never have been looked into if it wasn't for the dozen or so other events that were reported.
He's obviously lied to the house but will get away with it because he lies by saying that he thought that they were all legitimate work events.

 

[Sniffer]

I know that there will be a degree of rounding going on but you would think that they would check before release that they add up to 100.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

It always amazes me that there is always a decent % of people who "don't know" when asked a question such as this.

 

[AndyWolves]

Leaving voting conservatives want him to stay, how surprising

 

[Sniffer]

Nobody else lied either. No-one thought that they were parties.

 

[Sniffer]

The old very big place line being trotted out again. Strange that he had to conduct an interview (or the story for that may have changed) had to take place in his flat, with Abba blaring out of the stereo with 4 or 5 other special advisers in attendance.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

And his unemployed wife, who keeps turning up at these critical work events.

 

[Sniffer]

Client journalists up first and tried to slope off before Pippa Crerar could ask a question. Only the last 3 have been decent questions.
