Politicians having alcohol during a meetings during Covid restrictions .

The cases are nearly identical .

This is yet another case where you display your biasedness .

Had Keir and Starmer been fined and Boris not fined , you would have made accusations of lies and corruption   and Borises mates from Eton getting him let off the charges .

  No one has been "frothing"

Nah, different time, different regulations in play at that time.

 

Exactly the same outcome as the first police investigation.

 

Had Starmer been fined he would have resigned, he made no attempt at all to dodge the investigation and made an unequivocal statement that he would accept its findings.

 

Not so Johnson.

 

Starmer was handed an opportunity to seize the moral high ground, he very wisely grasped it.

Well yes, your lot haven't the ball's to tell her to retire, or just be quiet, but folk kept applauding Corby, the secret terrorist supporter, wiv DA backing him up...That really is criminal, strange nothing from your lot about that, a beer is more important to denounce..

 

But to be fair, your now "Sir" leader is just as useless, even with four letter words at his shoulder......????

Her constituency ALWAYS elects a Labour candidate , they vote for Labour whoever is standing and have only ever elected a Labour candidate  .

  They vote Labour , rather than voting for her

I don't have much time for Abbott or 'Corby' but what law have either of them broken.

I know, absolutely amazing, but then perhaps the area she works the voters don't watch her House blabbering, only promises on the streets..

Still, the Blessed Keir can at least procede with his declared plan of calling a vote of no confidence in the government now, can't he?

 

That will allow the electorate to decide...

Imo it would be tactically naive for Starmer to call a vote of confidence. There is no chance of it succeeding and it might even bring the Tories together. Labour are better off letting the Tories devour itself.

I do think that it was a cunning plan by Diane .

If She wore two left shoes, then the left/Labour would win the election , because the Left side would have the majority , just like her shoes , more left than right

Given the nonsense that was spoken in defence of Johnson in the recent past, there would not be enough courts to try all the offenders arrested for breaking those laws????

Or maybe she does a good job representing her constituency rather than old school chums.

Could be that Conservatives elect a new Prime minister and the U.K electorate may favour a future Conservative Government at the next elections (with a new leader) ?

I believe that’s what the Tories are hoping for.

 

But will the new PM address the problems being faced by the voting public?

 

Do the voting public have any faith left in the Tories?

 

Are the Tories going to elect one of Johnson’s enablers and go straight back to business as usual?

 

 

[KhaoYai]

Let's face it, the only reason he won his 80 seat election victory was that people voted for the conservatives who would never dream of doing so normally.  The reason - both labour and the lib-dems were going to prolong the brexit debate that had been going on for, I think, 3 years.

 

Like many people I know, even remainers, we just wanted it over, it was crippling the country.  I voted conservative for that very reason but I also thought the party would get rid of the buffoon within a few months, how wrong I was.

 

Those who support him should do a little research into his history (of lies). Remember the EU Bent Banana story?  A lie concocted by Boris when he was a journalist.............there are many examples both in and out of office, do your research and see just who it is (in reality) you support. Another was the £350 million per week the UK would save.

 

Then there's his spending - anyone know about the £43 million he spent of his Garden Bridge, the one that never got built when he was Mayor of London - FORTY THREE MILLION POUNDS! for a bridge that didn't even get to the planning permission stage - to name but one. Spent/Wasted on PPE during the pandemic?  That will come out in the inquiry but its rumoured to be billions.

 

Achievments? 

 

Vaccine? - any other Prime Minister would have done the same, the thing was developed in a UK university for god's sake.  Anyone checked the UK's Covid deaths total? In any case, I doubt Boris had much at all to do with the actual planning of the vaccine rollout - that was carried out by the NHS.

 

Brexit - Oven Ready Deal........really? Then why is Brexit still not done (Northern Ireland)

 

New Hospitals? - None built - or even started as far as I know.

 

Levelling up? A con, most of his projects in the North have been cancelled.

 

HS2? - Northern sections cancelled.

 

The man did a lot of talking, a lot of lying and tried to change the law to protect his buddies. But he actually did very little other than damage the country's reputation.

 

The problem now for the UK is how much damage has he done and do the conservatives have time to make effective repairs before the next election?  If labour get in, it will be disasterous for the UK.

 

The conservatives need to think very carefully about who they choose as their next leader.  Liz Truss is almost as hated (by the public) as Boris is and if they elect one of the candidates with foreign heritage, that will also probably cause them to lose the next election.  There's still a lot of racism in the UK and the public think very differently to the major party members who seem to live in cloud cuckoo land.

 

Reece Mogg?  I haven't seen any announcement from him but surely, even the conservatives wouldn't be that stupid. The man should be shot.

 

Interesting and potentially worrying times ahead.

That was true . 

The E.U had rules regarding the shape of bananas , one E.U rule was that bananas need to  'free from malformation or abnormal curvature of the fingers'.

The pledge was to build 40 new hospitals by 2030 .

3.7 Billion Pounds has already been spent on this pledge .

How about doing a bit of research before posting misinformation ?

Not at all, it’s an example of the damage Johnson continues to do while he remains as PM.

Its not about avoiding the truth , you can write things in your own words  , but if I want to read and reply to a Guardian journalist , I can go and reply to them on the Guardian website .

   I used to spend my days reading the Guardian , but feel free to write things in your own words , or we could just keep sending links to each other ?

He went public, Sky News on Friday morning I think, and said that was what he was going to do.

Maybe, like some of us, he tends to avoid the Autotràder Political Supplement.

 

As with all political commentary, print or broadcast, truth is subjective.
