The enquiry only been going for a short time, lying through his teeth, saying he doesn’t remember things he said, lost the plot, his Tory ‘friend’ ripping him to shreds.

Much be watching a very different session to
Me then or a very different agenda. In my view he’s put up a robust defence and no sign of a knockout blow.

Farewell parties how many people attended farewell parties during Covid and with alcohol available, some couldn’t visit their elderly parents in homes to say ‘farewell and others couldn’t attend funerals and you’re defending him ?
He is lying through his back teeth like he always did, 25 to 40 people were having a party along from his flat and he never heard a thing !
He said it was perfectly normal to have alcohol at a farewell party, in my day it was a sacking offence for having alcohol on the premises,Johnson has a preferential memory and selective hearing.
If I was ever up for murder I would like you and others like you on the jury.

Well your pal shithouse Starmer & his manky cronies had a piss up in Durham & were caught doing it....but the disgusting lefty police chief decided 'not to take it further'....Oh...& Starmer said it was 'perfectly normal' to have a drinks party after a day of campaigning.....So to quote the language of your labour idols....absolute scum

I’m not going to re-debate what’s just been said for the last few hours but I feel that he’s done enough to escape this remainder ambush.

I’d like to know why the Starmer meeting was being held in Durham in the first place, because that was their base for the Hartlepool by election ….Hartlepool not good enough?

The wording of your comment sounds like you have been to a party or on the wine, Starmer is no pal of mine, I find him a very weak leader and don’t idolise the Labour Party. Campaigning can be classed as work, leaving party celebrations I don’t think so.
What’s all the ……. for, your finger get stuck on the full stop key ?

Like a naughty school boy caught with his hand in the sweet jar pleading with the Headmaster.

Whats this to do with Starmer or anything else? This guy is being questioned about lying to parliament.

Its history.
Vote REFORM.

Whoa, I hope your not serious, we do need credible opposition but one that has policies.

A grainy picture through a window of a bottle of beer is a piss up? A bottle of beer and a curry becomes a drinks party, no wonder the conservatives stick a disinterested Gill in at Hartlepool and she gets elected, can easily run the constituency from Raskelf. Boris will get off no problem lies come easily to him.

certainly no fan of johnson and could never stand the bloke even before he was pm. wish the whole thing would get done and dusted and we can concentrate on stuff that matters in our daily lives. covid rules, well lets hear from those who followed em strictly unlike many including me who twisted them to suit myself. its been found out now that most things brought in during that period were not that necessary anyway and how many deaths were there because of his actions at the party. so if he did lie to parliament he will certainly be in good company.

The media is still obsessed with Johnson - it's the one thing that unites left and right wing papers. Personally I couldn't care less what the Privileges Committee decides - he's got as much chance of a political comeback as Tony Blair.

Johnson was warned by his own side that he'd look like "a Pound Shop Nigel Farage" if he voted against Sunak's Northern Ireland deal with the EU. He did, and all of 21 other Tory MPs voted the same way. That's 21 out of 355

A bit of a humiliation for Johnson and his sycophant following. Let’s hope Sunak is a return to grown up politics.

not just obsessed with johnson but anything covid related that they will not drop or forget. wonder if there would be as much fuss if he was accused of lying on another subject.

"questioned about lying to parliament"

How about the people in the street, The people who keep the country turning over.

The person is a Liar full stop, There is nothing worse than a liar who wont hold his hands up.
An absolute disgrace.
He belongs to the growing list of Etonians, Who actually believe they are above the law.
Cameron is another one.

I think he handled the farce very well but it surprises me a little bit that the whole event, which was engineered by Labour, is chaired by a very prominent member of the Labour Party and a long standing Labour MP. I know it's tradition to have a chairman from the opposition but as the opposition tabled the investigation surely they should be exempt from chairing it.
If we are to accept these traditions we have to accept the tradition of having the PM thanking the departing staff as they leave Downing St and get away with it.
I can't see why anybody would deliberately set out to mislead Parliament in this day and age and expect to get away with it. Bojo can be tagged with a lot of things but stupidity isn't one of them.
The committee has one fatal flaw in its argument and that is that they all insisted that the issue by the Met of fines was living proof of law breaking but refused to acknowledge Bojo's claim that the fact that he only got one fine proved that he wasn't involved in any other covid law breaking. So why was he questioned on other events which had been ignored by the Met.
Let's not get away from the fact that he is accused of intentionally misleading Parliament and all the peripheral mumbo jumbo is clouding that accusation.
I have witnessed a few stitch ups in my lifetime but this one takes the biscuit.
I think hatred of Boris is taking precedent over reality.
Like I described it earlier, it's a farce.

"he's got as much chance of a political comeback as Tony Blair"

Who gives a flying about Johnson, The one major thing this country lacks (imho) is accountabilty.
without Accountabilty things just go from bad to worse.

People in high office repeatably being allowed to walk away, And thats why they do what they do.
No Accountabilty.

being lied to is just part of life so why do people expect a politician who are good at avoiding answering direct question be any better than a used car salesman or a football chairman. we are taken for mugs from the day we enter the world to the day we leave it. its up to us to find out the lies we are told and act on it.

