Why are the press not pushing them on the Russian report - or Corbyn? PMQs this week he's got the Nazi adviser and the Russia report, if he can't score a decent goal with those he really is a waste of space
Last week johnson said the russian report would be released when a security review of it's contents was complete.
Before the GE it, apparently, was complete and ready for release but GE rules prevented that.
Excuses, clear reluctance to release si something to hide.
I just signed the petition “Save Our BBC” and wanted to ask if you could add your name too.
Is there one for getting rid of the BBC - or at least making it (non-compulsory)subscription only?

Are you somehow unfamiliar with his previous 'work'? No man, when faced with a yawning open goal and acres of space, is more certain to boing it straight into Row Z.
He's barely even phoning-in his shouty 10 second YouTube clip nowadays. Why he's still here is anybody's guess

I still have my money on Russia leaking it first

TBH what’s going to happen even if it states that the Tory party was bankrolled by the Russians 🙂

Pointing out any corruption of British Democracy is now just sore losing apparently.

I think you'll find its actually subversive anti-British behaviour. What are you? Some kind of enemy of the people?

It's almost as if the penny has just started to drop that the last 3 years of giving a platform to Farage and Johnson has not actually bought the BBC any friends in govt., whilst simultaneously alienating their potential supporters.
They seek him here, they seek him there......so where is the blond buffoon?
so where is the blond buffoon?
it was part of ‘Team Johnson’s’ leadership and election campaigns to keep him out of the spotlight and minimise the chances of him torpedoing himself by saying something stupid.
Seems to be a strategy that succeeds and fails for the same reason. It’s not ok for him to say anything stupid now that he’s in power. There’s more at stake than a job now. So they have to keep hiding him.
He's hiding
He/cummings see no point in putting his face to.anything, big majority, full term, the electorate have the memory of goldfish, so just keep him hidden away until it's election time.
If he pops up to handle questions about floods, austerity, inequality, he just blusters & looks foolish.
During the election he his in a fridge to avoid Morgan, was pwnd by Varadakar, his from Neil
His cowardice is strangely a strength in the world of the brexit culture war.
you'd think he'd want to cement his churchillian image by standing on Shrewsbury town bridge waving his cycling helmet wbove his head on his walking still shouting at the assembled throng "We can take it!"
Amazing times eh?
Brexit, flooding, Covid.... no PM.
They’re terrified. They now own Brexit, lock, stock and barrel
And because they've painted themselves into a ‘no surrender’ corner it’s going to be an absolute ****ing disaster.they know this full well, so they’re getting their hiding under the table practice in early.
The next 9 months are going to be hiding while phoning in excuses before the inevitable economic catastrophe detonates like an H bomb
That’s going to be fun to watch. Well it would be. If I didn’t have to rely on the UK Economy being a bit better than the Greek economy during the Euro crisis it’d actually be pretty funny
Its a Victorian farce, but the Tory heartlands have a sweat on - Fruit and Veg Farmers are quietly saying "what the **** are you doing" Hospitality, Care Homes, Food Producers/packers all run by middle England Tories and they are shitting them selves. They expect the Tory party to look after and protect their interests - they really dont like Priti telling them to pay more wages and automate.they dont like Boris pandering to Northern working poor... middle England is getting shafted.
If Starmer gets his "proposition" right Boris may well have a very big problem come next election... we might see a blue wall turn red.
we might see a blue wall turn red.
That sounds worryingly like a call to arms for a mass march on westminster to drag the ****ers out from their holes and give the crowds a pound of flesh.
Hmm?........yeah ok - given what brexit has done to my health regarding cancelation of a medical genetic trial to halt my secondary progressive ms ...i'm fine wi that, although i can't stand up these days so i'll go for their legs/ankles.
Edit : just spoke to my bro and he's offered us his spare 5 archery bows and as many easton shaft arrows as we can carry, he's keeping his best hoyt bow for himself as he says he could take down a fleeing boris at 150yards+, sometime in september would suit me fine but i'm open to suggestions.
(i'm kidding ffsake....... do you lot not recognise humour?, bows would be pointless with my teenage knowledge of the anarchists cookbook and living on a farm)
Had another middle englander moan the other day that the immigration policy will allow clever young people to come in and take jobs from local not quite as clever young people...
Starting to look like Dominics thoughts are getting rolled out as policy based upon his previous success (dont question "Obe ****ynobby").. and maybe the backbenchers are not quite as sure. Its noticeable that the vocal masses of the Tory party are saying nowt.
Not a call to Arms more a Blairite opportunity may be presenting itself.
I think Boris has made multiple bad calls...
1. HS2 (pissed offmost people)
2. Huawei (pissed off ex cabinet ministers)
3. immigration (see above)
4. Sajid resignation (viewed as a safe pair of hands - so why did he leave)
5. Not visiting flood victims (Tory Heartlands)
6. Being told to suck upthe new world order
7. Potential bad calls to come for the Tory faithful-
Pension contributions tax relief
Removal of entrepreneurs tax allowance
Wage inflation
Cost of investing in automation
8. Reduction in Farm subsidies
Reduction in Farm subsidies
Surely farmers knew that this was going to happen? Everyone who voted for Brexit knew what they were voting for.
Well many Farmers believe they will be looked after regardless of the economic situation....

