Id show Respect and courtesy as I’ve said to Corbyn McDonnell and Starmer. Booing heckling and screaming abuse says more than you than the individual it’s directed at

And mr Johnson would be box office at such events

Well given Mr Campbell was a serial bully a thug and implicated in the death of a decent man I really can’t be bothered to listen to him. He also has history with Johnson

Johnson absolutely floundering at the liaison committee.

Just admitted to meeting Lebedev without any officials recently. Oops.

Because whether you agree with their politics or not, Corbyn, McDonnell and Starmer are respectful people and so deserve respect.

Why does a lying charlatan, who cheated on his cancer stricken wife, and was happy to 'let the bodies pile high' deserve any respect whatsoever?

He doesn't.

The fact that you think he should be respected actually says more about you than it does me. Mmm tasty boots.

Johnson really isn’t very good when he doesn’t have his pals sitting with him. Just switched on to see him talking to the committee when he just tried to blame covid he was soon shot down.

Brady going to see him at six and tell him that he has enough letters to confirm that he won’t win a second vote of no confidence and enough support to change the rules and vote him out before recess. It’s over. The only question that remains is will Boris do it tonight or are they going to have to remove him from power. Either way it’s done.

On a side note Boris has just finally admitted that he did dump his security detail to party with a KGB agent. Got a feeling that a lot is going to come out once he’s gone that’s going to make him essentially an enemy of the state.

Again though you would show him respect as heckling and abusing says more about you than the individual

Campbell is a hideous character - vile - but he has achieved a lot in his life and is an extremely intelligent man

Compared to Campbell no - very few in modern politics would stand up against Campbell for that and he has shaped politics as it is now and not in a good way

So you do consider Johnson a hideous character - vile, then.

It's a start.

the Leader of the Opposition was a) perceived as an IRA and terrorist sympathiser, so lost a huge number of floating votes, and b) caught himself between wanting to leave the EU in actuality, and his party's preferred policy so came across as vague, insincere and bumbling (indeed, a magnified version of his main performances) c) said policy going more hardcore because they saw the Lib Dems polling well on their commitments to work out a deal to stay in the EU, so wanted a piece of that, therefore making their ownposition appear muddled and insincere, while also taking votes of the Lib Dems to neither party's advantage d) the opposition parties were unable to co-ordinate a policy through parliament due to them detesting the Leader of the Opposition, and said Leader being unwilling to compromise in any way to work out a deal with other parties, and e) a total lack of co-ordination across electoral seats, which saw opportunities lost and losses magnified.

Johnson did indeed offer an end to stalemate, and in that he has delivered as promised. Still, Starmer is committing to keeping the current deal, so that ought to please everybody.

Hes still maintaining he knew nothing about it when he appointed him.

Welsh secretary resigns after Boris Johnson sacks Michael Gove and refuses to quit – as it happened

Levelling up secretary had told PM to step down in face-to-face meeting as Simon Hart says it is too late to ‘turn the ship around’
www.theguardian.com


Q: Why was Pincher the first person into No 10 on reshuffle day. That suggests you wanted him as chief whip?

Johnson disputes that.

Q: Were concerns expressed about him?

Johnson says concerns were expressed after the appointment was made.

Johnson says he made the appointment. There was then a delay while a matter was cleared up. It was cleared up, and the appointment was announced.

Johnson will not give details. He says he was not told about it at the time. The complaint, “if it was true”, would have been a reason not to appoint Pincher, he says.

-------------

The complaint was upheld, I.e. it was agreed it was true. Now he's trying to make it it wasn't true. Fucking moron

Well he did bring us through covid better than the rest of Europe.
And Furlogh did help save countless jobs.
The loans to small businesses was a godsend.
Our Vaccine production and roll out was arguably the best in the world.
And unemployment is at record a low.
Oh, and he got brexit done. (Well almost done, if you look at ireland)
And we are the biggest EU contributer to the defence of the Ukraine.




"What have the Romans ever done for us?"



Although I have to say it is time for him to go.

This is how PMQs should be.

Serious questions demanding serious answers.

Not dodging questions while a load of twats bray and cheer and nothing actually gets answered.

That's your opinion. Brexit (or the effect of it,) won't be measured accurately for years yet.

As for Covid, the true death count varies depending on how countries recorded their figures, its a hotly debated issue which will take years to gain accuracy.
No doubt countless books will be written about it.
