Should Boris do the decent thing and resign?

Sorry but There had been a directive from himself that there were to be no parties.
How could guidelines/rules be adhered to at a party for goodness sake?? Masks ? Social distancing ?

So when Johnson tells us he didn't know anything about the party, he's either lying (which gets my vote) or he was repeatedly hoodwinked by a group of people who worked for him. And he was suitably convinced by people lying to him that he felt OK coming on national TV to tell us there was no party, that it was all legal, that all the rules were followed.

That's certainly not the kind of person I want running the country.

Lying to parliament isn't the only reason for a PM to resign. Being gullible to anybody who tells him what he want to hear, or else being a mendacious liability who despises the people he is meant to be working, they are pretty good reasons too. And one of those definitely applies.

Dishy is probably the only Cabinet Minister relatively untainted… but he’s so tiny.

And? Can’t he reach the secret files on the top shelf?

He’s the same height as Churchill was.

Railman what you say about Simon Case is like the old saying ‘ are you still beating your wife’?
He hasn’t denied that he was there? Has anyone accused him of being there, or asked?
Whoever leaked all this (and also the video) must know who was there that night, so why are they leaking it but not saying?
It’s bizarre.

Who Dishy??

He may not have attended this particular party, but that is not the only party held in no 10 including the flat.

He is quite content for focus to be entirely on the 18th, as the alternative is even worse.

Who Dishy??

Rishi Sunak , I’m assuming, lemongrove.

Actually lemongrove I think the comments about Johnson's personal life and lack of morals is relevant as it is all a strong indication of his character. As a man, he.disgusts me with his cavalier attitude to what most of us consider decency and morality, as a politician I think he is unfit for the job. He will throw staff under the bus in an effort to appease critics, as we know he has no loyalty.

My opinion is that this story has been leaked now because someone has decided that enough is enough. The final straw could be one of many recent government actions. Take your pick.

Thanks Maggie...... all the ‘tiny’ stuff led me to believe it may be Gove!?

Parsley.... but the person who filmed on his phone was there as well, so in leaking it he has involved himself?
Perhaps though, he then sent it to somebody as a joke and they were the ones who leaked it.Politics eh?

It wasn’t covert filming, it was reportedly filmed as part of preparations for televised briefings by Ms Stratton – which was then abandoned. If footage from the actual party is released, which it could be, that would presumably be covert.

The bit of film that we have seen taken on someone’s phone was taken recently and showed Mogg joking about the police and parties. In very poor taste.

Perhaps so Whitewave but covert filming at anyones party is also distasteful. Rees Mogg had a party the other day, entirely legally.No, I don’t like him either btw.

I think Allegra Stratton is the one who has been thrown under a bus. She seems to have taken the bullet for the whole of No.10 yet she hadn't been there 5 minutes and was scarcely a mover and shaker. I see she has no choice but to resign but there should be others following.

?Allegra Stratton off her face on footage and laughing ..soo disgusting..

She's gone, left April 21.

?April ... confused then why is she crying today and resigning?

She was demoted or pushed sideways when the PM decided ( maybe because Carrie doesn’t like her) that he didn’t need a spokesperson to tell lies for him, she was given the brief of covering Cop26 and has been pretty rubbish at that. I think she looked like she had a few vinos in that practice video.

Depressing to say the least, the would decent is not a word that he knows.

You think? ?

Much better that he gets away with his crass remarks I suppose

Sacrificial lamb.

They shouldn’t get away with it.

Not if the rumours are true lemon. I will leave you with this brain bleaching thought; his nickname is slinky.

Of course he should go - and do the right thing, for once.

Johnson also has the letter to answer relating to rescuing the animals on a special charter flight.

That I think is potentially another very serious issue.

I think he should resign and hopefully he will
