If he was a proper Chorley lad he'd be smacking the shit out Boris in the toilets and ramming his head down the bog for taking the piss out of parliament.

Boris Johnson 'a liar' who will blame Brexit costs on Covid
Boris Johnson is “an unrepentant and inveterate liar” who feels he is not subject to the same rules as others, Sylvie Bermann, the former French ambassador to the UK during the Brexit vote, says in a new book.
She also claims some Brexiters are consumed with hatred for Germany and gripped by a myth that they liberated Europe on their own, describing Brexit as a triumph of emotion over reason, won by a campaign full of lies in which negative attitudes to migration were exploited by figures such as Johnson and Michael Gove.
Bermann, who served as the French ambassador to the UK from 2014 to 2017 and has been one of the most senior diplomats in the French diplomatic service, including as ambassador to China and to Russia, assesses the British handling of the Covid pandemic as among the worst in the world alongside that of Donald Trump and Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil. She predicts Johnson will seek to use Covid to mask the true economic cost of Brexit on the UK economy.
Johnson, she says, comes from an Eton and Oxford University class that believes they are entitled to use language to provoke. Describing him as intelligent and charming, she says he uses “lies to embellish reality, as a game and as instrument of power. The ends justify the means. He has no rules.”
Asked at a Royal United Services Institute thinktank event about her description of him as an unrepentant liar, she said: “He would not object to being called that. He knows he is a liar. He has always played with that. He was fired from his first post for that reason.”

Theres only one stage he would ever represent me on .... and thats the one at the local pantomime at Christmas.... I see useless Eustace cant remember his lines and is having to read from a script (surprises me that he can read actually).
Oh and they've already thrown the beef farmers under the bus by doing a deal with Brazil.
On the phones yesterday, I found a Johnson fan. Normally you'd just pass on to the next call, but he mentioned PMQ. I said Starmer each week asked six questions and Johnson didn't answer any. He said that's what makes Johnson a brilliant politician.

Do you normally spend your Saturdays ringing people hoping to find fans of Johnson?On the phones yesterday, I found a Johnson fan. Normally you'd just pass on to the next call, but he mentioned PMQ.

I'll talk to anybody.Do you normally spend your Saturdays ringing people hoping to find fans of Johnson?
I've phoned about 100 people in the last week and only found two in that category. I wouldn't normally phone those who've said they vote Tory but we are picking up a few Tories who were against Brexit or just think Johnson is a lying clown (and former Labour who voted Tory because of Brexit and/or Corbyn and are now satisfied that "Brexit is done").
There might be some "independent" candidates in the local elections but they are mostly nimbys who'd vote against new housing planning applications and land the council with huge costs for losing appeals. Plus Handforth parish council is all independents, so it's hardly a guarantee of good governance.
