Rumours are that Boris wore an earpiece during PMQs.

Na, that's not an earpiece, just a cavernous earhole.

Bojo attacked over his pride in the goverment record. "There is no pride in the death figures, is there?" Starmer is just going to own him every week without the zoo behind him trying to shout him down.
 
He's absolutely shit.

Turning round to empty benches, banging tables, refuses to look the guy who's calling him a liar in the eye. An embarrassment.
 
Thinks he is so fucking clever using "tergiversation". Anyone guilty of that it is him. Only reason he ever got on the Brexit bus was because it shined a light on a route to the power that he now likes the trappings of but despises the responsibilities of.
 
He's double dipping today and doing the press conference as he did last week. He has to do a bit of work on a Wednesday so may as well cram a weeks worth in on the same day
 
He is announcing what he thinks is good news and will then avoid some questions for ten minutes before returning to hiding. A sham of a PM, a coward.

This is absolutely staggering. Convenient timing for this to be brushed under the carpet

The housing secretary unlawfully approved a property development of a billionaire tycoon who once donated to the Conservative Party.

Robert Jenrick has accepted that he showed “apparent bias” when he gave the green light for Richard Desmond to build 1,500 homes in the Isle of Dogs, east London. The timing of the decision meant that the mogul avoided a £40 million bill over the scheme.

Mr Jenrick agreed that planning approval should be quashed after the council initiated legal action against him alleging that the timing showed bias. Mr Jenrick rubber-stamped the scheme against the advice of the government’s planning inspector.

The leader of the local Conservative group resigned over the decision and has called for an investigation.

Mr Desmond, 68, sold off the Daily Express and Daily Star two years ago. He has an estimated wealth of £2 billion, according to The Sunday Times Rich List. His company behind the development, Northern & Shell, donated £10,000 to the Conservative Party in 2017 and £1 million to Ukip in 2015.

Mr Jenrick was asked to decide whether to approve the £1 billion plans for Westferry Printworks after Tower Hamlets, the local authority, failed to reach a decision before its legal deadline.

The government’s planning inspector advised Mr Jenrick against approving the scheme because he said it would damage views of Tower Bridge and did not provide “the maximum reasonable amount of affordable housing”. Mr Jenrick argued that the inspector’s concerns were outweighed by the public benefits of the plans, including the overall provision of housing.

His decision in January was published the day before Tower Hamlets approved a new rate for its community infrastructure levy, which councils use to help fund infrastructure to support development in their areas. The new rate would have increased the developer’s financial liability by about £40 million, Tower Hamlets said.

The council initiated legal action against Mr Jenrick in March, alleging that the timing of the decision appeared to show bias. It asked the court to order the government to disclose all correspondence by Mr Jenrick and government officials on the decision, which it argued could show he was influenced by a desire to help the developer save money.

Faced with the prospect of handing over the correspondence, Mr Jenrick accepted that his decision letter was unlawful as it showed “apparent bias”. In pre-action correspondence, he confirmed that the decision letter was issued on January 14 so that it would be before the new infrastructure levy was adopted.

He conceded that the timing “would lead the fair-minded and informed observer to conclude that there was a real possibility” that he was “biased” in favour of the developer, according to a High Court consent order. He agreed that the planning application should be redetermined by a different minister.

Andrew Wood, 51, a Tower Hamlets councillor who resigned as leader of the local Conservative group after Mr Jenrick’s decision, said: “The reasons for the minister’s decision and his correspondence with the developer should be put in the public domain and investigated by the appropriate authorities.”

A spokeswoman for the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government said: “While we reject the suggestion that there was any actual bias in the decision, we have agreed that the application will be redetermined.”

A spokeswoman for Mace Developments, appointed by Northern & Shell to deliver the project, said it was committed to the development “which has huge potential to contribute positively to the local community”.

It appears that he (Jenrick) is refusing to answer an urgent question in the house regarding this and is sending a (more - is that possible?) junior minister instead.

Desmond, allegedly gave a donation to the Conservative Party not long after the planning decision was made.
 
It was within 2 weeks of the planning decision i think.
Jenrick, who also travelled between various homes in lockdown is an odious character. However he's following the example set by his pm, who mutes journalists, and doesn't take follow up questions. Boris has developed more and more strategies to avoid scrutiny, and passes so many questions on to others.
 
Why is Boris announcing government action (another review into racism, meanwhile several previously commissioned reports sit gathering dust in Whitehall with no action taken) in paywall articles again?

Not just a paywall article, another love letter to fucking Churchill. He's been dead 55 years mate, let it go.
