PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

[MrSki]

That pic is from the G7 summit a couple of months ago.

He is rumoured to be in Taunton that is defo not by the seaside. Well it is a long run from your hotel.

Will Johnson become the first word to be used as a cock & a cunt at the same time?

The Media is saying that Bojo is going to raise the National Insurance to pay for all the messes he has caused in terms of the economy and such, thus, breaking his Manifesto promise again and showing once again that he is commited to lying and has the same regard to obeying and recognising Manifesto promises as he has with Marriage vows
Instead of raising the NI maybe they should install a "Lie Box" in Parliament on the Tory side, and enforce ten pounds for a blatant lie and 50 pounds for a whopper.

how much for a whopper with cheese?

I thought the reason that they are hitting NI instead of income tax is precisely because their manifesto promise was not to raise income tax?

Pensioners don’t pay NI and NI is not paid on pensions.

It isn't paid on investment income either - rent, dividends, interest, capital gains.

I've just looked at their 2019 manifesto, and it says "we promise not to raise the rates of income tax, National Insurance or VAT". On the following point they say "We not only want to freeze taxes, but to cut them too".

The latter sounds like an aspiration, which they can easily dodge with the Covid excuse; the former not so much.

I can barely listen to his constant bullshit in the commons right now.

Yeah. It's fucking insulting tbh

Is Disgraced Prime Minister de Pfeffel Johnson lying to the house again?

#ToryScum

Imagine being so greedy or selfish or stupid to vote for this party. It beggars belief that a some of the British public think this way.

 

[stavros]

As I've said before, all the opposition benches, Labour, LDs, SNP, Plaid, etc should call him a liar in unison. Test to see whether Hoyle will find them all in contempt of the House.

Labour MP Peter Kyle asks Boris Johnson where Britain has more influence in the world since he became prime minister.

The PM responds: "Virtually everywhere."

A waste of a question and a predictable response. Ask something of substance, don’t perform an ambiguous piece of rhetoric that will obviously fail.

Have you noticed that furrowed brow thing he does when he’s trying to look earnest? It makes him look constipated and trying to crimp out a length of cable.

"Is Boris lying?"
"If he's moving his lips, or even if not. Yes"

only good thing about this is maybe i can get my da to stop liking boris johnson


does not read papers or the internet but because of getting a free bus travel at sixty and being a brexiter
thought highly enough of him as any other british politician over his life here

now he just turned 65 in july and still working don't seeing him retiring till his is completely unable

going to be happy when he is still paying NI next year

I see that dividend tax is also going up by 1.25%, which means that this is largely a clumsy way of increasing income tax across the board — NI for workers, dividend tax for those living off dividend income. Except that it doesn’t hit landlords and it doesn’t hit pensioners of DB schemes or those with annuities. Or those with dividends from ISAs, of course. A bit of a mess.

Cameron used to do the same thing.

I think it may be a 'Tory thing', a bit like the 'power stance'from a few years back.

It's the Eton thinking face. Watch closely and you'll see eg princes William and Harry do the same

My Cash ISA has a not inconsiderable 5 figure sum in it, my last months interest was £5.81 , I don't think 1.25% of that is going to help much. Taxing rental income is not a good idea since ANY tax is just going to get passed to the tenant in the form of rent.
NI wants scrapping and just merging into general taxation since any increases to it invariably favour the rich due to the threshold being lower and there being a cutoff at which the rate plummets.

Why do you have your ISA invested in cash?? You need to get yourself into the “improve my savings interest” thread.

The announcements on funding the NHS/social care have also played a big part in this IMHO.

As much as I'd like this to be true, it's a load of "the bubble knows best, leave politics to the political class" bullshit. Completely ignores that Trump and Johnson (and several others, Bolsonaro, Duterte etc) completely ripped up that rulebook and got elected anyway.

No one thinks Johnson is trustworthy or competent. The voting masses don't think that now, neither did they think that when they voted in him and his fucking party with a massive majority.

Rental income already gets taxed.
