PMQ’s should be interesting
I’m saying its going be a nailed on dead cert that Ian Blackford is evicted from the chamber for calling Johnson a liar again.
It’d be good if Starmer did the same, followed by many other MP’s, highlighting the ridiculous situation where Johnson is allowed to lie and lie and lie at the despatch box, While Lindsay Hoyle acts as his human shield, but nobody is allowed to call him a liar
This - let's see Hoyle send out every right thinking MP for stating the bleeding obvious to demonstrate how utterly shit the government are.
"I'm Spartacus Ian Blackford!"
Full House.
Brexit, Covid, Ukraine in one answer. He's learned his lines.
Before we start having a pop at the unions who are prepared to fight back and benefit all of us, it's not a wage-price spiral, it's a profits-price spiral.
Ian has started !!
Tuning into PMQ's - you can't make this up.
You can - he does!! Makes it up as he goes along.
I see we've got the usual level of contrition from our glorious leader.
Its obvious that every day he's managed to remain in office, when he should have been long gone, he's grown more arrogant and entitled
I still don't honestly don't think he gives a toss about people who obeyed the rules, lost loved ones and suffered hardship under covid restrictions. As he's never obeyed rules in his life, Its obvious he regards those who does as mugs
He's the dictionary definition of a sociopath. He's utterly devoid of compassion or empathy and absolutely everything is about him. His only ever concern is for himself,
He's just going to brazen this out, same as he's brazened everything else out, and those behind him will just let him do it. Again.
I can't watch this shite. Did he just throw his team under the bus?
So... "everything" happened after his attendance. He knew nothing. He wasn't even aware that his staff has employed a Boris Johnson impersonator for the drinking session photos.
What a farking liar. Not my responsibility, I was only there a short time.
He is "humbled"... he really sounds it, doesn't he.
This is excruciating
Did anyone honestly expect this to play out any differently?
He will never resign and never ever show a single shred of genuine remorse or contrition
It’s time to move on 🙂
Takes full responsibility and will therefore be blaming his whole team
Accusing the LotO of "Sniping from the sidelines"... ie. opposing the government when it makes mistakes, or ignores advice, or wrecks lives, or breaks its own laws. Same lines as he always uses. The LotO is not a position from which to only nod though everything the government says or does. "Sniping" where it falls short, or makes poor decisions, or frames laws poorly, or funnels contracts and money to its donors and friends and families, or lies, or breaks the law and seeks for months to cover up those lies and law breaking... is exactly what the opposition should do if we're to have a democracy. This is not Russia. This is not China.
Listening to Kier Starmers response - he is such a wet lettuce. He could have torn the PM a new ****hole but instead he stands at the dispatches box like he's reading a story to his children. Neither of them have my vote.
Even by Johnsons previous standards the sheer front on display here is quite something
I think it's pointless watching any of this. It's just a recipe for anger.
Ian Blackford is way better at this than Starmer...
I think it’s pointless watching any of this. It’s just a recipe for anger.
Yup, largely amongst people that won't vote for them anyway.
Excellent speeches by starmer and blackford. It's a shame they will effectively count for nothing.
So the answers have changed from...
"I can't answer that, we must wait for the Police Enquiry and Sue Gray's report"
...to...
"I have no need to answer that, we have had a Policy Enquiry and Sue Gray's report"
Greased piglet indeed.
Ian Blackford is way better at this than Starmer…
I tend to get the feeling they leech off each other with the questions, as the opposition leader he has a fine line to respond, as of now, the lower level MPs can ask more direct questions, but every question is getting the same response.
They are a good pairing. And they may have to work closely together in a more constructive capacity one day... when/if the Conservatives are on the opposition benches.
What concerns me most is why is there only 1 picture of Sue Gray?
What concerns me is that prior to this report coming out, the last week has seen more serious claims suddenly appear, so no longer talking about 'was it a party', but security staff and cleaning staff being ridiculed and ignored when trying to stop, or complain about what was going on.
Boris talks about those who did this 'apologising', he's basically just stated that an apology is good enough to cover what was clearly bullying and harassment, in a parliamentary speech.
I was walking through town whilst listened to Boris' reply to Starmer. I may have shouted out loud that Boris is a see you next tuesday.
Time to double dose on my blood pressure meds
I may have shouted out loud that Boris is a see you next tuesday.
I may have also let slip a few choice words. Had to retreat to the garage to change some brake pads and tune my gears.
It’s time to move on 🙂
It certainly is. It's a non-story. Who even cares.
Mrs Binners has just got really upset while watching that absolutely shameless charade
At the same time these parties were going on, her dad was seriously ill in hospital, but she couldn't go and visit him even though there was a very good chance he might not make it out. It was incredibly distressing for the whole family
I say she's upset. She is absolutely *ing livid!! As am I, an no doubt everybody else who went through similar experiences
I think she summed up the feelings of most when she sumamrised thus:
"He really doesn't give a shit, does he?"
No... he really doesn't
If the Tory party continue to back him after all this, then they really are utterly morally bankrupt. I don't doubt they all will continue to back him, because that's just what they do
Utter *ing *s, the *ing lot of them
I'd happily see lampposts adorned with the ****ing lot of them, the way I'm feeling after watching that
If the Tory party continue to back him after all this, then they really are utterly morally bankrupt
I think needs to be Starmers line from now yo any election.
Alastair Campbell has put it succinctly in a clip I saw earlier.

