Ah yes the rather bold argument that they didn't expect the EU to actually implement the deal both parties signed up to.

He didn't give a shiny for those impact assessments. It was all about getting elected and then trashing the "oven ready deal".

As predicted.

Arrogance seeps from every pore. He doesn't think he should be held accountable for a single thing.

I wish Ed Miliband hadn't stood down after the 2015 election.

BJ really needs to adjust his facial expressions. If I didn't know any better I would imagine the journo was relating some funny lines from a comedy show and Johnson was about to burst out laughing.
As opposed to a very tenuous situation with the NI border and protocols.

Claudine thanks for that clip, I watched it again yesterday, I remember seeing it first time round.
Every Tory voter should watch. and maybe those on here could comment on what Milliband is saying.

It was clear even back then that Johnson gave not a toss about the detail.

That explains everything :-)

Have I fallen for a Poe's Law here?

I'm willing to bet that the closest he got to the impact assessment was using it to balance his cheese platter on.

"New: Understand writ will be moved tomorrow for both the Wakefield and Tiverton and Honiton by-elections and they're likely to be held on the same day - June 23."

"He is desperately trying not to smirk in that interview."

Or as JaniieJones would say" A patient smile while the interviewer asks ridiculous questions".

Ed Miliband, are you serious?! Even Angela was glancing at her watch.

Yes challenge and scrutinise the pm of course, but not with all the spitting and gurning. He needs some public speaking tips.

Wow. Criticising someone’s speech disorder now. 😞

Oh sorry I didn't realise he has a speech disorder. Apologies. What speech disorder?

Ed Miliband is a really decent man.

Surely if Boris Johnson did think that his Oven Ready Deal was good, he would have wanted the EU to keep to it? Proof to me that he signed in bad faith. I believe that it is a good deal for NI.

Agreed. Unfortunately the UK public don't value decent men and would rather go for lying, heartless criminals so long as they sound posh.

I thought it was only female interviewers of Boris that asked ridiculous questions, after all he knows what a woman is.

Do you know where I could find such a discussion?

if it’s SM you mean most people spend time talking about what they don’t like, so threads or comments like this one are there for Starmer, especially since beergate. Partygate obviously has been going for months so many off the back of that.

Lib Dems are doing better due to both but you won’t get many SM comments on that, people don’t tend to invest time in praising politicians, it’ll be more in the votes

The one you just mocked.

It's easier to make fun of someone rather than adressing what was said.

Look a squirrel

Break COVID legislation...break international treaties... illegally prorogue parliament... lie compulsively and copiously, to everyone up to and including parliament and the Queen...

This is a pattern of behaviour. This is who Johnson is. He will not change.
The rule of law matters. This is why we must get rid of him, and this is why the "it's just a bit of cake" argument is either cynical or myopic or both.

'Or as JaniieJones would say" A patient smile while the interviewer asks ridiculous questions"

I would say that yes. He is very patient and polite when 'reporters' are shouting repetitive questions and interrupting. Imagine if he went all Sturgeon and started tutting and eye rolling.

He has. He did it only a couple of weeks ago. Is the smirk standard Cabinet issue now?

So it's fine to lie when you do it with a smile Janiie?
