Remember when you voted to take back sovereignty?

This is so boring. Move on.

This is so boring. Move on.

Why? Because you tell us to?? Haven’t you got better things to do than comment on posts that bore you? How sad…..

Thanks Grany Done.

This is so boring. Move on.

Alternatively, for those for whom this thread is boring, perhaps scroll on?

Which I often do for threads that don’t interest me personally, or where unkindness rears its ugly head… this thread, however, is anything but boring for anyone with an ounce of concern for the direction in which this man and his cronies are dragging our country.

Allsorts

This is so boring. Move on.

Of course you may if you're bored.

Surely this can’t be correct. But honestly nothing surprises me any more

Just heard Johnson is moving to change the Conservative Party rulebook, raising the threshold of MPs' letters required to initiate a vote of no confidence in the sitting Prime Minister, from 15% to 100% - i.e. including a letter from the Prime Minister himself.*

More people should email the standards commissioner Johnson should not be allowed to get away with this

The argument for a written constitution is very strong now. I think.

How can changing the tory rule book make any difference? I thought it was a Parliamentary rule?

Don't the tory rules just apply to the tory party leadership, not to PMs?

And surely the tory party leader is not able to change the rules on a whim. Doesn't it require the input of rather more people?

Mingella was joking WWM2 just positing something that a man who is ripping up the rulebook would like to be able to do. Minghella goes on to say:

If, even for a fleeting moment, that sounded like it could be true, it is because Johnson has poured scorn on our standards and norms. He has shredded our unwritten constitution and kicked law-abiding British decency in the face. Until he is gone, nothing and nobody is safe.

Oak and WWM - This is exactly like Trump. It became impossible to separate his ideas from his reality. If someone had told you he had decided to make Mar-a-lago a kingdom it wouldn't have raised an eyebrow. Johnson is growing ever more Trumpish. He needs to go.

True Maisie!
