PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

[Raheem]

Obviously. But I'm just saying he's not a bad looking guy.

He obviously doesn't have a muscular physique. He also obviously doesn't have a silky mane of anything.

You need to see a counselor.

Eye of the beholder and all that

He's running again.

A man dressed as United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson entertained cricket fans on day two of the third and final Test between England and New Zealand by running through the stands while being chased by men dressed as police officers.

The incident took place at Headingley Cricket Ground in Leeds, England. A viral video taken in the stands shows one cricket lover dressed as Mr Johnson, complete with a blonde wig, a blue tie and a white shirt with "Please vote Boris 4 No. 10" written on the back. The short clip shows the man being chased by the rest of his friends, who were all dressed up in police uniforms.

Taking the piss out of the Partygate scandal.

I mean the source of the image - it's the times printing a graph lib-dem style was the unlikely thing I was questioning.

OK - looks like they've mixed some figures up then, the 60% figure is for all voters it says in the box to the left of the image? The bars on the graph correspond more closely to 36% of tory voters wanting him gone I'd say

Delusional twat.

Boris Johnson says he is not worried by reports Tory MPs could be plotting to oust him and insists questions over his leadership have been 'settled'

Settled?

According to Lance Forman, who flits between the Tories and the Brexit Party/Ukip, "Boris Johnson's probably one of the most left wing Tory leaders we've had since Ted Heath".

Well, top eight at least.

He's quite prepared to do stuff that the others would have regarded as too left wing if it suits him, on account of having no principles at all. He's obviously not left wing generally though - he'll also do plenty of stuff they'd have regarded as too right.

If Johnson thought that being the most left-wing Tory leader would benefit him personally, he would be the most left-wing Tory leader. But at the time being a right-wing PM suited him, now he's reaping that reward by being a (inter)national joke and generally despised.

Top bar should be 51%, second bar 36%, I think.

Only problem with that is that if you know even a fraction of what is rotten about the UK, its not hard to believe that people like him exist in our political system, or that they would be rewarded.

The Commons privileges committee is due to elect a new chair today, in advance of the start of their investigation into if Johnson lied to the Commons, and it's widely predicted to elect Harriet Harman, ex-deputy Labour leader, which should make it a little more interesting.

Although the Independent seems to think she's already in position, and rebels are circulating ready to strike quickly if/when he is found to have misled parliament.

“When it happens, it has to be lightning-fast and it has to be at a moment when his position is irrecoverable.”

He said that the moment was likely to come with the publication, expected in early autumn, of the report from the privileges committee, chaired by veteran Labour MP Harriet Harman.

Despite intense pressure on the committee’s majority of Conservative MPs to clear the PM, it was difficult to see how their findings could do anything other than confirm that Mr Johnson misled parliament when he said all social distancing rules were observed at No 10, said the backbencher.

If the PM tried to cling on, in defiance of convention that would suggest automatic resignation, “that is when the ‘22 will act, that’s when the rules will be changed and he will be out”.

This is quite something:

i dont know the official name for these hearings, they seem to be going on all the time - does anything ever come from them other than an embarrassing hour for those being questioned?

 

[teqniq]

They are select committee hearings and no, I've never seen or heard anything come from them though I'm happy to be corrected. Good to see the fucker squirm though.

 

[two sheds]

Did he really say he can't investigate Johnson for anything without getting Johnson's approval on it first?

He did, because he can't.

Yes and I like that guy's rejoinder 'He's not keen'.

thanks yeah of course ive heard of these now you say it

So Select Committees publish a report, which the government may respond to by publishing its own paper

The Government will normally make a response to a select committee report, either publishing it itself (as a Command Paper) or sending a memorandum to the committee, which can be published as a special report (simply saying, in effect, “we have received the following reply ...”), although the committee can publish the response with further comments or take further evidence.

The Government has undertaken to reply within two months of the publication of the report, when possible, but may seek the committee's agreement to allow a longer period. In some cases where a report has recommendations affecting a body outside Government (for example the Bank of England) responses will be received from more than one source. It is sometimes convenient for the committee to publish such responses together. The Government's replies to reports from the Committee of Public Accounts are published as Treasury Minutes (which are Command Papers).

Were it not for the outcome of making Twitter videos Id say these are a total waste of time
