Alexandole Boris de Pfeffel Johnson

Just watched the PMQ highlights and Johnson is the gift that keeps on giving, The one rule for them and another for the rest of us,. is just a strap line that keeps on giving. If he wasn't PM it would be comical watching this clown perform. Its like he given up trying to get rid of the stench of sleaze and they are just throwing more shit on to get rid of the smell.

It's well worth a few minutes on this! Blackford found a way round the rules!

Conduct of the Right Hon. Member for Uxbridge and Sout - Hansard - UK Parliament

"That this House censures the Prime Minister, the Right Honourable Member for Uxbridge and South Ruislip, for frequently violating the sixth Principle of Public Life, for seeking to undermine the recommendations of the Standards Committee on Owen Paterson, for regularly ignoring independent advice on matters such as international treaties and breaches of the Ministerial Code by his ministers, for putting forward proposals to diminish the powers of the Electoral Commission, for ignoring independent advice concerning the granting of peerages to Conservative party donors and nominations to public bodies such as Ofcom; and further calls for his ministerial salary to be reduced by £41,567 per year."

Deputy Speaker's preface: "In this debate, because it is on a substantive motion of this kind, arguments intended to criticise or defend that conduct are in order. Therefore things may be said that the Chair would not normally permit in other proceedings. However, those speaking in favour of the motion should set out their arguments clearly. Intemperate abuse is as out of order on this motion as much as on any other."

When challenged she said, "It is preferable that such words should not be used in this place but, as I said before the right hon. Gentleman rose to his feet, this is a very specific and particular motion and the right hon. Gentleman is examining the conduct of a Member of this House—indeed, the Prime Minister. Therefore, I cannot stop him from using the word that he has just used. I would prefer it if he put things in different terms, but I do not think that he has strayed past the rules. I think he is perfectly in order."

She pulled Blackford up when he cited Lord Cruddas's ennoblement: "Let us take Lord Cruddas, a leading donor to the Vote Leave campaign who, let us not forget, bankrolled the Prime Minister’s Conservative leadership bid. He personally gave up to £4 million in donations to the Tory party and affiliates. His reward? An ermine robe and a seat in the House of Lords. What is worse is that the Prime Minister personally overruled the House of Lords Appointments Commission that advised against his appointment. That was the very first time that the watchdog’s recommendation has ever been ignored. Three days after Lord Cruddas was introduced to the House of Lords, what happened? He handed £500,000 to Conservative central office. I will gladly give way to anyone on the Tory Benches who wants to stand up and justify that level of sleaze." No-one stood, but the Dep Speaker said, "I hope he will be very careful about precisely what he says about any Member of the House of Lords because, of course, any Member of the House of Lords is also a parliamentarian. It is of course in order for the right hon. Gentleman to examine the conduct of the Member who is the subject of the motion, but that does not extend to other Members of Parliament, including those in the Lords."

Dawn Butler (previously thrown out for not withdrawing the word "liar") got in again with, "My hon. Friend is absolutely right that on the Labour Benches we believe that the Ministerial Code should be followed, that Ministers should be compelled to come to the House and tell the truth, and that if they do not tell the truth, they should be dealt with as the Ministerial Code states they should be. Unfortunately, they are led by the Prime Minister, who is the chief liar in charge."

yeah but for me the poster brings some context to things....... Johnson must be smarting though as his reputation is being trashed daily - even Churchill the insurance dog will not want to be associated with him now. Tories must have one eye on opinion polls nationally - his latest failings ( and he was pathetic today ) and opinion polls in their constituency - some new Tories are on majorities in the hundreds who must be shitting their pants. Even Steve Baker is being talked about as a potential casualty with his ever dwindling majority against a backdrop of food banks in his constituency - when interest rates go up and his massively mortgaged constituents feel it he has a job on.
 
or to put it another way she knew and sat on it to do her mate a solid and then became implicit in the cover up because once some time has passed she can't bring it up without having to admit she has concealed it

Bit of a girly comment but he certainly doesn't look to have kept the weight off.

Likes to be seen running an d cycling but we don't know how long or how far - lost weight because he had Covid - I did when I had it coz I was off my grub but his known fondness for booze and eating always meant it would come back. Starmer should have taken him up on his press up challenge - Starmer looks in much better shape if you ask me - Johnson would have turned gammon coloured after the 3rd press up and baled after 5
