Seems to me that the Conservatives are now taking a massive risk by keeping Boris in No 10. Replacing him next Spring will be to late to embellish the Conservatives to the electorate, save the dyed in wool Conservatives. Cant see the ‘Red Wall’ continuing to vote for a Conservative Government next time around. The money pot is far to empty to be able to bribe them with the level up promises.
Then looking at Labour, I just could’nt bring myself to vote for them, the Shadow front bench is even worse then the current cabinet.

I'll call it now for a hung parliament next time around. Which will probably be even worse for the the country in the long term as it could result in 4 years of being able to decide nothing about nothing.

People said the CON/LIB coalition would be a disaster but I really miss those days given the clusterfk of a government we currently have.

Anyone in the mood for a nauseating spectacle, check the news footage of the Chancellor announcing his windfall tax ut-urn (sorry carefully planned and not coincidentally timed energy profit levy), with BJ by his side laughing and guffawing like a naughty schoolboy thats got away with detention from the head master. The humility has lasted about 1 minute.

A dose of reality that all this pointless moaning will force him out of office?

He’ll do that himself

Nice to see the Grrrr Boris brigade are still more frothy than a frothy thing from frothville.

Honestly, give it a rest. We get it, you don’t like Boris. But as much as you whine and whinge and make useless platitudes such as “The U.K. is diminished on the world stage because of Boris”, you ain’t going to get rid of him. You can have your say in 2024.

This is a thread discussing Boris Johnson on a forum, what do you expect?

I am not sure you understand the point of a forum. Nobody complaining here about boris’s behaviour on here assume it will force him out of office. It’s a forum - people are sharing their opinions.

The Con-Lib coalition that spawned the Brexit vote, that split the country in 2 and has led to 6 years of whining?

fking hell, those are some rose tinted spectacles.

Boris IS the product of a political class that so badly misread or misunderstands the electorate why should any if them be held up as bastions of virtue?

Cakegate is par for the course.

Edit to add....

For those getting cute on the dates, the referendum legislation dates back to 2013, it wasn't cooked up in 13 months. Had the government coalition and rest of parliament not played silly buggers with abstaining etc - we might have had a clearer idea of the clusterfk that followed.

Bandit might see this as pointless moaning but a very many of us suffered significant losses due to boris johnsons actions and will not be quick to forget. That some can't see that is rather enlightening to how blinkered folks can be in their support of the fool. I have zero respect for any of the cabinet, and that won't change any time soon.

'his' windfall tax? The same one that was widely castigated when Labour suggested it? That one? It really is farcical, the whole lot of them

when ed milliband suggested an energy price cap, years ago, they scoffed that he was a Communist for even thinking such a thing. This lot open their mouths and let their arses blow.

I was really referring to his u-turn, not the tax - sorry levy - itself.
As it appears to turn out, 91% of the levy will be able to be offset against environmentally friendly investment by energy companies, so the handouts will really be funded almost entriely by public spending, not the levies. Which again begs the question why now, and not earlier. Answers on a postcard.

Quite impressed by Tobias Ellwood's words during PMQ. Setting his stall out for a leadership bid?

He is one of the few with decent morals and that I would actually trust.

This Tobias Ellwood?

A Conservative MP has apologised after attending a "Christmas party" for 27 guests, but insisted the event was "fully COVID compliant"

https://news.sky.com/story/covid-19-conservative-m...

Which of his morals are you particularly impressed with?

Was that actually illegal under the rules at the time? The article suggests not, but the information I can find elsewhere is incredibly unhelpful.

Having read that article, I am not sure the people shouting Hypocrite have read the same one. I must be missing something. It did not read like it was an illegal gathering and was organised under tier 2 rules by a professional events company - and was not a bunch of people getting pissed up in an office. Optics - iffy I guess although business did need to continue during lockdown, but not illegal and not on the level of the shenanigans going on in number 10 and also appears to be a one-time thing, not a weekly piss-up and abuse of the staff? Not sure which morals are questionable from TE there?

You missed the bit where he said it was a work gathering but the organiser called it a xmas party...

Do you not have Xmas gatherings where you work then? I do, and often a lot of work discussions happen at them.

Sorry, sorry, I am doing it wrong..... HANG HIM!!!! HOW DARE HE GO TO A PERFECTLY LEGAL EVENT FOLLOWING ALL THE COVID RULES..... BOOOOOOOOOOOOO.........

I think the former Mrs Johnson & that Fat American Bint might call it Poetic Justice if true lol

[TriumphStag3.0V8]

The guy himself is a pratt, but spreading stuff like that crosses the line and says more about the type of individuals spreading it.

I wonder how his children claimed & otherwise feel about how he has lied & humiliated their mothers publicly....I guess as he doesn't appear to see lines himself why should anyone else when dealing with him... If she has gone he might ask her to pay back half the money back into that "Charity" for the wallpaper ?

Lovely Lad that Zak & so good looking...

Last year and the year before we didn't as Boris made it illegal...

And very little work gets discussed at them. You must be really funa t parties if that all people want to talk about with you.

Vote Tory get Labour with the handouts - mind you all the rich will still get the £400 guven and the rich pensioners another £300 so it’s not all bad!
