Former postman

Have they thought about cancelling their Netflix and gym membership?

Mid nineties bro. My parents are in their 50s. I'm 34

The deposit me and my partner have, adjusted for inflation, would have bought 2 houses outright in our target area in the mid nineties. Today it is a 25% deposit for the same houses. Effectively, our purchasing power in comparison to my parents generation has been reduced by 87.5%

Krusty is smoking drugs. Me and my partner "can't afford" to buy a 3 bed semi in our area with a £100k deposit and two "average" full time jobs (postman + vet nurse) as house prices are over 18x average local salary. Although curiously, we can easily afford to pay our landlord's mortgage on the 3 bed semi that we DO live in. Morbid as it is, we are both now relying inheriting money from our grandparents to ever have any hope of owning our own house in the next decade. We need approximately a £250k deposit to buy an equivalent 3 bed semi, or even the one we live in from our elderly landlord. For perspective; Today's £250k would have been worth around £125k 30 years ago, more than double the average house price at the time, so I will take NO lectures from Krusty about how easy it is to buy a house.

There's absolutely no way out for Johnson now. He's locked on to go down in history as the worst Prime minister, possibly of all time.

Lol the rats are fleeing the sinking ship

The collapse of Johnson's government is an inevitability now. And as per his character, yet another woman pays the price for Johnson's transgressions in the resignation today of Mirza.

At least when Labour spent money, services and life in general improved. 12 years of the Conservatives and we're spending more money than ever even though services have been cut to the bone due to austerity, we have the highest debt burden ever, inflation is through the roof, waste, fraud and crony contracts are rife, more food banks than ever, poverty on the rise, fuel bills rising fast. All of this evidence that the Tories cannot run the country or the economy and boomers will still vote the Cons because, oh I dunno, the last Labour government left a joke note and that Ed Milliband looked a bit silly eating a sandwich. Peak England

Johnson was a one trick pony, that much is clear, though many MPs haven't spotted it yet ... They also ignore that according to polls, Johnson's trust rating with the public has collapsed. A situation that no prime minister has ever recovered from. Many Tories truly believe that Johnson walks on water and that he will somehow pull victory from the jaws of defeat. This is of course complete bunk. The Tories will get an absolute hiding in the May elections and THEN get rid of him. Of course events could dictate, perhaps a picture of Johnson with a glass of wine and a party hat surfaces and he's out on his ear sooner than later... The unpredictability makes it a very exciting time in politics in terms of pure entertainment value. Very bad for the country though.

Done

Ha ha Johnson is being asked questions about partygate at the UK-Ukraine press conference

I think their letter stands for the lifetime of the parliament or until such time they withdraw their letter.

Nadine's Interview with KGM is a classic. Drunk as a fart, lacking even a basic knowledge of Starmer's background yet has an absolute conviction that she is 100% correct in what she says and that Johnson is just the Greatest. She's not just fighting for Johnson's career, she is fighting for her own. Once Johnson goes, she will never have a job in government again. Deep down I think she knows this.

This has descended into complete farce.

It is paper thin and inadequate, BUT, what this update does make clear is that; * Parties happened * 12 out of the 16 parties are being investigated by the police * 1 of those parties happened in the prime ministers flat * There have been failures of standards in No.10 * There have been failures of leadership in No.10 * There has been abuse of alcohol in No.10 So we can infer from Grey's conclusions that Boris has at the very least, repeatedly lied to everyone and at worst, misled the house, it's now irrefutable, there in black and white. It's now up to conservative MPs to either get rid of Johnson, or decide that they are perfectly comfortable with being led by a rule-breaking Liar.

We are truly living in an end-stage capitalist dystopia.

The plan was a non-goer to begin with, the NHS is already short tens of thousands of staff, sacking tens of thousands more for not taking a vaccine that doesn't even protect you from catching or spreading the virus would have led to complete collapse and chaos. Rightly so, I'm sure the health secretary doesn't want to be labelled as the guy who destroyed the NHS, as much as he secretly would love to disassemble it and sell off to private interests.

This is an excellent summary

I almost forgot about this one, it's hard to keep up. Such is the mountain of lies and sleaze that follows Johnson around.

Don't believe it. That's how it gets you

Operation "save Boris" in full swing. Really, what do these Tories see in Alexander Johnson that they'd trash the entire reputation of the conservative party in order to save him? He's a pathological liar, an adulterer, a philanderer, an incompetent and a charlatan yet they are lining up to repeat his lies on TV all while Johnson's and the Tory party's ratings crash around them. Are they suffering from mass Stockholm syndrome?

Boris is f*cked.

The torrent will not stop until Johnson is gone. Tick tock.

This is all escalating very quickly, over a dozen MPs now accusing the government of blackmail, and William Wrag is talking to the police. This is all a very fitting end of what will become to be seen as the most distrusted and corrupt government of modern times. Tick tock
