Breaking news PM and Chancellor getting fines!

[@Lee]

Johnson is under investigation for breaking the Ministerial code over 'Partygate'. 

Today, Johnson has watered down that very code. He's acting like a tin pot dictator who thinks rules don't apply to him. But then, he never has. This is the UK slipping into dangerous territory here.*

Maybe more around Downing Street and the Prime Minister or his cabinet that can grow a spline or that maybe believe in truth & honesty and that they should be working for the good of the country might resign from whatever position that Boris has given them. 

 

The swamp will need drained pretty soon and they will gain respect for taking action now rather than staying with the stench of corruption there is.

Priti Patel's PPS (PP's PPS) resigned his position at the Home Office today due to the Partygate scandal. He would have been our MP not that I voted for him. He was dropped into Eastleigh for 2019. Mims Davies (Con) held that seat before him but she was moved to take another constituency.

I wonder how many letters the 1922 Committee chair Graham Brady has received now?

Here's one in the past half hour

I think many Con MPs will wait a few days before deciding whether to ditch Boris as they will go back to their constituencies and fell the waters there and evaluate if the current situation with both the party-gate and cost of living crisis put their continued tenure as an MP in danger.

 

Whilst the majority of UK voters think Boris should resign over the parties at No 10 it is less clear in amongst hard line Con supporters personally I think 

those Con supporters will be much less enamoured with how Sunak and Boris are dealing with the cost of living crisis.

The £15B is mainly to the poor and disadvantaged with only the £400, over a winter, to those middle to upper middle income, and pensioners with private and state pensions, Con voters who are currently seeing their disposable income evaporate.  The massive hike in shopping bills, fuel costs etc, whilst their energy costs are less than half subsidised compared to others is making them realise that Boris, and Sunak, are not fundamentally Conservative in their actions, some of their actions are down right socialist !

 

When many of them try to re-mortgage their high value SE England homes are the mortgage company points out they have failed the affordability test, cannot get a cheap low fixed interest deal, they will look elsewhere politically, or not vote, as they see that the Eton Mess is not at one with them and they are now on their own and up the creek without a paddle.  The effect on house price and the assets, like cars, which they will be forced to sell to try and keep their homes as the recession bites will be the time the 1922 etc demand BoJo's resignation as his incompetence becomes clear to all.   

 

[Ootohere]

So £800 minimum for those 'pensioners'.  regardless of their wealth.  It can be £1000 if they are old enough.

£400 off their Energy Bill,

then the extra £300 for the pensioners as well as the usual 'Winter fuel payment.  (which is between £100 and £300.)

(not only paid to those in the UK.)

House of cards starting to topple? Another one having no confidence in Johnson.

 

 

[Ootohere]

'House of cards III' will likely not be as unbelievable as the real people that tax payers are employing at the heart of government.

The video with Henry Newman shows some real beauts sitting at the debate.

The kind that get funded from some very dangerous people & must be a security risk & blackmail risk due to their lifestyles.

So Tory MP's get a vote tonight on their Leader & the Prime Minister and if they have confidence in him. 

Well likely the majority will have.  

 

No booze, no boos. 

 Nadine Dorries MP told us there were more cheering than booing the Prime Minister.

It's basically a vote on lawbreaking and standards. If he wins, we'll know that the tories have no standards and are happy to have a liar and a lawbreaker leading the country.

MPs on Twitter parroting the same old BS - 'he got the big calls right' and other such demonstrable crap. If he wins, it's just prolonging the inevitable and the country suffers even more just to prop up a liar, a lawbreaker and a completely inept charlatan.

John Penrose the Anti corruption Tsar and Dido Hardings husband has resigned.

MPs publicly supporting Johnson lower so far than for May in 2019. 

May's tenure lasted 1106 days. Johnson's so far has been 1,048. Brown's was 1,049. Theresa May survived her VONC in January 2019. By July she'd resigned.

Kinda hoping Boris stays in and continues to destroy the Con party from the inside.

 

If/when he does win the confidence vote it will be interesting if an Con MPs cross the house to the Libs or Labour.

 

Looking like both bi-elections will be loses to the Con party, Wakefield to Labour and Tiverton-Honiton to Lib-Dems and whilst that is still a small dent in the Con 80 majority it indicates the tide and be interesting if any Con MPs cannot stand be in the Con party any longer and see that their seat will also fall to either Labour or Lib-Dems at the next election whenever that is.

 

Suprised to see Jezzer Hunt still in the running and still ahead of flip-flop Liz Truss, sometimes a Republican, sometimes left and now right wing as it suits, hope she learn he geography on which sea is what location if she get the top job.

Must get the popcorn in as the ship of fools finally runs aground though it could be many months, or even a couple of years in the acting out of the whole process of course. 

 

[Ootohere]

If Jeremy Hunt was chocolate he would eat himself.   He is totally blind to his own incompetence. 

 

As for the Boris fan boys and girls, the clique, the hangers on and self serving bunch of 'deserving' and born to rule,  well they have made fools of themselves today and up to today.

Boris is unquestionably the best man for the job and it would be a travesty if he were not allowed to remain to complete what he has started.

I take it that's a joke? If not, please tell us how he is "unquestionably the best man for the job".

No, serious.

 

Editted, I should add that my response was to the question asked by Lee within milliseconds - "Are you serious?" he later editted it to add the second question after having already asked it in a later posting.

How is the best person for the job? What does he need to finish? I think he's done more than enough damage to the country as it is.

[J.R.]

Your question does not make sense, can you rephrase it please?

[J.R.]

Ok, I think you made a typo and wanted to write "how is he the best person for the job?"

 

My answer is who could do it better?

[Ootohere]

Paddington Bear. 

 

Talks less crap and is better behaved.

So you don't have an answer. Fine. That says enough for me.

So here's an incomplete record of his achievements; Brexit isn’t done, 180k Britons are dead, no 'protective ring' around care homes, infected sent into care homes, U turns too many to count including on the windfall tax, 40 hospitals aren’t built (in fact they redefined what constitutes a new hospital), life expectancy is falling, poverty is rife, food bank use is exponential, the NHS is on its knees, inequality is worse than ever and teens are being sent to Rwanda.

Johnson is a liar who's been sacked from every job he's had, he's a serial adulterer and racist. He's a pi55 poor columnist and that's all.

That's unless Patel deports him first.

Looking forward to finding out who will be employing Boris Johnson in the future and what he has to offer them in anyway. 

His future will be bright, it will be Yellow and have JCB written on it.

Of course I have an answer, I thought you were deliberately pretending to not understand my posting but as you responded in milliseconds I guess that you did not read the text that I quoted, you only needed to read the first line.

 

The others that awarded laugh emojis clearly understood!
