My goodness I have never seen such excuses for anybody as I have seen for Dories as I see from Jannie. Surely it is in all our best interests to have competent people in charge? Dorries isn't!
The w@@ky tractor and the general disregard and downgrading is due to who we have at the helm!!
Jonathon Gillis is another of this level of downgrade in my opinion 🙁

I think it is great that @JaniieJones is so generous with their time posting on here. I look forward each day to hearing the reasons why they support the latest Tory sleazebucket.

I have to admit, it's scraping the barrel even for the Tories when they have to try to show that 'Sir Starmer' broke lockdown laws by dining with the dead. I think that would count as a miracle rather than law breaking.

I think the tories forget quite often that the internet exists and old school tactics that used to be very effective at rewriting history aren’t quite as watertight anymore.

they still get away with it quite often but I don’t think they’ve clocked that’s less their own sophisticated tactics and more public apathy.

Durham police with their labour PCC found no law had been broken

If Durham police are so left leaning it’s a bit odd that they didn’t prosecute Cummings when he admitted breaking Covid law, isn’t it?

But Cummings has been to Moscow so is a Communist.

Also, did you know that Sir Starmer had a beer and owns a field?

Of course. Silly, silly me.

The level of silly on this thread really is something else, and I for one believe it is all Sir Starmer's fault for having a meal in lockdown with someone who died before lockdown.

Show quote history

You have surpassed yourself jgw1 😂

You're forgetting that Frank Dobson must have also broken the rules. I wonder where the police will send his fine?
Also, what happens if he doesn't pay it promptly? Do we see him in court?

Ffs this has gone beyond ridiculous.

Well I for one certainly hope that we see Sir Starmer, Mr Dobson and but Jeremy Corbyn in the dock soon for all the crimes they haven't committed.

I now know how desperate the Tories are.

Johnson is about to be interviewed on GMB in about ten minutes time. This is the first interview on ITV for about five years

And he's doing his Churchillian moment addressing the Ukrainian parliament.

Timing is everything when you know local elections are not going well. Hmm

The bollocks the Fail and Dorries are talking about it being a "stock image".

a) The Mail did not state this originally (plenty of screenshots) and only added that wording after it got called out.

b) We all know what a stock image is. That photo is not one.

It is so dishonest, the intention was clear.

#growlergate is trending again on Twitter.

The Tories are just pathetic. They can't even find a decent smear to exploit.

Did anyone listen to Rachel Johnson on LBC last night? I know Call-Me-Churchill is her brother, but she is deluded. She waffled on about how they have were both brought up to be decent and kind and why oh why is every one so nasty to her brother. One woman rang in and said PMQs makes her cry because Starmer is so horrid to poor little Johnson. It was bizarre.

Phew. That was a bit of a rant!

ClaudineClare · 03/05/2022 08:20

Roussette my predictions are waffle vaccines waffle Ukraine.

I wonder if he will mention Durhamgate and Angela's Legs. He will need the to be very careful if he does.

Piggywaspushed · 03/05/2022 08:40

Susannah should test him on where Durham is.

DuncinToffee · 03/05/2022 08:55

I see the attacks on Susannah Reid have begun, Johnson struggling by any chance?

ClaudineClare · 03/05/2022 09:04

I am watching slightly behind in real time but she is not letting him waffle. When he does, she just cuts in and talks over him. She also is trying to not let him get away with trotting out the usual spiel.

ClaudineClare · 03/05/2022 09:18

Johnson will not be happy. Reid did not allow him to waffle and bluster. The Tory bots on Twitter are very cross.😄

Well how very dare a woman be so rude to Big Dog. He does after all know what a woman is and what their place is = serving his needs.

ClaudineClare · 03/05/2022 09:24

Nads will be wanting to "privatise" ITV after that interview!

newnamethanks · 03/05/2022 09:27

Apparently, Susanna was "rude". I think that means 'not deferential enough to our great Prime Minister who is concentrating on channelling Churchill today and she's had the temerity to interrupt his flow by asking questions and expecting answers'. Tsk. Can't get the staff.

DuncinToffee · 03/05/2022 09:29

The man spread didn't put her off then Wink

Just seen the clip with the question about Elsie, I introduced the 24h freedom pass

But we all see the interview differently...

ClaudineClare · 03/05/2022 09:31

If he had just answered questions properly instead of blustering and waffling, she would not have had to cut in and talk over him.

He looked very rattled by the end.

ClaudineClare · 03/05/2022 09:34

The Mail is probably frantically digging for dirt on Reid right now.
