His interview with Beth Rigby on sky news is pitiful.

Haven’t got Sky, what’s he saying?

Have not seen the interview either but this short clip tells you a lot

Oh I see Starmer has withdrawn inaccurate comments made yesterday at PMQs. Not so forensic afterall.

Would that we could expect to see the same honesty from our Prime Minister.

Ooh, he really is starting to regularly show his temper in public now (again with a woman). Is it too much to hope he has a public and damaging meltdown?

DuncinToffee · 21/04/2022 15:54

He is saying that he ran away to hide from Partygate so why doesn't Beth Rigby just get onto the subject of the trip
He did similar with male journalist a while back but not as aggressive, more jovial.

That’s really not a good look. He’s cracking.

To steal a quote from that Twitter thread ‘that’s the face of a man whose just committed murder and is wondering why no one is clearing it up for him’.

So Steve Baker's change of heart has been explained. Polling from yesterday shows his seat (Wycombe) going to Labour at next election.

I live where my partner works. That doesn't mean I am allowed to wander around the buildings as I fancy and the business doesn't deal with anything nearly as sensitive as presumably 10 Downing Street does. And if my friend or interior decorator was to wander about the offices I am pretty sure I know how long my partner would remain in the job.

When I was growing up my dad was the caretaker of the city centre health centre. We lived in a 3 bedroom flat above the centre. I don't remember my mum wandering randomly through the consulting rooms while everyone else was working. She's a right nosey mare so will be gutted to find out she could have and that that would have been fine.

Roussette · 21/04/2022 16:28

So yes I maybe wouldn't be surprised to find my neighbours workmen having a brew if we all shared one inconnecting building

Thanks for the laugh! AS IF!!!!!

So Sunak is having his kitchen sink unblocked and he wanders through the non existent connecting door to Johnson's gaff whilst Carrie is breastfeeding the baby to have a brew.
Yeah right....
Desperation and nonsense there Janiie

That Beth Rigby interview clip. He looks hot, irritable, annoyed and even though he's flown 5,000 miles, it hasn't gone away.
Good.

So agree with this statement. The Government can deal with more than one thing at once.
Conservative MP William Wragg on idea that the Ukraine war means PM should not be removed: “The invasion of a sovereign nation by a dictatorial aggressor should not be a reason why we should accept lower standards ourselves.”

Roussette · 21/04/2022 16:30

" So Sunak is having his kitchen sink unblocked and he wanders through the non existent connecting door to Johnson's gaff whilst Carrie is breastfeeding the baby to have a brew. "

The workman wanders through. Not Sunak. Obviously. 😁

littledrummergirl · 21/04/2022 16:30

Michael Ellis hasn't bothered listening to the debate, just turned up with a pre written statement.
You'd think he would have bothered to listen and respond to points that have already been made and not labour points that have been shown to be rubbish.
What a shower of shit.

'That’s really not a good look. He’s cracking.'

'To steal a quote from that Twitter thread ‘that’s the face of a man whose just committed murder and is wondering why no one is clearing it up for him’.

Once again how we see things differently. He is smiling and pleasant just probably impatient with Beth's attempts at interviewing.

DuncinToffee · 21/04/2022 16:36

They have to wander through with a cake in a tupperware box

DuncinToffee · 21/04/2022 16:37

Good one Janiie, keep digging

DuncinToffee · 21/04/2022 16:37

I'm not digging! the suggestion that he is 'cracking' when he just clearly cba with Rugby's ridiculous questions is a bit of a stretch.

Really? Really ?

Notonthestairs · 21/04/2022 16:43

I hope the decision by the police not to issue the FPN's until after May 5th is challenged. Surely there is an argument that by not taking action they are benefiting one party and are not therefore acting neutrally?

Cornettoninja · 21/04/2022 16:43

Cornettoninja · 21/04/2022 13:08

Who was that? Abstaining is ok if it allows the motion to pass, it just means someone isn’t prepared to go on record as voting against the PM’s interests but also won’t vote in their interests.

hey @JaniieJones, given your criticism of Statmers apology whats your take on this statement Boris has made repeatedly, including yesterday, despite being informed it’s wrong and misleading?

fullfact.org/economy/january-2022-boris-johnson-employment/

Oh and as you’re back @JaniieJones any opinion on the above after your comments on Starmer earlier?

DuncinToffee · 21/04/2022 16:44

Ellis was lying

Ellis claims the PM has “always” wanted the house to decide what happens to him, and that’s why today is a free vote.

It was a strict, three line whip until 20 minutes before the debate started.

Notonthestairs · 21/04/2022 16:44

Johnson doesn't like any questioning that closes down waffle. It worked once upon a time, not so much now.

Wow, it’s really getting to him, isn’t it? I bet he’s a bundle of laughs at home right now. I almost feel sorry for Carrie.

Notonthestairs · 21/04/2022 16:53

I've had a look through info on purdah and nothing seems to directly apply to the activity of the police or criminal investigations as far as I can see.

jgw1 · 21/04/2022 16:56

So both the Prime Minister and Chancellor would rather be in India than the UK.
Is the true of all the cabinet, or do they have plans to move to other countries?

I wonder where would have JRM.

Janiie is clearly inhabiting an alternative dimension to the rest of us.

Johnson was peevish and ill tempered with Beth Rigby. He also looks very out of shape and puffy-faced. Maybe he has been hammering the booze on a regular basis. Or has had one too many birthday cakes.
