Roman Roady Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 (edited) Christopher Hope from the Telegraph on Newsnight just now. Apparently they have details of another party in the PMs private office hosted by the PMs private secretary. The PM will be making a statement to the HoC before PMQ's tomorrow. Having seen the news and papers recently I give it a 20% chance he will go tomorrow, 80% by the EoW. EDIT:- Hope states he has heard of Video/Audio and photo files available of further partys.

reddog Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 To be honest, now Johnson has achieved his goal, I don't really understand why he wants to stick around. He doesn't seem to have any particular policy agenda, which is probably part of the problem. Surely he would be better off as a public speaker anyway, he doesn't seem to be able to afford being prime minister. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winkie Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 If he was my boss I would resign. BJ built the culture of doing what he liked, getting away with everything, everyone loves him........ he will stand by his staff they must stand by him........to the point that they had to go out into the media to justify and make excuses for his actions, even though we know they don't agree....PM questions will be interesting.

Totally agree, and as I said before I think he actually wants to go now as he is bored, broke and is totally out of his depth. There is no more money to throw at the next problem and thats the only way he knows to solve things. 4 minutes ago, winkie said: If he was my boss I would resign.

Wonder if anyone can justify resigning at this time? If they can it may be a good career move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does concern me is his total incompetance and the fact he does not have this country at heart. I would not employ him for any senior roll in my company. Come to think of it I would not employ him in any roll as he comes across as lazy, unreliable and untrustworthy. I guess you must feel like a right wally voting him in. You were warned.

MonsieurCopperCrutch Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 4 hours ago, dances with sheeple said: He is in a tricky position now, I don`t think he will survive this one, hundreds of people invited to "garden parties" when people couldn`t touch their dying loved ones is very very politically and personally damaging. I voted for them as well, because BJ made the correct call on Brexit, the call that the other parties just couldn`t quite bring themselves to make because they were too much under the spell of the EU Overlords. No doubt he would have jumped on the Remain horse if he thought that would win, but he read the mood right and didn`t do that, and that is all that counts really. Surprising that he could read the Brexit mood but couldn`t figure out that in the tech age an e-mail/photo/text etc etc etc was going to surface at a later date to damage him if he played loose with the Covid rules, he should have been hunkered down with his "bubble" getting on with the job and having a brandy when the cameras were off. Another wally. But of course he would never have lied to you about Brex_hit. 🤣🤡 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotblack42 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I don't care either way & I suspect I'm in the majority. The only reason Boris' behaviour & competency crosses my consciousness is seeing the interminable posts on interminable threads made by a handful of people still holding to the hurt they feel about being on the losing side of the Brexit referendum, and the BBC which is rammed with remainers, banging on about it. If you feel passionately about something it doesn't follow that most other people give a monkey's. You & I know that the general public will forget about these misdemeanours quickly when the media moves on. For example, Cummings was in terrible trouble. Its all gone quiet. He'll be back & most people won't remember why he shouldn't be. It is the way of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care about political intrigue though. Caring wouldn't make a a difference, I'm not going to get involved in politics, most don't. Boris is just a figure head. We've never had a PM who is both ethical and effective. Let it go. If he is hounded out, he'll be back in some capacity. I found this: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/rebound-politicians-bounce-back-sex-scandals/story?id=18871004 I could only scan through it - too depressing to read properly.

miguel Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Of course he will be back. Got to get his narc supply from somewhere. Happily for him there's always gullible Spyguy types ready and willing to serve. Even after the narc does the discard the poor souls are still obsessed, besotted with them. Their addiction can last years, sometimes decades! I think there will be more party allegations. It's just part of the Tworwy boy culture. Have a jolly good piss up whilst you've locked down the rest of the country. That way you can thoroughly bask in just how important and superior you are.

clarkey Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 To be honest the restrictions were nonsense and went on for far too long. 3 weeks to crush the curve! Boris thought it was low risk and it probably was but you can’t spout off on the tv and then not follow the rules . Should have reduced restrictions for all before having garden parties Police were arresting 2 people having coffee ffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming the veracity of this story is an open secret within government, the top tory in Scotland, Douglas Ross, plunged another dagger in Caesar's back yesterday. He openly stated that any law-breaking would make the PM's position untenable. He also said Boris should fess up now, no hiding behind an enquiry. Of course, he has to face Sturgeon at FMQ's in Holyrood, and I've no doubt he is mightily fed up of her telling him that "the WM government does worse than the SG, so eff off"! The bit that gives me pause for thought. Boris will keep shtum, "enquiry, enquiry, enquiry", until they can delay that report no longer (or until it becomes a police investigation, which will take us into 2023!). By that time, as has been mentioned, with good Covid news, and Truss taking the fall for the Brexit fallout, this will be seen as chicken feed. Nobody will care, keep calm and carry on Boris....

MonsieurCopperCrutch Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 The story that keeps on giving: Downing Street party: No10 cleaners lodged a complaint over state of garden after ‘BYOB’ party The Government is continuing to remain silent on the latest party allegations, and failed to put a minister on the morning media round today January 12, 2022 7:53 am (Updated January 12, 2022 9:22 am) The No10 garden was left in a state after the lockdown drinks party in May 2020 and staff who had to clean it up lodged a complaint, it has been reported. About 40 Downing Street officials were said to have attended the social gathering in the No 10 garden, where tables were lined with gin, rosé, red wine and white wine, the Times reports.

Social Justice League Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Boris and the current cabinet are going to destroy what's left of the Tory party. I'm happy of course and even real Tories are now seeing what a massive mistake it was ever letting BJ anywhere near No. 10. As others have said, why the feck is BJ 'hanging on' in the job?
