Invoking Jimmy Savile after an unusually powerful speech from Starmer was particularly desperate.

It’s increasingly clear the government will do everything it can to stop this full report from being published.

Johnson's remarks have turned my stomach. The Jimmy Savile reference is a disgusting smear and slanderous without parliamentary privilege.
The tory benches are quiet and seem to be thinning out.
When will they do the decent thing?
Have they no shame or sense of decency?

There's some fake images of him campaigning for the Tories but plenty of genuine photos of him with Thatcher

They were all elected on a manifesto full of lies. There are no good Tories.

An absolutely superb speech by Keir Starmer.

No one, except the most subservient of pathetic bootlickers, can read/listen to this speech and say Starmer would not make a better PM than Johnson.

A serious, well crafted, factual and emotional speech versus pathetic shouts of random catchphrases with no substance whatsoever. A proper statesman versus a total clown.



The prime minister repeatedly assured the House that the guidance was followed and the rules were followed. But we now know that 12 cases have breached the threshold for criminal investigation, which I remind the House means that there is evidence of serious and flagrant breaches of lockdown, including the party on May 20 2020, which we know the prime minister attended, and the party on November 13 2020 in the prime minister’s flat.

There can be no doubt that the prime minister himself is now subject to criminal investigation. The prime minister must keep his promise to publish Sue Gray’s report in full when it is available, but it is already clear what the report disclosed is the most damning conclusion possible.

By routinely breaking the rules he set, the prime minister took us all for fools, he held people’s sacrifice in contempt, he showed himself unfit for office.

His desperate denials since he was exposed have only made matters worse. Rather than come clean, every step of the way he’s insulted the public’s intelligence.

And now he’s finally fallen back on his usual excuse: it’s everybody’s fault but his. They go, he stays. Even now he is hiding behind a police investigation into criminality in his home and his office.

He gleefully treats what should be a mark of shame as a welcome shield. But prime minister, the British public aren’t fools, they never believed a word of it, they think the prime minister should do the decent thing and resign.

Of course he won’t because he is a man without shame and just as he has done throughout his life, he’s damaged everyone and everything around him along the way.

His colleagues have spent weeks defending the indefensible, touring the TV studios parroting his absurd denials, degrading themselves and their offices, fraying the bond of trust between the government and the public, eroding our democracy and the rule of law.

[Margaret Thatcher said] ‘the first duty of government is to uphold the law. If it tries to bob and weave and duck around that duty when it is inconvenient, then so will the governed.’

To govern this country is an honour, not a birthright. It’s an act of service to the British people, not the keys to a court to parade to your friends.

It requires honesty, integrity and moral authority. I can’t tell you how many times people have said to me that this prime minister’s lack of integrity is somehow ‘priced in’, that his behaviour and character don’t matter. I have never accepted that and I never will accept that.

Whatever your politics, whatever party you vote for, honesty and decency matter. Our great democracy depends on it, and cherishing and nurturing British democracy is what it means to be patriotic.

There are members opposite who know that, and they know the prime minister is incapable of it. The question they must ask themselves is what are they going to do about it?

They can heap their reputations, the reputation of their party and the reputation of this country on the bonfire that is his leadership, or they can spare the country from a prime minister totally unworthy of his responsibilities. It is their duty to do so.

They know better than anyone how unsuitable he is for high office, many of them knew in their hearts that we would inevitably come to this one day, and they know that as night follows day, continuing his leadership will mean further misconduct, cover-up and deceit.

It is only they who can end this farce. The eyes of the country are upon them. They will be judged on the decisions they take now.

16 events over the threshold for criminality and under investigation by the Met.

It is a neat trick the tories have in finding PMs who are even worse than the last

Starmer not mincing his words and bang on the money. How the pound shop Berlusconi was ever allowed into politics at any level is worrying, how he was allowed to continue long enough to reach the highest office is staggering.

How fucking useless is Lindsay Hoyle by the way.

Accuse the Labour front bench of being drug users? Nothing.

Accuse the PM of lying? Get marched out of the fucking room.

I watched Panorama and heard Lord Marland (Conservative in the House of Lords) say that Boris Johnson and the civil servants worked incredibly hard and he should be cut some slack over Partygate.

What an insult to all the other people out there that also worked incredibly hard, but obeyed the rules!

Wow the prime minister tells the truth, the man is a known liar with a list as long as him arm of porkies.

She needs to learn that even if you keep repeating rubbish it doesn’t make it the truth in the end.