I think it’s time for a benevolent Dictatorship, no more arguing in Parliament, because there won’t be one.
Jackboots optional …or maybe not……

Awww diddums, did someone not agree with your garbage, never mind, there there, as for 'parties' hands up if you didn't have plenty during shutdown with alcohol too, unlike the sheep behind the sofa hiding from 'the covid'
"Campaigning can be classed as work don't make me howl, ...does that include travelling 20 miles with a busload of your mates for an indian meal & a piss up?, come of it lefty, Oh & as for your......did your finger get stuck, are you just paying me the compliment of imitating me?....you are very welcome....& here are some free ones for you

I thought (wrongly) that we had adults on this forum - apparently not!

Touchy subject politics.

Sing would make a decent politician.
Certainly got all the credentials.

The problem is there are people who have a distinct political agenda and use this forum, relentlessly, to promote it.
Political opinion is generally provocative by nature and rankles with other people with opposing views.
Other people would argue that political discussion should be frowned upon because it usually causes bitterness, leading to an escalation of personal abuse, whilst achieving very little positivity.
There are plenty of adults in the room but the temptation to "pointscore" sometimes gets out of hand in certain individuals, who just simply can't control themselves.

I am happy to put myself forward for this role.

It's a football forum, and politics has no place on it.

Talking about liars, not politics.

Been on here 9 years and you haven't noticed?

This is a 'Talk about any old shite that you feel like' forum. You're not obliged to get involved with the ones you don't agree with

I have forwarded your request to the committee, although they’ll only say what they’re told to say, so we won’t need any of that daft old democracy stuff to sort your application out.
P.S. Er, how many tanks do you have, just interested….

Correct

politics indirectly has an affect on all our lives and subjects we discuss. politics aint just labour, tory and the other political parties. it affects football as well but not directly as the last few years has shown with covid regs, players kneeling and days put aside for stuff like her game too.

This a good watch, how Johnson and his pals appear to wanting to get rid of Sunak and voted against the The Windsor Agreement.
https://youtu.be/tgR0nzSrVK0

Glad we have that sorted. I have plenty of tanks my grandad helped raise money towards them one being called "Egbert".
My wingpersons (men) will be Liz Truss and Diane Abbott. That should scare a few of the buggers.

This is unacceptable! The Bunker has never allowed political discussion!

Or white dog shit or faggots.

Which bounder told you that???

Problem with banning politics is we would have nothing to laugh at.

The significant fact that comes across to me is that there are less than a couple of dozen of dissenters so, unless their number gets significantly larger, then Sunak isn't under much threat from within his Parliamentary party. The guy being interviewed called the band of 22 "nutters" but dubbed Sunak as truthful.
It's not so long ago since the rank and file in the Tory party were calling Sunak a backstabber. I wonder if they would agree with the description of Mr Truthful.
Maybe Mr I can update us on the current situation.
I think the stance of the DUP is more interesting in that I can't help giving consideration to the notion that they are simply refusing to acknowledge the Windsor agreement because they can't stomach the fact that Sinn Fein is the largest party in Stormont and they find it difficult to accept that. My source on that theory reckons that bigotry is still rampant and the lid that is being kept on the re emergence of bother is paper thin. I would like to think he is wrong but that is a little bit wishful thinking on my part. We surely can't go back to those days.

When this subject comes up on the telly. I turn it off and find some odd documentary about Gruntfuttocking…I’m easily pleased.

You do right Snowy.
I wouldn't normally have watched it but it's my job.
An overpaid journalist discussing honesty with a politician. Oh the irony.
Neither profession can lie straight in bed.

I can’t advise or update you. I can’t wait to see the likes of Sunak and Hunt get their arses handed to them on a plate. I won’t be voting for them and I don’t know many rank and file former tories that will. The next election will be a defeat on the level that Corbin suffered.

When the dust settles on BlowJob, Lets hope Hanncock gets dragged across the coals.

I have a suspicion that UKIP mk2 might do very well. Particularly in light of the ongoing ISIS military invasion at Dover.

Depends what you mean by 'very well." They haven't a hope in hell of getting an MP elected - just like the Kippers.

Have to say on the subject of lies, I never had any time for Maggie Thatcher and some of the things she did but I never doubted her personal honesty.

I watch Question Time the other night and they made a big thing of the audience straw poll. They were asked "do you believe Boris Johnson". They could have replaced BJ's name with any other politician and got the same answer.

Unfortunately I beleive it is paper thin, Sinn Fein still want a United Ireland and will never give up trying achieve it one way or another.
Public housing is overwhelmingly segregated between the two communities. Inter-communal tensions have forced substantial numbers of people to move from mixed areas into areas inhabited exclusively by one denomination, thus increasing the degree of polarisation and segregation.

You watched Question Time….. ……. Not what it was, rather like it’s audience.

just the same as whats been going on in this country for over 60 years but not due to religeon but for more obvious reasons. no matter what we are told people do not like mixing.

do not know which gets the larger numbers watching. question time or eastleighs away fan numbers.
