Hopefully everyone will just ignore him and laugh at him now.
Problem is they won't, they'll do the same as has happened with some other people and not be able to resist poking the subject and finding new ways to have a go.

The constant exposure will sustain him in a way he couldn't manage on his own.
Johnson has friends in the media that will always keep him with constant exposure if he so wishes.

It really doesn't matter what anyone else does.
Well it looks like he has a Daily Mail column starting tomorrow... I wonder if it's the slot briefly occupied by Nadine - Another job he's lost her?

Could be worse the SNP could be running the country. Labour completely unproven looking at Wales and the NHS doesn’t look a good starting point or Khan and the way he runs London. Starmer has made so many u turns I can’t recall what any of the agreed Labour policies are but go ahead name some. I’m interested
I think that they've pledged to raise the standards of grammar and punctuation.

At the end of the day, regardless of where anyone sits on Johnson, or the committee, this is just ridiculous.

This nation is facing imminent crises on various fronts, not least an economic crisis that will be affecting people. Need to move on and get dealing with real issues that are facing us collectively.

It's beyond pathetic.
Agree
100% agree. The committee has completed its job and the results are clear as they can be.... Time to move on.

The Tony Blair SNP/Labour/Khan/Starmer squirrel thread is thataway ------>

Feel free to discuss things not related to "Boris being a big fibber who got caught and is now crying like a boy who's just visited the headmasters study" over there please.

Will I ever get bored of posting this in response to your whatabout-squirrel posts? Let's see...

Post as much as you like same as I will. Comparisons always good. Labour has its fair share of those not fit to hold office.

I'm happily imagining the Tory tears from the posters saying what about Blair et al.

I trust you are all using wipe clean keyboards?

When you dry your tears perhaps consider that it is YOU who are one of the victims too. Along with the rest of us. The billions lost to COVID fraud, the thousands of excess deaths, the economic brickbat of Brexit, the millions wasted on vanity projects and handouts to mates.

Yeah, but Corbyn hehe

Two wrongs still don't make a right. Comparisons certainly not always good, can be skewed, misleading, biased, unfair, etc ...

Agree
If we had a competent government, one that was not riven with in fighting, elected the most useless Prime Minister in living history, who in turn appointed an equally useless Chancellor and Parliamentary time was not wasted dealing with the damage caused by a bloated chancer, then we might be able to deal with those issues more effectively and competently.

Whilst I accept a number of problems are more existential and outwith the control of the UK government, a great of this clusterfk sits squarely with the Conservatives.

Fabricant can't have been much help to Johnson.

I assume that Johnson just recommended some of these ludicrous people for honours as a "fk-you" to parliament and the nation.
It's because they have the same hairdresser.

Have you really got nothing better than that?

Why post? It’s embarrassing surely, trying to defend him at this point? Most of the Boris Ultras are quietly pretending they aren’t watching this thread any more but yet you still feel obliged to come out in defence. It’s weirdly interesting.

Yes, its clear as day objectively checking the evidence he lied. Sure, other Labour people have too, but that is not the issue here and deflection style political commentary, well, we should be above that sort of nonsense.

Boris has for years, lied, cheated and generally thrown anyone, anyone, under a bus to save his own skin every time his own lies caught up with him. His behaviour in literally abusing and bullying the inquiry in full view of the country, again its undeniable.

The Guardian said:
Boris Johnson’s attitude towards the rules is continuing in his usual manner, if this morning’s reports (see 9.24am) that he is to join the Daily Mail as its “erudite new columnist” said to be on a “very high six-figure sum” are accurate.

Until September 2024, Johnson is required under government rules to seek advice from the advisory committee on business appointments (Acoba) before taking up any new roles. But this morning, Acoba told the Guardian that they have not received an application from the former prime minister and will be writing to him on the matter.