Poor buggers didn't realise that to the estate owning toffs who run the country, real farmers are just slightly better off peasants...
Any one enjoying the Boris party political broadcast on itv now 🙂
Gotta keep the brainwashing going.
Farmers were specifically told that they would not lose out from Brexit.
At some point, people are going to be very angry at the lies they were told and promises that are being broken. Probably wise to upset all the ones most likely to hold firearms licences early on in the process 🤔
Missed it. Couldn't watch it anyway. Gives me acid reflux.
Blue wall red wall.... Boris is building a problem.... the "Dom" magic works both ways.... the Tory faithful really dont like Dom or his Trotsky approach to things, middle England has no desire to dismantle the Civil Service.
Bojos problem is the enemy within.
Just watch this unfold.

Is it another classic from Spaffs and Cumms?

I doubt it. Judging by the bresiteers I know who are now saying " no deal is what we were told and wanted, there will be some short term pain for long term game" and refuse to listen to anything different - and their favourite sources of news do not report the downsides anyway.
Any ill effects will be blamed on the EU
I'm not so sure TJ - one of the resident Brexiteers in the office was looking rather embarrassed as one of my colleagues pointed out the obvious flaw in one of his Brexit arguments today, the penny is dropping for some of them. Even my Dad appears to have understood the additional problems it will cause his grandchildren - my mum continues to move to the far right of Attila the Hun though
Farmers were specifically told that they would not lose out from Brexit.
There are about 150k farmers in the uk. Sounds like a lot but it roughly translates as 20 - 25 per constituency - although in reality theres probably 100 odd constituency where theres no farmers at all. But I doubt in even the most rural seats famers would swing the vote 🙂
We genuinely are Lost In Space Brexit.
No one genuinely knows how this will end. It's unprecedented.
Obviously it's very unlikely you have a good outcome but it's going to have other side effects we can't even begin to calculate.
I wish I had the wealth to distance myself from it so I could just look on with fascination and regret. I haven't though so I'm just being washed along with the tide like most of us are.
Oh, and the conovirus outbreak now gives the Torys the perfect excuse for a poor economy for a few years. Basically they can't blame everything on Labour (or Brexit) after all these years so conovirus has happened along at the perfect time.👍
Recent CLP meeting I attended in Lincolnshire discussed how to better connect with farmers as they would be amongst the first to feel Brexit pain; I'm not referring to 'gentleman' farmers or major landowners.
There was a clear recognition by those who attend party conference and are true activists that labour have become an urban party but also a view that party leadership doesn't seem to have a coherent plan for rural areas.
It's not just farmers, it's everyone employed in the rural economy; that includes the complete agricultural supply chain and food producers/processors amongst many others.
Clearly, an opportunity for Labour but they need a comprehensive and clear plan which must be clearly targeted.
As for johnson & co, they completely own this to the Nth degree; EU are making their red lines clear; some brexiters will recognise how the gov are stuffing this up; others will insist the UK is being impeded by the EU - no hope for them.
This will be a long and painful lesson for the UK; painful, that is, for those who cannot afford to insulate themselves from the financial and economic consequences so.....most of the population.
150K farmers/650 is 200-250 per constituency, not 20-25.
But your point is still mainly valid, 200-250 votes won't swing many constituencies.
But if they got all their friends to support them it might make a couple of thousand votes difference and if support of farmers is perceived as a support of the rural way of life that could be a vote winner irrespective of how many farmers there actually are.
He's been spotted!!! raising cash for the party at the millionaires black & white ball
Looks like he's aged a decade !

The comments in that tweet are amusing
The problems are beginning to mount up for johnson - in no particular sequence:
- inadequate response to repeated floods
- attitude to COP26 is one of paying lip service
- HS2 costs will continue to increase
- negotiations with EU heading for cliff-edge before they really start; johnson and his acolytes may be unconcerned but should be a real worry for most of population
- apparent willingness to renege on (part of) the political declaration will confirm EU view that he cannot be trusted
- covid-19 preparedness, or otherwise, will be tested
- stock markets now moving into 'correction' territory; that is a fall of >10% within a few days
- heathrow 3rd runway not resolved yet; many tory MPs want it; if johnson's constituency wasn't next to the airport it's probable he would be in favour
- repeated lies and empty promises about NHS hospital building, social care; dissembling about increased recruitment of nurses and police officers
- he cannot achieve 'satisfactory outcomes' with both EU and US; behaviour to date suggests a preference for US; will trump go in dry or use lube (probably made in china)?
This is just for starters.
Happy days......
will trump go in dry or use lube (probably made in china)?
Rhetorical, one assumes?
Who knows? I don't know what their preferences are.
Frank nails it...
Lot of karma building up..
Lot of karma building up..
They'll find some convenient scapegoat and the chumps will believe them. Again.
Also bear in mind that covid-19 will be very easy to sell as 'caused by dirty foreigners'.
Don't underestimate the depths they will go to, the poison they used for the Leave campaign is also highly addictive.
The great unwashed will take the bull**** middle England will quietly plot Boris's downfall..
Just watch they wont stand having to pay more wages, taxes (oh yes), invest, not being able to get a cut price Nanny, having to pay the great unwashed £20 an hour to mow the lawn, see Jemimas graduate job in the city taken by some bloke from Mumbai.
Boris is rolling the dice....
