Boris Johnson

First response to that on Twitter was an old Turkish proverb.

'When a clown moves in to a Palace it does not make him a King, it just makes the Palace a Circus'

How can anyone argue with that?

Turkey should have remembered that when Erdoğan came along.

Turkey should have remembered that when Erdoğan came along.

I had a Turkish lady, mature English student, staying for three months.
She was extremely concerned about the election and Erdogan getting in by hook or by crook.
She felt that Turkey could go the way of Afghanistan and she may have to leave if that happens.

Turkey should have remembered that when Erdoğan came along.

Even the strap hangings on the metro have pics of Erdoğan taking credit for the railway. He takes credit for new infrastructure but not for the inflation and the falling lira. Interesting that the Tories recently tried the same thing here, using public money to trumpet public spending as a Conservative party advert.

Boris' mate Hari invited onto BBC again to spout his mates lies and the Tory MP is backing him.

BBC Politics coverage is a comedy channel these days

 

[TinFoilHat]

All Hari did was go full trump. He was called out for it numerous times and then tried to flog his ghostwriting Johnson's "Fire and Brimstone" bio.

Privileges committee signs off Boris Johnson Partygate report

Exclusive: MPs’ verdict that former prime minister misled parliament on course to be published on Thursday morning

www.theguardian.com

About to post their last order of business was to agree a motion that says Fuck Off Johnson.

I can't decide whether this is now just a tit for tat war between the two and their admirers or is it actually an indicator they haven't got a pot to piss in and they can't meet all the commitments. I mean according to Construction News reported inflation in the industry for the year 2022 was adding £23bn to their costs so thats probably why there are not 40 new hospitals and the White Elephant that is HS2 must be bleeding us dry

Rishi Sunak scraps second round of Boris Johnson's flagship towns fund

MPs criticised the towns fund for a lack of transparency and for creating the impression of political bias.

I see Johnson has got a new job writing for the Daily Mail.

Presumably, Chipperfields had no vacancies.

 

[Kirkstall Blue]

I was told yesterday he has a column in the Daily Mail by someone who has voted Tory at the last election hates Prince Harry and Meghan thrilled we left the EU and racist when it comes to immigration, all views opposite to mine

The only thing we have in common is the same upbringing, there is no opposite view they now live in Wales and hate the current Labour government with Boris writing for the daily mail how are we ever going to change things

Can we rescind his honours list it’s disgraceful a man thrown out by his own party should make one

 

[BrianW]

Can this country ever be put back together again?

I very much doubt it. So many people are in denial. Our poisonous press does not help. It serves largely to stir up hatred. The Daily Mail, for example, is just a 21st-century Der Sturmer. The conspiracy BS on the internet doesn't help either.

Thankfully, neither did the Chippendales.

Reet-Smug with a fake posh voice and pointing thinks he knows everything when he is a dumb **** in reality

 

[MillionMilesAway]

I've listened to about half an hour, and apart from Rees-Mogg exceeding his allotted time, I think the MPs are quite enjoying the use of the word 'liar' and related terms. One just used "Liar Johnson".

It is the payback for not being allowed to call an honourable member a liar. The consequences for being caught lying are more serious. That's the theory.

I hope she’s not relying on a bus.

 

[bluethrunthru]

well that vote exposes the Johnson myth. He has no popularity in the PCP - could only muster 7 to vote his way

 

[MillionMilesAway]

I did think that it was inevitable that someone would cry 'no' to get a vote recorded.
All those abstentions, and a mighty 7 in support.

Bill Cash, knighted by Johnson, and some non-entities.
So the fatuous Mogg didn't vote, as didn't several of the speakers who opposed the report.

118 Conservatives voted for the motion.

I’d love to know though who and where the 260 odd were who didn’t attend and didn’t vote were! Especially the weasel we have as PM!
All worried they’ll be deselected I guess.
