PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat


It's not big news, but does seem to provide evidence that the forms sent out included the standard police caution, so as had been reported before, responding is basically equal to being questioned under caution by the police, and that would therefore appear to include Johnson.

Scotland Yard has questioned attendees at Downing Street lockdown parties under caution, a leaked document has revealed.

It raises the prospect that Boris Johnson has become the first Prime Minister to be questioned under caution by the police.

The document appears to be a copy of the questionnaire issued by the Metropolitan Police to those accused of attending illegal gatherings.

It contains the standard Police and Criminal Evidence Act caution which states: “You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence.”

Wonder if they'll find a way to bring the Sue Gray report publication forward to the next fortnight say, or at least do some massive leaks (good day to bury bad news etc.)? I don't think that even johnson is that brazen :hmm: , but if I were a gambler and could find good odds on it I'd risk a fiver.
 
That ship's well and truly sailed. Boris is safe for at least the next 12 months. If he gets a FPN and Sue Gray leaks what she really wanted to say, I doubt it would make the front page on any paper now. We get the leaders we deserve.
I'd say that's probably the case. Certainly he is if the report or FPN appear amid the current crisis, which is why I was musing on the timing. If there was to be a quiet period at some point in the next 6 months, amid rising inflation, he could still be in trouble. If it gets into 2023, he's certainly safe as the next election will only be a year away.
 
I can hear the narrative already. The cost of living crisis will no longer be the government's fault. "Just suck it up...There's a war on... Where's your blitz spirit?" The situation in the Ukraine will likely see Boris re-elected, I reckon.
Johnson's already presided over the deaths of more people in the UK than were killed by enemy action between 1939 and 1945

Must admit, I've always thought they would be re-elected, it was just a question of whether it would be johnson or sunak, truss etc. My entirely pointless prediction at 2 years out would be a comfortable but reduced majority. Around 50, that kind of territory.
