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

[WATFORD zero]

Let's face it. Once the independent enquiries started and actual facts started to come out, the current cabal were hardly going to turn it around where they ?

Despite the ever desperate hopes of one or two on this thread

The government have found Johnsons PIN!

Boris Johnson's old phone could soon be accessed by Covid inquiry

The former PM was not sure about the passcode, delaying access to his WhatsApps sent before May 2021.

What's the betting that the phone now mysteriously gets lost in transit from his lawyers?

Ha ha. Someone's grassed on him.

His lawyers will be major league so that sort of outcome is not possible.

"The pin code for our admissible evidence is inadmissible evidence, therefore any of the admissible evidence accessed through this inadmissible evidence is itself inadmissible evidence
Obviously, our client is happy to cooperate with the submission of any admissable evidence in the event that he remembers the admissable code to access it, but in the meantime the inaccessible admissable evidence is inadmissible while only accessible via an inadmissible code".

I suspect they’ll hand the phone over to Mr Johnson in order for him to hand it to the inquiry and then……

“The days and weeks after the birth of a child can be somewhat bewildering and difficult littered with memory loss and involuntary actions. I was walking across London bridge and reached into my pocket for my regular phone which was ringing but instead clasped hold of my old mobile which I was in the process of delivering to the inquiry. The shock of withdrawing the wrong handset from my pocket caused me to involuntarily fling my old mobile off the bridge and into the Thames, never to be found again. But all is not lost, I can recall most of the messages I sent on WhatsApp and will endeavour to write them on a notepad which I shall then swiftly deliver to the inquiry.”

Rishi Sunak will force universities to limit the number of students taking “low-value” degrees in England, a measure which is most likely to hit working class and black, Asian and minority ethnic applicants.

Courses will be capped that do not have a high proportion of graduates getting a professional job, going into postgraduate study or starting a business, the prime minister will announce on Monday.

Alternatively someone said:-

'have you tried his date of birth?'

They couldn't ask "date of your child's birth" - he probably can't remember that many birthdays!

Without doubt it is 0000. Or 1234.

'the number of children you've sporned?'

"Pfaff fffm hmmmbf pah - it's a ffffhh set up, trick question".

To be fair there might actually be some merit in this policy, although I don't know the fine details. Probably forcing universities to limit places isn't the right way to do it though. Subsidising places for the "value high" degrees would be a better policy.

I suspect there is only one birthday date he has ever memorised. No prises for guessing whose.

How is this still going on? The clowns in

I don’t know about his Corbyn stuff. And I largely agree with most of his opinions.
However, you are quite correct. He is one smug fucker. I can’t bear the man.

His interview podcast is terrible. You can tell he has one trick and that is to catch people out.
He interviews perfectly nice people as if he is trying to skewer them. He makes terrible assumptions and states them as fact and asks nothing but leading questions. Awful interviewer.

I'm no fan of his, but as for "making up things about Corbyn" he didn't even touch the surface.

I've read a few books about that era, some more balanced than others but all agree it was completely disfunctional behind the scenes.

I was expecting to read about a fight between the Blairite and Bennite type wings. However just like the far right in this country, the far left would rather argue between themselves first before starting on the other side. McDonnell and Corbyn didn't talk to each other for months and Corbyn (completely devoid of leadership skills) simply delegated any decision making.

Corbyn supporters are unable to separate ideology from ability. You need both to lead a country.

At the end of the day he was up against an anti EU pro Brexit machine. Corbyn had spent his entire political career wanting to leave the EU. He was shortly strengthened by an influx of young members wanting change, but wanting to remain. When the reality dropped, the Glastonbury crowd moved to a different tent.

I like O'Brien, he comes over arrogant because he doesn't tolerate conspiracy theorists or anyone who base their arguments or beliefs on opinions and can't back up their argument with facts or examples. He can be harsh when ridiculing them but they deserve it. There are too many people on talk shows and radio phone ins who talk complete crap and are never challenged then other people will consider it as truth. He even quit the BBC for these reasons as he rightly said at every question time there should be a fact checker.

His crusade to call out Brexit stupidity (He has been proved absolutely spot on with that) and holding this awful government to account has been first class.

The worst kind of presenter are people like Nick Ferrari: pretend not to understand the issue to appeal to idiots and propose simplistic solutions to comples issues and suggest people in the spotlight are stupid. And all the current tories go on his show cos they know they can spout their nonsense unchallenged. They won'i go on O'Briens show because he will own them

How many other political commentators are calling out government lies and corruption?

Johnson being the exception, all he did was jump on the bandwagon and had the weight of fleet street behind him
