PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

Roger Gale has been wheeled out on R4 to say "now is not the time" and Evan Davis has moved on with indecent haste. Also claimed that the convention of resigning for misleading the house no longer applies, as Patel didn't resign having misled the house over asylum centres (not) having been set up in Calais.

They are not going anywhere. They do not care what we think.

Let's move on without them then
 
I suspect that if they survive the next 24 hours they will stay, give or take the sub plot of sunak resigning and that putting pressure on johnson. After that, it's back to the possibility of the 50 or so (?) letters being submitted. This might get a few more in, as might losing a few councils, though I suspect a few of the earlier ones will now have been withdrawn.

Must admit, I didn't think the Met would fine any cabinet members. Same time, johnson et al basically won this when the Sue Gray investigation got put on the back burner. Getting a semi-criminal fine months on and in a time of war is better for them than a damming report when public outrage was back at it's highest.

Still, the whole thing is fucking staggering, especially for those of us who lost people that Summer. Similarly, not just lying to parliament, but serial brazen lies. I don't want to get into pompous territory about 'standards in public life' - all that stuff is part of the fluff and self delusion of politics - but fucking hell, brass necked, look you in the eye fucking lying.
 
By the by, I'm only just catching up with this. Have the Met got more party stuff to wade through? Presumably the Sue Gray report should be pretty much ready to go when the Met finish their investigation.

Edit, I mean her final report.

It seems the Met has got more to do yet.
 
As much as loathe Boris, I really dont think this is the right moment for regime change here in the UK. There's something else a little more pressing happening elsewhere which I think he should be focusing on.

I think at least wait until we see how it plays out in the East of Ukraine over the next week or two.

I get the sentiment but I'm not sure what difference it makes if Bojo is involved or not. :hmm:

I slightly struggle with the idea that johnson is leading the West's response to Ukraine *, or indeed gives a shit about it (or that he gives a shit about anything other than himself). If that wasn't the case he'd have started by giving back all the money he's chiselled out of the Russian oligarch's. If I remember rightly, he was wining and dining the wife of the former deputy Russian finance minister the very night war started.

Yeah, I sort of agree and would certainly agree with you if we were ourselves at war. But ultimately this is johnson, so if the slug went there'd be an equally clueless invertebrate ready to step up.

* Realise you might not be saying that.

Ben Wallace is doing the heavy lifting on the UK's response to the war, the ape Johnson just signs it off & takes the glory where he can, it wouldn't change anything if the twat was gone.
 
I got up early and it was my birfday!
Aw fucking diddums you lying slug.
I would start actual work on the premises at 7.10.
Often finish after 6.
But I knew the speed limit on my drive home, even on my birthday.