I can't see why anyone is surprised at this. Boris neither does details nor takes responsibility for anything. Literally the diametric opposite of what is required in a PM. He'll go nowhere until pushed.
PM to hold news conference at 15:30 BST
We thought it was likely to come, but we have now had it confirmed - Boris Johnson will hold a news conference in Downing Street at 15:30 BST, following the publication of Sue Gray’s report.
The announcement I want is far too much to hope for, isn't it?
What a ****.
The announcement I want is far too much to hope for, isn’t it?
Telling us, once again, that it's time to move on?
He is indeed an utter ****!
I've asked my Tory MP for his view now they no longer hide behind the 'wait for Met, wait for Grey' excuse.
I've told him that whilst it was unlikely he can expect my vote, it's a nailed on certainty so long as the Tories allow people with such flawed characteristics to hold high office.
Ok, so the UK collectively made the largest easily avoidable mistake in modern history, and Johnson is essentially the figurehead of the shitshow.
Where are we - country as a whole that is - on the seven stages?
1. Shock
2. Denial
3. Anger
4. Bargaining
5. advanced stage, not here
6. definitely not here
7. not on your life
I don't know that we're even in #1, properly. "Cost of Living Crisis" hasn't hit. Troubles in NI haven't (yet and hopefully not at all) erupted although that doesn't look great. Scotland still part of union. All those large companies leaving the country didn't seem to register as far as I can tell.
Boris Johnson will hold a news conference in Downing Street at 15:30 BST,

He said yesterday that he would have a presser post-Sue Grey, before he even saw the report, so I wouldn't get your hopes up too much.
Hopefully the press will goad him enough that the mask will slip, though.
"The Nasty Party" behaving exactly as you would expect them to act, and exactly how they have always acted. Unless you've been living in a cave for the last 10 years or so, you can't possibly be surprised by anything that has happened recently.
Their "reason for existing" is for the betterment of themselves and their own. That's it, full-stop.
When’s the revolution?
it happened. We got Boris.
This cannot be overemphasised.
This is all a direct result of that ****ing referendum. The arseholes and liars pushed it, the cretins voted for it...
And as a result?
We have a government of arseholes and liars with the biggest arsehole and liar as PM.
Well done Leavers.
👏
Blackford is a grandstanding twerp. I have no time for him.

And you'd have to be a total mug to believe that all the nationalist posturing meant that "they've changed and now there's something there for me" - if you were so inclined.
It's a masterful piece of deceit and now they play fully on the Stockholm Syndrome of those who voted for it - "Well, you were stupid enough to vote for something fundamentally stupid, and no one likes to look stupid, so you'd better keep banging that drum".
It would be hilarious if it wasn't so...
Oh what's the ****ing point?
The Greased Piglet will stay.
