Downing Street flat: Boris Johnson faces fresh questions over revamp costs

Labour accuses the PM of lying about a donation, as the Tories are fined for failing to properly declare it.

He is gone. Has to be. Surely?

 

[xgorton]

There are a few honourable exceptions - am thinking Sam Coates, Beth Rigby and Kay Burley at Sky and Lewis Goodall at the BBC and James O'Brien and Eddie Mair on LBC but for the most part the Govt has journalism in its back pocket

Watch RT they seem to find things out.

Their decorators probably bugged the number 10 flat lol

If the propaganda arm of the Russian State and its intelligent services can’t find things out then what hope is there for the rest of us?

Watch and learn.

No thanks. Like all propaganda the very last thing you will get from it is knowledge.

What people seem to forget about the Big Lie Johnson is peddling is how dangerous this man is and the damage he is causing

Agree. He has made lying completely acceptable. I ducking hate the fact that people call him Boris. Realise for many it’s disparaging and born out of a lack of respect for him, but it gives him wiggle room. Ah, it’s only Boris, being Boris, harmless, what can you expect. A bit like the leeway Scholes got for his nasty tackles. Ah, typical Scholesy. Wankers.

There were numerous articles about his disdain for telling the truth,prior to him becoming P.m.

People still voted for him,lots of them knowing he is a bullshitter.

As long as someone like that tells people what they want to hear,they'll keep voting for them.

If illegal gatherings don’t get him, the wallpaper he got for his gaff will by the sounds of it.

13.9 million voted for him despite, as you say, his long, long history of lying. He was sacked for it when a journalist and Michael Howard sacked him from the shadow cabinet for lying. But it’s ok, said 13.9 million people, it’s only Boris, arf arf.

You get what you pay for, the Tories who voted for him and are now wringing their hands about him - really? Sheep led by donkeys.

That’s equally a reflection of the alternatives that were offered. All parties have been shocking for some time, ten years at least.

 

[kaz7]

People voted tory mainly because of brexit , they have no valid reasons to vote for them again after showing what lying , sleazy cunts they have been

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

I think you are right , stinks and makes the press equally bent

Always has been where Tories are concerned. Looks like they want Johnson out and the ERG in. Johnson had the character to get the vote, now that’s done they want to get their policy’s in place.

Agree, the line up of potential leaders in 2019 was awful, though I think Labour policies, though too many of them in one package, were v good. And it has been about 12 or 13 years since the country was governed on all sides by statesmen and women.

As another poster mentioned, the Clegg decision to support Cameron and Len McClusky choosing the wrong Milliband means we are where we are. Starmer has more gravitas and I’d like to see Yvette Cooper given a higher profile - country needs calm authority, not shrill shouting.

But there should be no shock and surprise at the current state of affairs by anyone who voted for Johnson.

Yes I'm hopeful that Starmer is building something but I think as a country we need the Lib Dems to become a force again because the tories have a huge natural base, especially now Scotland is not there for Labour for the foreseeable.

True. We need them to take seats off the Tories in Libdem-Tory marginals that Labour could never win.

and his name isn't even boris, apparently his friends and family call him Al or Alex. 'boris' was a character he developed at eton to stop him getting the piss taken out him because he grew up abroad. this of course posits a quite worrying scenario whereby 'boris' can lie through his teeth, but 'al' knows that 'that's just boris, i'm just playing a lying chancer' etc.

 

[Manchester33]

How depressing is it that people will vote for this shower in the next election? You know they'll get back in. We'll reinforce the priminister's view that he can do whatever he wants without repercussion.

You could argue BBC News is exactly the same.

Both are state funded. RT does give people another perspective on UK politics. Going Underground and it's documentary series on various issues affecting the USA/UK and Europe are actually well balanced.

The Las Vegas shootings one is an eye opener.

Back on topic I think most high profile journalists have closed ranks on the Christmas parties as they were very likely at them or are mates with who was there.
