These make John Major’s government look almost morally upstanding and left leaning.

TBF given what went before and since I think there is a good argument for saying that Major’s government was actually one of the most morally upstanding of the past fifty years (note: this is not a high standard).

The spivs (Aitken, Hamilton etc) all came in under Thatcher and even the sex scandals weren’t that crazy. We didn’t even know he was knocking off Edwina until years later, either.

If they’d not brought in uni fees, started the NHS internal market and botched rail privatisation like they did one could even say they were approaching competent.

What a disgrace, he looks beaten too. Normally he waffles back with a fair bit of bluster and confidence but this time he looked meek.

While you're getting pissed mate don't forget to say that the party was a 'work' party. lol

It's all a front mate, trying to con people into believing he's being contrite.

I'd take 10 years of John Mayor before I'd take 10 seconds of Boris Johnson

They aren't even doing the same job. One is a statesman and the other is an absolute twonk

Absolutely

He'll have been coached through all of this by a Malcolm Tucker-like figure

Cheers Alastair Campbell!

If you neck your Bacardi and bugger off after 25 minutes you'll be fine.

Ye wouldn't surprise me

Still can't believe he's going with the "I believe that the events in question were within the guidance and were within the rules"

That he didn’t know about and accidentally went to.

It's like that scene in Beverley Hills Cop where the guy breaks into the captains office and when the captain catches him he just exclaims "Wait, this isn't my office!" before scurrying away

Got done in ,good style there, looked a beaten man.
Can't see how he makes it back from that.
Horrible human being never mind Tory or PM

There will be enough gullible people out there in the general public and in the Tory party who will accept what he said and his apology mate who will circle the wagons around him.
