To turn up looking like a tramp is showing clear disrespect to all the fallen.

It is funny or clever, it is a disgrace.

I read that Sunak is not acceptable by Tory members, not sure how right that is.

The cabinet really are all tainted by association.

It depends if the current cabinet are dragged down with him. If not, Rishi Sunak. If so Jeremy Hunt I’d guess.

Kuenssberg has tweeted that you can see the authority leaking away from Johnson. He is getting weaker.

About time imo. But who on earth will replace him, and who are we going to be landed with?

Of course it is corruption.

Corruption is much more prevelant in undemocratic countries such as Belarus and the UK , The only two European countries which use the FPTP voting system, allowing an autocratic government to be elected against the wishes of the majority of voters.

These people, knowing they cannot be removed by the voters, and with the support of the right wing media controlled by foreign billionaires, do what they damn well like

This is corruption

“A government Minister just confirmed in Parliament that there are no minutes to the meeting(s) that took place between Lord Bethell, Owen Paterson and Randox as part of Randox being awarded £600 million of contracts without any kind of tender or any process”

About time.

And at last, at last - today the Speaker finally told Johnson to shut up and be quiet, and to respect the House. He said 'you may be the Prime Minister' but in this House, I am in charge.

I'm waiting for the You can't handle the truth! moment!!

I've just started watching MayBee70, thanks. He's not very impressive, is he?

MayBee70 Wed 17-Nov-21 15:56:27

The select committee are ripping Johnson to shreds at the moment. He’s got no baying mob behind him and is being made to answer the questions and stop waffling!

Wasn't there some scandal about Hollande's coiffeur being paid €10,000 a month from the government purse? Given the fact he was partly bald, that seems pretty expensive.

Atqui

“ There must be a Saville Row tailor that would like to sort Mr Johnson out surely??”
and then people will complain about his wasting money on new clothes , even though better than gold wallpaper ( but I guess that was Mrs J.)

One would really expect Johnson to spend his own money on a decent suit...

But, as he is the ultimate freeloader it would be a foolish expectation...

Have The Guardian, The Mirror, Tina Brown or CNBC been sued for stating the truth about Boris Johnson? Germ?

He probably can't find anyone willing to pay the legal fees for a case which he would undoubtedly lose.

varian if you’re not careful you’ll be sued for libel.

Why?

My friend's dad was Michael Foot's optician in North London. Foot broke his glasses and taped them up with plasters because he was too busy to come for an appointment for weeks. Sounds like it didn't really bother him.

Johnson exudes disrespect. His appearance tells the truth about him. He is an out and out fraud.

In case I appear to have something of a bee in my bonnet…..
I’m stuck at home isolating and bored to smithereens.
