Boris Johnson

Well they grilled him for over 3 hours. Did they find a smoking gun?

ermmm....

I really don't know the Priveledge committe is even bothering. Harman et al have already made their minds up.

Liar, liar pants on fire he wouldn’t know the truth if it bit him on the bum

That made me laugh!

I guess if you're sitting in the Hot Seat you're going to be called out for something you did, or didn't do. 🔥 🩳

I have always thought that the elevation of Nadine Dorries by BJ showed flagrant nepotism.
The Country of Shakespeare and Dickens given a Culture Sec. who writes romantic novels and gazes on Johnson with schoolgirl adoration. Disgraceful.

I regret watching it yesterday afternoon as it has rubbed salt into some yet to heal wounds. When all those “staff farewell gatherings” were going on I was following the rules. I stood outside in all weathers for nursing home window visits to a loved one. Due to his severe learning disability he couldn’t understand why I couldn’t come inside.

I can’t erase the image of him on the other side of the window with his arms outstretched to me asking for a hug. Thank God he had wonderful staff caring for him and gave the hugs he craved while his family were following the guidelines.

This isn’t just about the Prime minister lying to parliament, it is about what Johnson has done to the integrity and democratic process of the United Kingdom.

Those responsible for bringing it so much into disrepute like Johnson, the ERG and cohorts need disbanding and getting rid of. The populist agenda they followed needs to be shown for the hollow and divisive ideology it is. The damage they have done to the U.K. is profound.

Sara Vine this morning says that Johnson was "as agile as a cat". Presumably this is the cat she had in mind.

You’d think there were more urgent and important news items than that twit. He is a proven liar, everyone knows it. Move on.

I think lying to the HoC though maybe not "urgent" is rather important.

We'll move on when he's answered the questions - this is all part of that process.

It may not matter to you, but some of us think that honour and integrity in Parliament are essential qualifications for someone who is in control of the government. He is accountable to us - we pay his salary.

Johnson apologists have no shame. People were unable to say goodbye to their dying loved ones.
If only those doctors, nurses, care workers, ambulance crews had worked harder they too would have been entitled to a morale boosting event with imperfect social distancing.

What is quite incredible, is how Tories themselves are turning- and their dedicated and supportive Press.

I mean Camilla Tominey! And The Telegraph yesterday!

The cult of Boris Johnson – and his Brexit dream – are imploding

As a Tory rebellion on Windsor Framework fails to arrive, Brexit’s poster boy struggles to take back control of his political future'

The Telegraph and Camilla of all people!

I think we need you in charge here nanna8 love it!

If he goes who will they replace him with?

I mean in the role as Official Conservative Liar. I was reminded of this yesterday when a trailer came up on television for a rerun of the story of Geoffrey Archer and the Prostitute.

Having an obnoxious and compulsive liar high in the party hierarchy seems to be an important part of Conservative politics. Johnson, Archer and I am sure there has a;ways been one. A bit like the requirement for court jester (Prince Harry/Andrew?)

His star is on the wane in the Tory party, along with the ERG crowd who used to effectively run this country. They could only come up with 22 votes against the Windsor framework - it was a good day for Sunak.

I think Johnson was hoping to lead a major rebellion but it didn't quite turn out that way.

Liar, liar pants on fire he wouldn’t know the truth if it bit him on the bum

Apparently the official photographer attended all the parties, but not a single photo was ever put up onto the official web -site. Probably because they knew that the parties broke the rules.

How this creature who presided over the detailed creation, roll-out and monitoring of Covid lock down rules can pretend that he didn't realise that they were regularly being broken in Downing Street, is utterly beyond belief. He is a stranger to the truth, not for the first time, and the sooner he is excluded from politics the better. Will the Committee bite the bullet and find that he has indeed misled Parliament? If not, that will speak volumes about the moral compass of the Conservative party. I'm not holding my breath..

Furthermore, the SPADs were comms people varian and Urmstongran

"just be robust and they'll get bored".

The verdict, it is thought, won’t be out until May - after the elections.

Not moving on until he has been kicked out of Parliament and politics for good.

It's easy for you to say it from 1,000s of miles away, nanna8, you haven't had to endure the sheer awfulness, humiliation and despair that many of us have felt in the past few years at having that man destroy so much; our democracy, our economy, our standing in the world, all for the sake of of self aggrandisement and enrichment. He is corrupt and rotten to the core. He should be destroyed...

Our whole parliamentary system is based on trust, , honour and integrity. This man has destroyed all that. He sickens me.

I fear the voters of Uxbridge will vote him in again so he may be with us for a long time to come. I just hope he is never given high office again. His so-called evidence to the Committee was largely bluster and denial and seemed to cut no ice with them. But he is carving out a role as a very expensive after dinner speaker for the rich fools who want to listen to him. In my opinion his friend Lord G defended him on Newsnight with a mixture of diversion, special pleading and bluster. I doubt most viewers were taken in.

It seems that the advisors who assured him yhay no rules were broken were SPADs - political advisors not civil servants.

How many ordinary folk thought at the time they were not even allowed to say a final farewell to their loved ones whilst he had regular boozy leaving dos in no 10?

If only we had known then that leaving events were exempt from social distancing rules. We couldn't visit sick and lonely relatives but it was essential for the PM of the day to raise a glass to anyone leaving number 10 for a new job, he says. Johnson is defending himself on technicalities but can't he see how morally wrong it was? I am baffled by the mindset of anyone who is still supporting him.
