Boris Johnson will travel home from Cop26 by private plane

PM to fly from Glasgow to London in plane run partly on sustainable fuel rather than taking 4.5-hour train

Was reading this thread this morning about the aftermath of their prophecy not coming true. It just gets more and more mental. Genuinely feel sorry for the people taken in by this, especially the “med bed” stuff:

Just had an idea for a slogan for the climate protestors about the disdain governments and corporations show to the planet and environment in their desire for money.

Are there any good documentaries on QAnon? Don't really know that much about other than that ridiculous stuff you see them posting online.

Is it just me that everytime you see the name your head just goes 'mmm, QAnon' as if it were a Danone advert? Even though that's not how you pronounce it.

Close this thread.
We are no longer able to influence political decision making through discussion and debate. We have an increasingly corrupt elected dictatorship and a critical number of voters don't seem to have noticed or care.
If you ever vote Tory again you are complicit.

Exactly the words that crossed my mind when I was listening to a news report on it.
Though trying to hide behind the tragic death of your wife when you've been caught with your fingers in the till is a new low even for the tories.

It's a close one between that and using the murder of a colleague to shirk accountability and transparency.

I'd have been shocked if they hadn't.

It's such a joke now that even someone as placid as me is starting to think we need a revolution to just start again. They're running the country solely for their own benefit and the needs of the country and it's people are now not just secondary, they're completely irrelevant to those in charge. But what's worse is that those that are enriching and enpowering themselves, riding roughshod over the laws of the land, trying to control the media and reporting, massively damaging the country economically and politically with farcical responses to Brexit and Covid are still ahead in the polls. it just beggars belief.

There was a time I was proud to be British. Not anymore.

My understanding is that his wife committed suicide because of the pressure from the investigation.

The investigation came first, the suicide second.

I have no further comment as I don't know all the details.

The investigation did come first.

But he made no mention of the investigation when discussing her suicide when it happened.

Only after he got caught with his hands in the till did he try and link the two.

Pretty obvious what he's doing.

I don’t know much about the issues raised about the case/decision (im sure I read three out of four Tories on the committee agreed with the suspension though) but this just feels, and certainly looks, wrong

What's really odd is that this was an open goal for the Tories.

Either
Throw Paterson to the wolves and claim they are the party of law and order and fairness, move on and let it be forgotten in a week or so.

Or
Change the rules to allow him to evade a 30 day suspension (It's not exactly Jonathon Aitken levels of naughty is it)? and end up looking like a tribe of shysters.

Smacks of hubris.

I think James O’Brien made the best comparison (I do listen to him sometimes). It’s like your football team losing 3-0 and then you get together with your other supporters after the event to change the rules of football to reverse the loss.

You'd think even this current shower would baulk at the optics of this. Christ even the Daily Mail is piling in (though Im sure they'll fall into line soon enough).

Nick Ferrari will no doubt pretend to be angry tomorrow morning for 10 mins before reverting to type and having a pop at Doctors, cyclists and The French.

Speaking of the latter I see the Express have just pretended the Paterson story doesn't even exist and still lead with the fishing `row' conveniently cooked up up between Spaffer and Macron.

I think it's because they know there's further investigations pending, getting in now means they can ignore/change the results of those too.

One of the investigations is into a certain Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson...
