A thread to catalogue the eloquence, dignity, diplomacy and wisdom of Boris Johnson: V Gone-ish!

Oh, irony piles upon irony;

Kemi Badenoch on the left;

“They profess to be pro-women and pro-ethnic minorities, but if you don’t sign up to their cause, they’ll hate you even more than they do privileged white males.”

Kemi is offering muppet party members exactly what they want but without showing any hint of competence to back it up (so similar to Corbyn). That's why she's popular with your man Farage.

They should have stuck him in a high-G reverse loop until the cocaine-addled privileged gloop that passes as a brain flew out of his nose.

If you say so, Kirk.

Somebody needs to put in an FOI request for the cost of the custom-made flight suit. It surely cannot be a standard RAF fit!

Breaking in the Mirror! he's to be summoned to give evidence on oath https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/breaking-boris-johnson-summoned-give-27538222

Boris Johnson will be summoned to give evidence under oath on whether he lied over Partygate.

MPs today confirmed they will invite the Prime Minister for questioning just weeks after he resigns in disgrace on September 6.


And for the first time, Commons authorities confirmed the Prime Minister could face a by-election if he is found to have misled MPs.

The Privileges Committee, which is investigating whether the PM committed contempt of Parliament, released new details today.


For the first time the panel of seven MPs including four Tories confirmed: “The Committee will take oral evidence from Mr Johnson.

“At evidence sessions, Mr Johnson and any other witness may be accompanied by a legal or other adviser, and may take advice from them during the session, but must answer in person.”

I have a hunch Johnson will resign as an MP in the Autumn. He's not going to sit on the backbenches.

That's good on the face of it, but even if the evidence is there he'll get away with it. We're deep into the CHAOS now, where lying to Parliament has no consequences, and Liz Truss ends up being PM...

He'll also not want to risk humiliation at the ballot box, nor deselection by his constituency party which would also fear the same were he to stand there again.

Boris Johnson giving evidence under oath.....I can`t be the only one to see a fundamental flaw in that plan.....

 

[wacko]

I'm sure there are several paid appointments with no work Truss will give him.

You mean, Truss will provide support to a knob that is still hanging around?

If he takes the Chiltern hundreds before does he even have to turn up?

Johnstone has previously resigned he was appointed to Northstead in June 2008.

It’s the only way an MP can go.
They cannot resign.

Surely last week’s inferno must focus Conservative minds on the one real issue, the climate crisis – mustn’t it?

He reckons he can still stay PM.

Truss and Sunak better watch out for any nasty accidents...
