[Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

[JBizzle]

If it’s the interview this morning on the BBC then it wasn’t exactly weakening. He was constantly pressed with multiple repetitive questioning. He only said what he said when asked effectively whether he agreed with the Ministerial Code which states that the consequence of lying to Parliament is resignation. I’m sure Raab thinks he is helping but every time one of them appears on tv it all gets a little worse.

This is the same Dominic Raab who said on television after Brexit that he wasn't aware of what a significant port Dover is for the UK, right? Let's not be too surprised that he comes across on TV as a complete tool.

"I hadn’t quite understood the full extent of this, but if you look at the UK and look at how we trade in goods, we are particularly reliant on the Dover-Calais crossing"

This is getting spicy.

Cummings has said he warned Johnson this was a rule-breaking party (rich coming from him, of course) and Johnson has now categorically denied ever hearing such warning.

Setting us up nicely for a new dollop of evidence to the contrary.

 

[Curious Orange]

Raabs come out and said he should go if lied to Parliament.

Some of the backing is weakening

That'll be the Radio 4 interview this morning? His response was more nuanced than that, in that he was at pains to keep what the ministerial code says as a separate topic from any pre-judgement of what the Civil Service report says. But yes he agreed that if a Prime Minister had lied to Parliament he would expect them to resign.

Well how was he supposed to know, he had other things on his mind. He was busy being Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union at the time, why would he know about trade links

 

[Springal]

So the man who stood on TV every day and told us what was / was not allowed - is now saying no-one told him this party went against the rules. Riiiiight

I see the Boris the Liar has started wearing a mask again.

This is a great strategy because he has the habit of smirking or grinning as he lies. The mask wearing is a great cover-up for him.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

How can you not know the rules that YOU personally have set? What's more amazing is how many people actually believe him!

Johnson is so full of shite it's untrue.

Couldn't this just read "talking"?

Boris Johnson has "categorically" denied he was warned a drinks party in the No 10 garden risked breaking lockdown rules.

"Nobody warned me that it was against the rules," the prime minister said, adding: "I would have remembered that."

Sorry Boris old chap, the fact no-one warned you is irrelevant. They're YOUR F***ING RULES.

It's strange he has thrown in the the "can't remember" caveat, similar to when he said that he "didn't see the email".

Laughable isn’t it. He is apparently so stupid that it didn’t occur to him that it was against the law to have a drinks party. ****ing embarrassing considering that he is the leader of our country.

So when we were all working from home and he saw tens of people holding wine glasses in his garden he didn't realise that gathering was in contravention on his own rule of meeting outdoors with only 1 person from outside your household?

To be fair to Johnson, it's not like he was in a position to kick back and watch those PM press conferences during the lockdown. Admittedly it's because he was giving them, but still I expect he'd try and use that defence himself.

Yup. A senior cabinet minister stropping off of a TV interview is just what we need. What pathetic behaviour.

I'm sure it must have been some kind of oven related incident as he clearly couldn't stand the heat in that kitchen.

That is quality, absolute quality.

Plus, having three the main stars of a very popular BBC show will enrage the tossers who want to destroy it.

I’ve not seen this before but it’s by far the best take on the situation and won’t be beaten.

Whoops, butterfingers, wrong thread.
Oh well I will post it here anyway.
Big shout out to our PM with some cool Jazz Funk.
