Name one great political leader who never told a lie….

I cannot name one great political leader full stop.

Boris Johnson is making boring politics look attractive

All the chaos is putting voters in the mood for calm

Things are never dull around Boris Johnson. Since 2019 the prime minister has led the Conservatives to their biggest vote-share since 1979, shaken up politics, taken Britain out of the European Union, endured a pandemic, nearly died, had a child, struck a trade deal with the eu, got married, had another child, and seen his net approval rating swing from +40 to -51 after revelations about potentially illegal parties in 10 Downing Street. His repeated dishonesty—and a police investigation into the high jinks, launched on January 25th—make them the most damaging in a series of scandals. Others include scrounging £53,000 ($72,000) from donors to redecorate his residence and trying to prorogue Parliament illegally. If Napoleon was history on horseback, Mr Johnson is history on a pantomime horse.

“The Gray report is being edited in order not to implicate anyone in the face of the Met Police enquiry. Yes it will be published in full, but not the original full that was first submitted to Downing Street.”

Talk about controlling the narrative. I do wonder how these crooks get away with this, and worse this is what the public voted in!

Even the police investigation bit is bogus; as has repeatedly been said this will at most end up with a penalty notice (which they can appeal in a court, but good luck with that).

Pete you are literally repeating the words of the media here.

The media quote most of my posts TBF…..

Nah you don’t, you care about yourself.
You sound like you’ve been briefed like the rest of his cabinet minions.

No mate, I’m a socialist at heart but I discovered many years ago that ‘socialists’ can’t manage the economy….

I care about the U.K. and at the moment I’d rather the government carried on dealing with Covid, Brexit, Business, the Economy and support to the Ukraine, rather than navel gazing and reacting to media generated faux outrage over a birthday cake……

And the other TWELVE.

This is a farce. The Met investigating at the eleventh hour stinks. How can Sue Gray report prejudice their investigation when it can never go to a jury trial anyway?
