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

[dazzer6666]

Is there such a thing as an honest politician?

Probably not, but a new scale has had to be built..............

 

[pb21]

What would have been the reaction if he'd missed the Questions to have the call ? He'd be equally slaughtered...............couldn't win with this one. I suspect Putin won't be immediately available even if Boris does call him.

Probably a good thing the call was cancelled. The bloke's unfit to do anything, let alone get involved in matters of potential international war

Statements like that really piss me off. Yes, most MPs are honest and want the best for their constituents: Tory, Labour or LibDem,

Johnson has taken mendacity to new levels but don't think everyone stoops to his level

 

[lawros left foot]

Is there such a thing as an honest politician?

Yes, I believe there is.

Not too long ago, if you lied in the HOC, you resigned.
Under Johnson’s premiership it appears to be an essential skill in the present Tory Party.

 

[Chicken Run]

Is there such a thing as an honest politician?

No probably not and Boris and his ridiculous parties should resign, and Carrie can go too!

One Teddy Maybank did not seem to think so though, mind you, its cold out today, maybe he had his scarf a little too tightly tied around his neck and cut some of his circulation off ?

Hold on….. only one opinion allowed alert…..

May was a lot more damaging….

 

[Gwylan]

I didn't call it a PMQ....

Er ...

Fair point - let him concentrate on cake issues......damage limitation

 

[dazzer6666]

Er ...

'PMQ' is very specific

 

[Lever]

Would it be fair to say that those who are broadly supportive of the Government (and by default Johnson) reckon there is probably no such thing as an honest politician? If so, that would make political sense to me.......

 

[WATFORD zero]

Is there such a thing as an honest politician?

Yes as pointed out in a post above, there are honest politicians in all parties.

Generally I think that individuals find it far easier to claim 'they are all the same' or 'it makes no difference' than to admit that they have done something really stupid (often repeatedly), had the penny finally drop and actually realised that they have cocked up badly with what they have done.

As pointed out in a different post above

 

[Audax]

Er ...

The PM is expected to answer questions in Parliament after making a statement such as the one made today. That's all that was said in what you quoted. I see no reference to PMQs.

Crossed wires, I think.

[MENTION=27279]dazzer6666[/MENTION] was saying that Johnson had to turn up and therefor cancel the call to Putin.

[MENTION=25]Gwylan[/MENTION] was pointing out that Johnson actually asked to turn up and make a statement at that time, which he could have done at any time of his choosing. (ie it wasn't PMQs which is a set day/time).

 

[Dick Head]

I’d urge everyone on this thread to read Sue Gray’s report and not to comment on anything until after the Met have concluded their police investigation.

 

[Baldseagull]

Is there such a thing as an honest politician?

Yes, but they don't get to the front benches very often.

 

[portslade seagull]

Proper oratory from Starmer, could hear a pin drop in the house. Struck the right tone, statesman-like. In stark contrast to Johnson's bluster and subject-dodging.

The longer the PM hangs on, the worse it is for the Tories in my view. He is fatally wounded.

Starmer was a little gobsmacked when he was reminded that he let Jimmy Saville escape prosecution by Boris. Never knew that kept it quiet

Incredible though it may seem



is still the 'longest running farce in London' apparently

You probably didn't know that because it's complete horseshit.

Fact Check-No evidence UK’s Keir Starmer was directly involved in failing to prosecute Jimmy Savile

He was gobsmacked that Johnson was caught lying again ?

Seems a little strange, are you sure you've got your facts right and aren't just repeating Johnson's lies
