Ruth Davidson, once leader of the Tories in Scotland seems to be making a play for power tonight too.
Anyone would be better than Boris and his crew.

This time last year was My DH's funeral which his mother and brother couldn't attend because they had been to hospital to break the news of his son's death to my FiL.
The following day FiL was diagnosed with Covid and died on the 13th December. His wife and other son couldn't see him, nor attend DH's funeral because they had to isolate.

I am sure there were personal tragedies like this up and down the country.
I am in tears as I write this with sorrow and anger. sad angry

FiL died from Covid on the 13th December.

Allsorts I fear you have completely missed the point. This isn’t about Labour, the Tories will remain in power until the next election and beyond if the electorate vote for them.
This is about whether Boris and his cabinet are fit to run the country or not. Ultimately if the other Tory MPs decide they have had enough he will be forced to resign and we will have a new Tory PM.

Allsorts I agree with you on Labour. I shudder to think what would happen if they got into power. However, Boris should go. He is a traitor to this country.

I do not think he should go, Labour is weak, Keir not a leader, nice chap next door, not a leader. Labour is not interested in the working man,just any movement ending in itst, policitcal correctness gone mad, they have no policies, just berate anything and everything. Sit on the fence until they find something to jump on.
If you are content doing parties go ahead and do it, I can make up my mind, have tge caribe and don5 need anyone telling me anything and everything. It’s your life, mix and party as much as you want, I am making my own mind up.

Boris should most certainly resign but he won't. He knows he has been cornered now and hence he is lashing out in an uncontrolled manner. I am hoping the person or persons who are working to get him ousted step up their pace before we have nothing left worth fighting or working for in this country.

The thought of the vile Rayner woman makes me very concerned.

confused

Concerned about what - has she broken the rules too?

We’re discussing.. on Radio 4

Were discussing! Auto incorrect!

I voted for Boris and I’m not ashamed to admit it. However, I feel he is not up to the job. He lurches from disaster to disaster and I really don’t think this is sustainable going forward. He has too many distractions going on and he doesn’t seem to see the seriousness of this situation and others. Sure, he has had COVID, the pandemic has crippled his programme BUT it’s not a good look all of this. The thought of the vile Rayner woman makes me very concerned.

The media show at 4.30 this evening we’re discussing this whole fiasco. Apparently there were rumours flying about at least 9 months ago that the party had occurred but were unsubstantiated. The information that has finally been published has come from a few sources, corroborating each other. An interesting listen to hear some background.

Keir Starmer is a principled man, not a liar like Boris. The only reason Tory MP’s don’t vote against him because they are worried the Labour Party will pull itself together and put them out of office. They don’t want to find themselves without a job. Simple as that.

I think he should resign and hopefully he will

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.

Hetty58 Wed 08-Dec-21 18:01:11

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

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

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

Sacrificial lamb.

They shouldn’t get away with it.

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.

You think? ?

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

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

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.
