They’ve bumped Johnson’s statement back an hour so that Priti Vacant can announce some more immigrant-bashing measures as the warm-up act
Maybe a proposal to fire them all into the sun?
Like a bald man masturbating alone into an open pedal bin, Boris Johnson’s Brexit Britain disgusts itself. And yet, despite being observed on the gents’ toilet’s security camera that is the modern world stage, it continues its abasement unabashed.
That's worth the price of admission on its own. All done with Lee's characteristic style, but also all true.
We’re still about 2.5 years from a GE and they know they can probably claw a poll lead back inside of 10 months with some very public Jingoistic sloganeering, pretend “tax giveaways” and a bit of character assassination of the opposite benches.
That's exactly what I'm expecting come the general election as well. Sorry for having such a low opinion of so many UK voters, but there we are.
But local elections aren't just a comment on the government, they really do matter in their own right. Please encourage people to vote if their councillor is being elected at these up coming elections. Your local representatives really do matter. Support and/or reject them. Don't just ignore them.
That Guardian article would be funny, if it wasn't so sad.
Sounds just like my 11 year old whenever questioned why he did something stupid – “I DIDN’T KNOW!” in as loud a voice as he can muster. Doesn’t wash for him and don’t see why it should for the “Prime Minister” of the country.
Can I suggest Speeder as leader of the opposition?
That's the same stage I'm at, very hard to laugh at any memes or jokes about any of this as it's gone way past the point of being funny.
So the speaker can throw someone out of the chamber for suggesting that the PM mislead the house, but then claims it isn't for him to decide if the PM mislead the house or not. And allows the house a vote when the PM's party has a massive majority.
Why the **** should anyone obey the law, it is clearly only imposed on the little people. Immorality is not only legalised, but encouraged and rewarded for those that have money and power, while poverty is being criminalised.

A lot of folk can’t be bothered to vote in a general election, local elections are just a nightmare to get people voting, let alone having a plan.
Down here it’s tories or Lib Dems, and ghdd Ed Lib Dems have to do a power of work to get seen and heard, Tory candidates just gave their circle of friends and age old tories getting them in without much fuss.

Thanks but no - I never did do debating club and it shows.
Our local elections are being very strongly fought by the local Tories they are very organised and their propaganda game it strong. Countless "Newsletters" coming through lately. All featuring "local" issues or the restructuring of the election boundaries which they somehow seem to find puzzling. Odd as it's their own idea . . . . #gerrymandering
It's a shame that the local LibDems simply can't compete but then I doubt they have even 1/10th of the budget in this marginal.
The damn propaganda pamphlets go straight in the recycling though it'd be more appropriate to use it in the toilet.
Yvette Cooper making mincemeat out of Priti Vacant again, then Theresa May putting the boot in too
I don't think Boris has maybe thought his warm up act through properly

That’s absolutely how it is. Do your little bit to persuade friends and family to vote if you get the chance though. I’ve been out this morning doing a leaflet drop and talking to some people I don’t know. Outside my normal comfort zone, but we have a great councillor I’d like us to keep and just placing my own vote isn’t enough.

It’s the same all over semi-rural England. Which is why we need more people voting, especially younger voters.

It is well earned.
When is he on? I need cheering up, although I don't expect anything to change.
He's due on at 4.30 but factor in that, tardy as ever, he's always at least ten minutes late.
Its not like any of it is going to come as a shock to anyone, just doubling down on the same old 'dog ate my homework' bullshit
Priti Patel doesn’t come across as very bright.
Can you think of any of this lot who do?
She's very dull to listen to, trying to clever drop words in to make her look like she's got a moral backbone. It's more transparent than anything I've ever seen.
Hmm… I have BBC Parliament on in the background and waiting after reading Binners’ post. A mistake. So depressing. Swayne talking about capturing asylum seekers and deporting them as if they were 18th century criminals. I keep hearing Conservatives saying “send them back”, as well, despite this policy not being about sending anyone back to anywhere.
All the most friendly questions repeat the line “the opposition have no plan to break the business model of the people smugglers”… obviously the line being given out. But opposition MPs keep bringing up “safe and legal routes”… which sound like part of a plan to put the smugglers out of work to me.

