keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted June 15, 2023 Sunak needs to vote in favour of the Committee's recommendations and then tell the World that we are moving on from Johnson. He has a few klingons to manouvre past in Rees Mogg, Fabricant and Dorries. But they will be forgotten in the coming weeks. Just ignore Johnson. Don't give the lying, privileged, spoilt brat any more oxygen. I despise most Tories but that does not stop me wanting Sunak to be given the opportunity to sort out the economy.

And luckily for them they did otherwise their economy would be in the toilet. If you think Brexit is bad Scottish independence would be an even worse nightmare. Anybody who is anti brexit but pro Scottish independence is a nutjob, half the arguments in favour of it all just retooled pro brexit statements Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm pro Scotland staying in the UK, but even I acknowledge they'd be fine in the long run. They've a bigger population than Ireland. They invented the telephone. They produce the single greatest luxury product on the planet (scotch). They'd probably rejoin the EU before long. They'd experience short term economic pain, but would end up fine on their own.

benchwarmer 625 Posted June 15, 2023 (edited) A report on the World Service this evening quoted an unnamed member of the Privileges Committee, who said it had decided to give Johnson 40 days suspension but after his response to the report they increased it to 90 days.

Well b back 3,281 Posted June 15, 2023 11 hours ago, benchwarmer said: The amount of partying that went on in Downing Street and elsewhere was far in excess of what you'd normally expect to find in a typical well-functioning workplace, even without covid restrictions. And I bet we don't know the half of it. But what else can we expect when there are five (subsidised) bars in the Houses of Parliament, open all hours, and 'work' doesn't start until after 'lunch'? Partygate is just an extreme example of the dominant culture. Bet Dominic knows about 10x worse and like him or not he is biding his time before spilling the beans.

Don't get me wrong, anyone still supporting him is delusional... Trump's figures went up after his court hearing. Its because there is no grey area so its up or down. And the same with Boris. Many will think and know he is a a liar but will now question things because of what he has said. Right down to the illusion that he keeps fit every morning. As an ex long distance runner I can assure that wha the wears is not for running, its for the beach. Nobody wears a dress shirt, bermudas and hush puppies to run with. And of course, you sweat profusely. Its all part of the Johnson myth. Because why is he still so fat? As QT said last night, move on, ignore the **** and pressure Sunak to get things done.

Yellow Fever 3,839 Posted June 16, 2023 I tend to think that Sunak should show some leadership, remove the whip from anybody who votes against the report. The issue is simple. Johnson was an attack on the very institution and workings of of our democracy. It relies on ministers telling the truth to parliament. We'll put aside he also lied to the late Queen and as is an overall scoundrel.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No such cries when Boris deprived May of her income. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
