Do you never read back what you’re typing? I know you’re having a difficult day but just read it back before post. You’re sounding like an hysterical child.

Not sure that press conference helped. Telling people he did nothing wrong in saying goodbye to work colleagues while he banned you in law from saying goodbye to dying loved ones probably isn’t the look he should be going for right now.

I thought the press questions were weak. He hardly answered any and no one came back at him.
Saying goodby to work colleagues didn't necessitate alcohol. A simple observation none of them put to him .

Hopefully starting to see the majority of sensible people don’t want him and many never did. The usual waffle going on about a war we really don’t need to be trying to take a front row seat in and an increase in the cost of living his government has helped create.

The war in Ukraine is such a red herring. Parliament is speaking with one voice on Ukraine and it echoes public opinion. The idea that Boris is the only one holding support for Ukraine together is just bollocks. It’s also pretty low to use the war in Ukraine as some sort of human shield to save his own back.

No it isn't. Besides, that doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

Wait.. what? Boris Johnson is a liar! Wait until his ex wives, mistresses and ex girlfriend’s he cheated on find out. They’re going to be livid. Still, at least he’s a good father. Unless you’re that illegitimate kid he has nothing to do with and denied the existence of for most of its life. Or one of the kids that’s disowned him.

The sycophants are trying to say Boris has to stay because he’s delivering his manifesto. Except freezing NI, freezing income tax, protecting the triple lock, taking back control of our borders, not putting a border in the Irish Sea between NI and the rest of the UK.

I think it's a measure of the man that he sees innocent women and children dying in a war as acceptable meat shields for his incompetence and law breaking.

I bet he was delighted when Putin invaded.

Probably hoping for the Queen to pop her clogs soon too.

Yes, but you don't need Sky, but do need food and do need to be able to heat your house.

I challenge anyone to watch this and say no one cares about parties, or we need to move on, or Johnson doesn't need to resign

And of course there are thousands and thousands of other similar heartbreaking stories

I think your missing my point there Otis,
Sky can't control the price of food or heating. They can however control the price of their product which hundreds of thousands of people are currently under contract with.
If they want to take the moral high ground why not reduce prices or better still allow people who are struggling to cancel their conracts.

It isn’t and it’s kind of irrelevant as Rigby isn’t Sky and has nothing to do with their pricing decisions

However most people who have sky will be tied into contracts so will have to suffer price increases or break contract.

Edit - Fatso beat me to it.

Let’s be honest there’s a lot of profiteering going on. Bailey was right to warn about risks of wage price spiral (although communicated it poorly) but he also should’ve said big business also needs to suck it up and try to swallow some of the inflation to help avoid this

Exactly that. Rigby isn't Sky.

If we are annoyed with Tesco, do we have a go at the girl on the tills?

The comment was that he should chin her (the c**t)

It's part of her job to hold Johnson and his useless and incompetent Government to account. She's doing her job, and considerably better than he is doing his.

They're already saying that Labour's plan for a windfall tax wouldn't work, but the Conservative's version is wonderful.

Imagine putting in place a policy to help the worst off in society not because you want to, or because you feel like helping those in need, but because you need to cover for the Prime Minister's law breaking.

How much power do you think Beth Rigby has in setting Sky prices?

And I seriously doubt many struggling families are springing for Sky. Most I know don’t even have a TV licence.

Also everyone who said Partygate didn't matter was wrong as it's finally got the tories to take some action to help the people of this country with the cost of living crisis. Even if it is just to deflect from for it.

Rory Stewart is right, we can’t have a government not focussed on the significant issues we as a country are facing…and that’s what the Tory MPs should be considering. I personally think Johnson should try to put this to bed himself (as he wont resign) and call a confidence vote…I won’t hold my breath though

They were always going to take more action. Sunak had said he wanted to know what the energy cap might rise to in Oct first. The timing of the announcement is embarrassingly transparent though !

He definitely won’t resign, I think he’s too coward to call a confidence vote. I don’t think he’s confident he could win one.
