If you "evade" everything Guardian how do you know that the Guardian is "anti everything"?

Come on fess up mate. You're the bloke who spreads posts all over social media with "I don't watch the BBC cos of it's lefty bias" (conveniently ignoring that Farridge has been their (BBC) virtually resident panelist on QT.

Sunbeam, I have lived a longish life to come to my conclusions. I read many items from various rags and I dismiss near all where the Guardian is concerned, it should be re-named "Antimush".

 

Newspaper articles are written by individuals, The Guardian is a paper that is full of anti-anything writers, probably carefully selected.

Now, if you don't like my findings, tough.

 

I rarely watch the BBC in LOS, no need too. ????

 

As for lefties, well, they near hate anything in their country, reminds me of when I was a kid starting work and listening to the union carp, it soon occurred to me these people are more interested in causing grief than sorting their woes out...????

 

Anyhoooo, you carry on, and please refrain from talking about Boris's haircut, for some reason, those who don't like the bloke seem transfixed on that, or what the butler heard through a glass on the wall...????

Go get Corby's suit brushed off, and get Abbott to do more rehearsing before she speaks, a winner for the lefty crowd, plus they have a special bond with terrorist organisations to keep us safe. ????

 

Your current "Sir" just isn't cutting it, and his sidekick has the mouth of a public bar tender..... Get to work chap....????

The bar is certainly set very low and I think that Johnson may just hang on.  It is hard to see any MPs stepping up to try and sort out this unholy mess. Certainly the usual subjects will be sitting on their hands waiting for someone gullible enough to put their hand up.  They will then all buddy up to them to desperately try to hang onto their cabinet posts.

about time, vote that clown out, he is a liar and a disgrace for the UK

Perhaps a little early there hasn't been enough time for the conservative MP's to realise just how much public opinion is against him and, by default, the conservative party. Too many of them still think he is the best thing since sliced bread, it is to his advantage to have a vote as quickly as possible.

Yes indeed. Time will tell. If past events are anything to go by Johnson may survive the confidence vote but will be under pressure to resign in due course. He could call a general election which would be interesting....

Fine. In which case they will continue to lurch from scandal to scandal until the next election when they will hopefully get their comeuppance.

I agree with you. Whilst I am sure many Tories now want rid of the liar and criminal they need 180 to do it and I suspect they won't. However, as you have suggested if he stays there will be significant further lies and scandals come to light, possibly involving some cabinet members also, that come the election in 2 years time the Tories will be a sorry 3rd. and as you say their comeuppence. Criminals have no right to be  in parliament

Of course the "scandals" will not stop if their is a change of leadership .

The left wind media will just find another minor happening and turn it into a long running "sandal" for the new leader . 

   Its an ongoing relentless campaign that will only stop when and if Labour form the next Government

Johnson has survived the leadership vote 59% to 41%.

 

Now the fun starts.

My side punt was he’d survive and in the near future call an early election.

 

I’m sticking with it.

We'll see. But I think his ego will not allow it. I think he will limp on and hope for something to turn up.

But then again, if he feels he has no way out, he might decide to burn the house down and take them with him. It'll be interesting one way or another...

The votes have reached the number needed and there is a vote tonight (Monday).  That is not to say he will not survive. Apparently he is offering MPs Knighthoods willy nilly to get the support he needs ????

So he stays as PM then. The anti-Boris league is already outraged. Again. Love it!

Maybe there will be as many new knights as Blair made lords?

Whats going to be next subject for an onslaught of lefty vitriol against Boris then?

" Party gate " should be put to bed and the speaker can forbid any more discussions on this topic as there are far more important matters to be addressed . BJ will never resign nor call an election whilst his popularity has waned .  He cannot be challenged for his leadership for another year and if he can make it to the summer recession on the 21st July he could see out his term . The next hurdles for BJ will be the Privileges cross party enquiry into any misleading statements in the commons . He will survive that but the crunch will come if he brings a new bill to the house for approval and his Tory negative confidence voters retain their stance and vote against him or abstain . That would leave him in an untenable position .    

His own parties revolt on the vote had to happen in order to protect the integrity of the house . Some have said that the anti vote was a slap on the wrist for BJ and to be more diligent in the future . If the Tory MPs do not reform and stick together , they will crumble and succumb to Beer Starmer .

The next hurdle is the upcoming bi-elections, and yes, then the Parliamentary Privileges report.

 

Under the rules, as they stand, Johnson cannot be challenged for another twelve months, but the rules can be changed.

 

The Tories now have a leader who does not have the support of a significant number of his own MPs and dwindling support amongst the public.

 

The economy is getting worse, inflation is getting worse, poverty is getting worse, Brexit is getting worse and Johnson is bereft of any policies to fix any of it.

 

Nobody does an internecine knife fight like the Tories.

 

The clock is ticking.

No other western leader has self harmed with Brexit.

 

Germany, France, The Netherlands, no where in Scandinavia are facing the levels of or growth in poverty that the UK is facing.

We can be sure Johnson will never make an honorable resignation.

 

It’s a great result for the UK’s opposition parties.

Well it finally took a criminal in their own nest  to do what the other parties have been trying to do to the Tories for over a century. Maggie Thatcher would be so pleased to look down on how Boris is screwing with the British electorate.
