Boris will not go, I am sure he will wriggle out of this as he usually does.I admire David Davis for standing up in Parliament and being so straight forward.I think Boris will gain a few points having restrictions eased at just this moment in time.

It’s well known that Mr. Davies has turned on all his previous PM bosses which is why he or his quote is not being taken seriously.

- I agree. We live in the neighbouring constituency to Bury South and also voted in a new Tory MP at the last election. I hope ours doesn’t defect to Labour. ?

I live in Bury South. I'm spitting feathers about what he has done. I voted Tory, not Labour.

Gosh and you’re admitting it? ?

Yes. Voted Tory all my life. There you go, shoot me now.

Mummer I do find your post hilarious…

All the hyacinths crawling out of the woodwork I see! Wannabe upper crusts! Ha ha! I turned my back on all their rubbish when I found out about the mahoosive tax dodge worked by my dyed in the wool BLUE parents that enabled my private education and privileged youf! Made me sick to my stomach

Surely the government of the day should be doing their best for ALL the country not just the constituencies that voted for them?

Just a quickie did anyone else hear how conservative front bencher called Angela Rayner "she" instead of "the honourable member" as is the proper address? Says it all ,

Your constituency is likely to lose whatever extra funding, if any it received from Sunak last March. 39 out of the 45 constituencies selected were Tory. Yet more bribery.

Bury south? Do you enjoy benefits being frozen low level civil service clerks' pay being frozen yet again, tax cuts for the wealthy NHS being privatised by being starved of funding? You do suprise me, Manchester being the seat of workers and women's rights fought for in blood sweat and tears and vehemently opposed by conservatives both historically and contemporaneously!

No comments on the Tory MP crossing over to Labour? Seeing some earlier clips he didn't sound as though he would leave the Tories any time soon so he must have been very rattled by the comments of his constituents.

Yes, and let’s not forget if he stayed with the Tory Party he may well have lost his seat in May elections. Self preservation maybe?

No. It takes a lot of courage to do what he has done. It isn’t something that anyone does without thinking long and hard about it. A friend of mine, a Tory councillor, left the Conservative Party and joined the LibDems because he could no longer stomach their policies and he suffered a great deal of abuse, which he knew would happen.

Courage? I am absolutely livid about what Christian Wakeford’s done. I was one of the people in Bury South who voted for him, therefore I voted for the Tories, not Labour.

Not many are happy about what he’s done in Bury South I can tell you!

So it’s all on you then, and your fellow voters!

Exactly Urms
That was my immediate thought as well.
I believe it was said that the seat had been Labour for yonks until the last GE.

The man clearly has no regard whatsoever for the people of Bury who voted Conservative.

Interestingly his defection might have backfired as it’s said that his actions have resulted in Tory MPs rallying round the PM.

Shelmiss and TiggyW I can quite understand.
Spineless git.

Given Sue Gray has a history in 'managing' information to avoid public scrutiny. ( Examples: the inquiry into infected blood and requests under the freedom of information legislation (FOI) on the Grenfell Tower fire). In particular she has been criticised for suppressing emails. In 2015, Chris Cook, then the policy editor for BBC Newsnight, wrote: “I know of half-a-dozen occasions where Ms Gray has intervened to tell departments to fight disclosures under the Freedom of Information Act.” She does not believe in open and full disclosure to the public. No wonder Johnson is looking happy - he knows he lives lie another day!

spabbygirl well said. I agree totally.

Yes I watched it and I thought labour act as school kids with all their little remarks not very professional in my opinion and as for bury Mp he’s disgusting ppl vote for him because he was conservatives not labour. I also think Boris as worked his socks off and too many ppl are quick to judge must be nice being perfect that’s all I can say

Nobody needs to be perfect to understand that Johnson most definitely has not worked his socks off for the good of the country.

Not sure about that one he is a bit like a stuck record a bit of a waste of questions

Stuck record? Where's your head at!? all together now : "Nobody told me " " we're sorry" " we did Brexit" "levelling up" any idea for a chorus? Now THAT'S what I call stuck records!

One of his “we are world beating” claims said “cost of living is coming down” - this on a day when we have the highest inflation for 30 years - this was therefore a blatant lie.

Either a blatant lie or proof he has little idea of what’s really happening. Not good either way.

If anyone should ever have been told to go it was that smirking embarrassing David Davis who wasted so much time over Brexit - never preparing always grinning...makes me feel supportive of Boris in an enemys enemy kind of way. ugghh

Re the Bury South MP who crossed the floor yesterday. Did their constituents vote Labour? No, they voted Conservative, how dare he presume those voters agree with this desertion.

Hmm. Not principled enough to stand down then and prompt a by-election. Lightweight.

God help us is all I can say.

Sue Grey is highly regarded. She has her own reputation to uphold. I for one don’t think she will duck and dive. Cummings has intimated he has more to spill. Apparently Sue Gray is interviewing him today (good) hence the delay in the report coming out - next week now.

Oh Spitting Image where are you now?
