Ashley Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 The Tories are very good at hitting the reset button. The next leader will fight an election on a "allow us to improve the economy" kind of message even though they will have been in power 12+ years by that point (and there's a chance the leader will even be the former chancellor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 So the next prime minister will either be the "low tax" tax raising millionaire or queen of the pork markets. What a future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a future. Honestly, given the other possibilities? It genuinely could be worse. Could also be a million times better, but still.

Glen-i Posted June 9, 2023 Author Share Posted June 9, 2023 (edited) He just quit! Yes, really. Just broke, will edit in an article shortly. EDIT: Here you go. Naturally, he's claiming he's not at fault. He's clearly lying. Edited June 9, 2023 by Glen-i 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grazza Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Good riddance to the worst prime minister the UK's ever had. Hopefully one day we'll see him rotting in prison. In the meantime, at least we don't have to listen to any more of his nonsense. Alexander "Boris" Johnson - liar, criminal, narcissist. History will view him as the country's biggest-ever traitor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grazza Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 When I see stories about Johnson plotting with others to make a new party, I think "Good, split the vote". It's pretty disgusting, really, the damage they have done to this country and they're squabbling about the "Honours" list. Honour! I am not a vengeful person, but I don't think we can move on until the right people are punished. And we haven't forgotten about the WhatsApp messages either.

Ashley Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 The committee report is out and they would have recommended 90 days suspension. Only glanced at it but multiple uses of the phrase "serious contempt". There's even a whole section dedicated to his resignation and how that, and his statements, broke the confidentiality of the report and thus is another serious contempt.

EEVILMURRAY Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 (edited) Boris Johnson: Privileges Committee Partygate report - DocumentCloud For ze report in full. I'm a bit confused as to why they're complaining about Boris whining about the report after they gave it him. I was under the impression that they were giving him the final version prior to publication, so he knew what was coming. Not only were they surprised he made claims about it (which anyone would see coming from a politician), but then appear to have gone back and revised it, implying the report wasn't completely finished at all.

They seem to have added quite a bit. However it does mention that it was more of a summary of sorts was provided to Boris and his legal peeps, not the final version. Which was from the repeated assurances of Good Morning Britain. I didn't mislead anyone. Honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 I would assume it being labelled as a draft is just perfunctory as it's not the final one, not necessarily that any changes would be made, just it's literally not the final one. Any changes at that stage I would imagine to be largely technical (formatting and all that boring stuff) rather than anything substantive. And by quitting and slagging off the committee he gave away it's findings when the contents are supposed to be confidential until it's public release. Hence why there's a whole section about how him doing that is a further breach. He had a right to read it prior to it's publication, he did not have a right to publicly discuss it to try and get ahead of its publication.