Point taken, however Patel, Truss, Dorries and Raab have taken the art of coming across as thick as mince to a new level.
So Johnson quickly delivers his “I was ignorant of the law” excuse, and segues straight into Ukraine. Not worth watching.
Ukraine...
The new vaccine programme
the only thing the fly-tipped sofa will talk about, no matter what the question was
The 'fulsome apology' didn't sound like much of an apology at all. Mainly because it wasn't
They don’t like the word “dishonest”… do they.
He really is completely shameless, isn't he?
Priti Patel doesn’t come across as very bright.
When the Prime Minister is a dribbling piss artist whose only 'cleverness' is dropping a bit of cod Latin in every so often, then the 'top team' are unlikely to be intellectual powerhouses.
After the referendum there were only ever three types of person who were going to want to be associated with such an absurdity.
1. Idiots
2. Crooks
3. Idiotic Crooks
Hence the current cabinet.
Ian Blackford good quality and to the point as usual.
And there you have it - 60 seconds of non apology.
Now linking himself to Zelensky; just moved onto energy strategy, safer streets, prosperity in the future.
What a vacuous windbag; pathetic excuse for a human being; grossly incompetent as a politician.
He really is completely shameless, isn’t he?
Yes. He's a shifty chancer with an expensive education and good* contacts.
He has been taught since an early age that he is one of the chosen ones and he is better than everyone else.
Put succinctly he is a fat, spoiled brat.
Even more succinctly, he is a ****.
*'Good' in the sense of self advancement
He seems tomhave forgotten to shave under his jawline also.
Mark Harper showing some spine. He couldn’t have been clearer. Johnson unfit to lead the country. Ukraine means that is even more important, rather than an excuse for him in staying in his post despite his unsuitableness to hold it.
We all knew Boris was a shithouse.
The Toadying Tories are even worse than I thought.
Ian Blackford good quality and to the point as usual.
And thus will be lost on Johnson’s core support - or dismissed as an elitist or somesuch.
This government and this 'Prime Minister' (prize arsehole) represent the will of the people.
It's no wonder folk from the mainland look down their noses at us with a mixture of pity and amusement. They must be laughing their tits off. Not even Orban is stupid enough to actually take his prime scapegoat out of the equation.
He seems tomhave forgotten to shave under his jawline also.
Probably too pissed to shave properly. He has got about eight chins to work through, though.
Vaccines and Putin. On repeat. And the “apologising for my mistake” non-apology.
Well, all those shithouse Tory MPs are going to have to vote to support the Prime Shithouse on Thursday.
It'll be interesting to see how many don't support him? How many actually grow a pair or develop some form of moral conscience. I'm going to go for 3, tops.
Bill Cash was rather spectacular in his strict reading of the law about fixed penalty fees in order to try and get Johnson of any responsibility. I wonder if he felt upset that even Johnson realised that was a moronic line to take.
'Mr Speaker', spineless as ever, acting as Johnsons human shield yet again
I forgot Theresa May was still in parliament, she must be readying up another crack at the smug response from Priti Patel, she doesn't have to stick to the party line, and has the ex PM badge as well, plus, more than likely a deep hatred of Boris after what they did to her.

A handful if that. Remember that most of them are useless bastards as well. There's nowhere for them to go if they need to find an actual job.
That huge majority and the fact that most of his MP's are relying on him being in charge to keep their jobs means that he'll survive.
That apology was the worst thing I have seen. I thought the last one was dire but this one is a new low. How much lower can he push it with the rest of them he'll have to give over the next few weeks and months?

Just trot out Priti Nasty each time to announce some kind of 'Asylum Final Solution' update and he'll be grand. They know their audience.

I don't think theres a floor on how low Johnson will sink. He's only going to get worse.
Whats incredible is how easily every Tory MP will debase themselves rather than criticise him. The whole rotten party is completely morally bankrupt.

The tory benches are a bit on the empty side. Luckily he still has the speaker who is determined to pretend he isnt a liar and so will slap down anyone who dares point out the truth.

I think it is about time it is pointed out how low the standards have slumped under his watch, make him as responsible for failures in policing as those committing the crimes. I think he is just another public school educated establishment politician, willing to take a "gentlemans" word over the evidence, and has taken Sir Humphry an example to follow rather than a satirical caricature.
He has been taught since an early age that he is one of the chosen ones and he is better than everyone else.
TBH he is 🙂
