PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

[Ted Striker]

He wanted brexit

This, I think that's fairly unambiguous., I'd even be generous and say it was for less mendacious means than most of the Ress Moggs that want to tear up standards/rules/rights for commercial opportunities.

I read him as slightly - if honestly - psychopathic in being bold around "fuck the means, I've got an end to get to". But was telling when called out on the pretence of associating honesty to the (albeit damaging) rationality, when put on the spot about Turkeys EU progress. I think that busted his flush, and any attempts to be seen as some sort of 'sage of our times', will realistically be associated with that of a liar (and quite facepalmy, a liar in denial), just like there rest of 'em.

I generally think he's nailed the zeitgeist of a hyper-shifted news cycle speed (so nothing matters/sticks), along with assured confident delivery - I don't think he's quite as smart as he thinks he is, and frankly any event that knocks him down a peg or two, is good in my eyes. And you can tell when he's rattled, which is always refreshing to see

Looks like we can skip the questions about Cummings' integrity; the Blustercunt has inadvertently conceded the substantive point about the over 80's in his PMQs response:

Just watched pmq's and he said 'I' before quickly changing to 'we'. Prime chance for Starmer to jump on that but yet again he failed.

Yes, seems to me cummings wanted more power for himself to push forward his 'ideas' and so wanted the EU out of the way, and the civil service out of the way.

I don’t think his primary motivation for anything is cash tbh. And that’s worrying. We call all be bought

 

[MrSki]

Why has Starmer not been like this since he became leader?

Worth watching for Johnson's face at the end.

Wouldn't even want to hire Johnson

His face would look infinitely better if it was above a noose

Or if no neck descended from it

It's still pretty shit tbh, being as it should be more he should resign rather than must try harder

He's upped his game a bit. Took his time, mind you...

yes that is, as always, true.
Maybe this lot will in time be replaced by something better i just felt despair at the moment, its not that they're the evilest its the stupidity, i don't know if this level of incompetence has happened before here maybe i just wasnt paying attention.

I feel much the same. As much as I loathed Thatcher and Thatcherism in the 1980s, I don’t remember feeling the sort of visceral contempt I have for this bunch of corrupt, venal shamblers.

I’ve also been depressed at the public’s seeming lack of interest in the blatant corruption - huge sums of our money squandered, and fat juicy contracts awarded to ministers’ chums - and the murderous incompetence that gave this country one of the highest per capita death rates …

… so why aren’t people more furious? Is it an apathy to do with how little we now expect of our politicians - no standards, probity, no shame.

“What do you expect? They’re politicians”

If Corbyn had done all this mind ....

Actuaries have their say on the latest bombshell from Cummings

Has been posted above but this really does sum it up

Do we know if penguin shit sinks, or floats?

If it floats, he's a witch.

Another superb piece from Michael Govern Ready

 

[MrSki]

More lies at PMQs

More lies at PMQs

It would only be surprising if he accidentally told the truth

Who the fuck is Donna Ferentes?

 

[teqniq]

Lindsay Hoyle has too much of an eye on a peerage to be of any actual use as the Speaker. Fucking worse than useless:



E2a it wasn't Hoyle himself but one of his deputies. Still fucking useless.

 

[MrSki]

Good on Ms Butler.

 

[Storm Fox]

So let me get this straight, some Tories try to interfere in a criminal case and get a 1 day suspension. A labour MP tells the truth. Johnson has demonstrably lied. Gets chucked out of the chamber which is a lot more high profile action than the Tories.

 

[teqniq]

That's about the size of it.

 

[not-bono-ever]

You can’t suggest someone is lying.
“
The Speaker has ruled that a Member who intends to mention another Member’s name in a debate should inform the other Member; this is not necessary if the Member is present in the Chamber.

10. Expressions which are unparliamentary and which normally call for prompt intervention from the Chair include:

(1) the imputation of false or unavowed motives;

(2) the misrepresentation of the language of another and the accusation of misrepresentation;

(3) charges of uttering a deliberate falsehood;

(4) abusive and insulting language of a nature likely to create disorder.”

It’s a gentlemen’s club at heart.you can lie all day long and never be challenged on it

Good on Ms Butler.

A price worth paying.

For all the good that it will do. Accusing a prime minister of lying should be a toxic, explosive allegation. Instead, it's just telling everyone what we already know: Boris Johnson lies like a rug.

 

[oryx]

Brave of Dawn Butler and good that she didn't back down.
