Boris Johnson did not deny the bombshell report that he and wife Carrie wanted to construct a tree-top hideaway for son Wilfred - to be funded by the same donor tapped up for the refurb of his Downing Street flat

"Gutter journalism, dripping with sexism, passive aggression, and snobbery."

The Telegraph plumbing new depths. They really want people (women) to stay in their lane don't they?

This a good example of why it is so important to them to be able identify what a woman is.

Shall we copy and paste it everytime someone goes, but Boris knows what a woman is?

I think that would be helpful 😉

I think @Notonthestairs wins the prize for the best response to those that claim that at least the Conservatives still know what a woman is, in justification for their deluded continued support....

The Conservative mask of knowing what a woman is (for).

Weren't at one time women (sorry girls) the ones which were keeping the Tories in power? They won't if they carry on like that.

I think it's hilarious seeing the Tories (like Braverman) getting their knickers in a twist about a supposed pact between Labour and the LibDems. No one was denied the chance of voting LibDem in Wakefield, or Labour in Tiverton and Honiton. Unlike the last election when Farage stood his Brexit loons down in many Tory seats.

Then of course May had the stitch up with the DUP which no-one in Great Britain could have voted for, even in the unlikely event that they wanted to!

They really do have short memories some of these Tories. They sometimes forget that the electorate don't always have the same short memories.

Yeah although not for ages now. I think it was the 80s or 90s when that changed?

They really are getting upset about tactical voting. You can't force someone to vote for a particular party and you can't tell a party they have to stand or campaign hard in an area.

Maybe they are just going to change the law so only the Conservative party can stand in an election?

Quick reminder

2010 Conservatives formed a ConDem coalition Government with Lib Dems

2017 Conservatives did a £1bn Bung Parliament deal for DUP votes

2019 Conservatives benefited from Farage’s Brexit Party withdrawing in all Tory seats

And two of those were done after the fact

It is a good sign.
They know they are up the creek and have lost the paddle, but they have no idea how to get out, so thrash around insulting the electorate.

You have to wonder what don't they understand about democracy.

Slagging people off for allegedly tactical voting is all they've got

Makes you wonder if all this is a hint that the next thing they change is voting and elections.

After all - if they don't like the result of decisions they do just change it

Boris Johnson,...
666

This is what I saw when I clicked on this thread!
The number of the beast...

Especially after blaming Labour for the rail strikes didn't work

Although Johnson did say the Rwanda plan was David Blunkett's idea....

"It is a good sign.
They know they are up the creek and have lost the paddle, but they have no idea how to get out, so thrash around insulting the electorate."

Agree. They are thrashing around rather than look at what is obvious to everyone else.

Tangential link to the topic but DH met with an economics professor this week. They talked about forecasts but what was interesting was that the modelling is based on Johnson not doing anything "daft" (not my word) like tax cuts or a GE. It's made me feel very uneasy.
I think he'd bring the whole house down rather than accept defeat - and there isn't the backbone in the Cabinet to stop him.

Saw this on twitter

"Bozymandias, king of the world."

Absolutely we should.

I would dearly LOVE to know which MP said '"I don’t know why the girls had to speak out like that” regarding the tractor porn.

What clear evidence this is of the attitudes and opinions of those in power. I'm not surprised, but I am disgusted.

Michael Fabricant has been very busy with journalists lately, defending the indefensible as it were.

Oh, has the Fabricator been out on manoeuvres today? Any chance of sharing a link in a Clav like fashion?

Johnson plans to stay until 2030..www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/boris-johnson-says-wants-third-27327549
