The clowns head of policy has resigned because of the Jimmy Saville comment ( see link ). His world is slowly falling apart. I see the Chancellor in his speech in the questions has said ‘ ask the PM it’s nothing I would have said ‘. That’s a telling response.

I'm left inclined but I got the feeling Sunak was making a job application. He handled the press incredibly well. It felt very strange listening to the radio carefully rather than screaming at it.

Talking of the Argentina - Hitler theory, I would love it if Mel Brooks did a Boris Johnson version of his Hitler Rap from 1983.

That ended with a line referencing the theory and in turn, it reminded me of that song (“Auf wiedersehn, nice to see you. I have a one way ticket to Argentina”).

It bears repeating that apparently in a PMQ practice session Johnson used the Savile line, or said he wanted to, and was told very firmly not to. That it was a really bad idea. But then when it came to the real thing he went ahead. And even his 'apology' today smacks of a sixth-form debating society, saying ''a lot of people have got very hot under the collar.''

This does start to look terminal. Despite being in the cabinet Sunak has effectively said he won't go on being sullied by having to defend Johnson. Other minsters are likely to follow that lead.

Breaking News

Doyle the clowns director of communications has just resigned. Is the clown getting rid of them or is he sunk ?

Four quitting. Though 'bring your own booze' Martin Reynolds is just going back to the Foreign Office.

Only they will know their real motivations, but they would have been, or about to be interviewed by the police over the various parties at Downing Street so quitting now and finding another job may limit the fallout to their careers.

I think the last Smashy&Nicey Harry Enfield sketch had the DJs rushing to the media so they could announce they were resigning before the station could announce they'd been sacked.

"Being honest, I wouldn't have said it."

What is that second word?

[Well b back 3,308]

At least Sunaks moving costs will be low, maybe he can walk his stuff next door with no cost to the taxpayer.

[Well b back 3,308]

So the clown spurts more lies and misleading data, you would never get anyone on here doing that with things like G7 data.

As I have said before, how do you know he has lied ? His lips move.

Following the awful murder of David Amess, the by election for Southend West is today

Most of the larger parties have not stood, but there is a seriously impressive collection of racists, right wing nutters, little Englanders and freaks who have gone up against the Tory candidate 

Thankfully, the Tory is nailed on to win

Only 24% turnout.

He'll need to buy a wallpaper steamer to get rid of the middle-eastern brothel look.

Number 5 leaves Number 10

[Barry Brockes 148]

Ministers have been briefed to say that it shows Johnson is following up on his promise to sort out No.10.

A cynic might think it's more likely that these five all attended one or more of the parties held in No.10 so are getting out under their terms before they're pushed.

Or maybe it's just as the five are telling it - but truth and No.10 aren't words you normally find in the same sentence.

Not many, but still too many 😟

24%. That's shocking. Is it more out of respect to David Amess' memory, or more indicative of voter apathy...

[Well b back 3,308]

So 7 times he was told he was not telling the truth and on seven different dates he repeated the incorrect information. His lips moved again he lied.

His family is worth well over £1 billion,  do don't get wealth like that by changing the wall paper every five minutes😉

[keelansgrandad 6,679]

Back to the bad old days. Calls for people to moderate wage claims to help keep costs down. Boom and Bust seems to still attract the world's economies.

A smart inflation hedge, gold always holds it price😉

You only have to scrape the wallpaper when things get a bit tight.

Their gearing us up for another round of austerity. Low waged shouldn't ask for a pay rise. Tighten our belts. Live within our means etc. I wouldn't mind if these parasites stopped throwing money away or turning a blind eye to corruption.

So the governor of the Bank of England, on a wage of £495,000, tells the poor not to ask for a wage rise to mitigate astronomical increases in the cost of living, in a week the government just voted for large tax cuts for the banks. I guess PR is not one of this government's strengths.

Another one (or two)  bites the dust.

Please put him out of his misery.
