Boris....going, going....GONE.

Why do we have this archaic honour system system ? It’s the 21st century.

I mean Philip Hammond is a lord.. why ? How does he deserve to be a lord on £300 a day for turning up? Does anyone else disagree with this ? !

Charlotte Owen at 29 years old? What was going on there?

Having watched Boris, the Lord and Russian Spies I'm relieved he's gone and good riddance. In my opinion he's been the most dodgy Prime Minister ever. Good on the Privileges Committee for condemning him and shame on the few MPs who supported him.

But he still have his mates knighthoods. I mean Priti Patel is a dame! Why? What use was she ?
Isn’t she meant to be an unpleasant individual too?

We need Tory members selecting candidates for the next election to never select BJ. He needs to be toast. For good. He lies. He’s not someone who follows procedure. He’s out for himself. What is very sad is that people still think that’s ok for our PM. It absolutely is not. Richi Sunak did a decent job curtailing some of these honours. The 29 year old should have been culled too though. Get rid of PMs honours. Reduce the House of Lords to experience snd expertise and then get “peers” voted in. Only way to go.

A little bit of realism here people! The PMs outgoing list is never about normal people. Just read a bit of history. As for all the bile and vitriol regarding Boris Johnson, your views are just that: Your Views and not God given woke beliefs. Other people have their own views and , God Forbid!! may disagree.!

Oh do stop it with the 'woke' mud slinging. You probably don't know the actual meaning of the word. Boring!

@Kiwano nice one!!

Johnson is just a nightmare. He will not shut up.

God knows what happens when this ageing narcissist ceases to have the orbit of the Daily Mail and a few Brexit cultists.

Did you really? Care to tell us at exactly which point you walked out? Otherwise we might think that there is no way someone with your views paid for a ticket ...

Crikeyalmighty · 12/06/2023 12:05

@buffy2023 I really object to this constant use of the word 'woke' - used when anyone is a bit to the left of Jacob Rees Mogg etc. I loathe Boris Johnson and JRM etc- I'm not particularly 'woke' - in fact the lack of resilience in some people and the constantly getting offended at the slightest thing pees me off, Not voting Tory though or not liking the slant of the Daily Mail or Telegraph doesn't automatically make you 'woke' and that's how it's being used.

Looks like BoJo asked No10 to intervene over the resignation honours - the House of Lords Appointments Commission removed 8 names from the list (likely the fragrant Nadine was one of them) and BoJo asked the Rishi over-rule them. He declined.

Boris Johnson asked me to intervene in honours list, says Rishi Sunak

The prime minister says his predecessor asked him to nominate people despite a panel rejecting them.

They already are. There is a separate system for people who are honoured in service. This is a totally different system that is purely traditional and dates back hundreds of years. Mainly it is symbolic.

I get that but the chances of being honoured as a civilian is quite slim. It’s mainly senior police officers, senior military officers and civil servant senior managers.
Most care worker and people who volunteer for all their lives don’t often get honoured.

Why should people like Nick Clegg, Priti Patel and Jacob Rees Mogg be honoured? What have they really done to deserve it? It’s just the cronies of Prime Ministers getting a favour. Remember Gavin Williamson? What a useless incompetent excuse of an MP. Yet he’s a Sir.

Just because we have a political honours system we’ve had for hundreds of years doesn’t mean we have to carry on with it. It’s outdated and corrupt.

TheHandmaiden · 11/06/2023 21:57

His greatest fear is irrelevance and this is part of the long way down.

I'm sure his end of the pier act will please a diminishing section of the public who voted for him with a total acceptance that he was bloody liar.

Yes, apart from calling him “a gay”

I don’t pay too much attention to Politics Joe, they are a far left group. They post videos on YouTube with titles such as “Tory MP made to look a fool”.
Just left wing propaganda. They have a big following though.

Brilliant take on BoJo from Politics Joe

I hate his greasy, blubbery smirk when he's yet again got away with something. My personal wish is that he ends up doing this:

I think he will join the Reform party & hope to screw up the Tories as revenge.

It is quite enlightening listening to some beliefs but also quite frightening. if we all followed the ideal, there would be no ideal.

Hi all, unfortunately we have some concerns here so we're taking this down while we look behind the scenes.

There are people out there in society, helping people, all their lives, or even volunteering. People in working in care homes, the NHS, Police officers.
These people should be honoured. Not cronies from the government. It’s so corrupt and horrible it’s unreal..

Boris is now trying to bring down the Tories….this isn’t the last we’ve seen of him. He sees himself as a victim, the Conservative Party that got rid of him.
More of his allies will resign I think , causing more by elections.

Boris will be back. What most political commentators and middle class luvvies forget is that he is very popular with an awful lot of so called "lower" class. i.e,. people who mattter. Boris will come back. No doubt,
