Only one I could think of.

He's probably writing an Op Ed for the Telegraph as I type.

Where? I can't find it.

Guto Harri on Johnson

Thanks @DuncinToffee

Thsi is interesting on why (hopefully) the Nat Cons will fail here:

That item on abortion is particularly reassuring.

John Burn Murdoch is always so good and clear. He was excellent during covid too.

Really interesting article. Quite reassuring in many ways. But it does make you wonder why elements of the Conservative party as SO keen to cosy up to the Republicans and their affiliates when they are demonstrably out of step with prevailing Uk thought - money? media?

Is Boris Johnson still an MP, does anyone know? He's on a USA tour, Vegas, meeting Republicans in Texas, meeting Mike Pompeo Trump's former Sec. of State and now the great man himself... Trump

He doesn't attend parliament, vote or represent his constituency...

And this is the man with multiple lawsuits pending and just been found guilty in a sexual assault case. Nice company BJ keeps....

It's a farce, he doesn't care, Sunak doesn't care.

but Keir had a beer and the pesky CS

yes I a still reading the SB thread

As my mother would have said " by their friends ye shall know them".

Birds of a feather.

Or lie down with dogs and you'll get fleas

Wise woman.

And I'm taking that one for future use.

Its a good job they don't apply the same standard to Ministers otherwise Braverman wouldn't be allowed to speak in Cabinet.

I think even a lot of cabinet ministers would be happy with Braverman not speaking. At all. Ever.

Johnson seriously rattled in this clip. Not him ruffling his hair up at the start, the twit.

"Note him"...need more caffeine!

Yes, saw this on Sky this morning. Hell, I really do not miss this bloke. He sounds exceedingly irritable.

He is not helping himself there.

Ha nice to see Johnson so uncomfortable with a few basic questions. Besides, if he is so confident no wrongdoing took place, why be so flustered about the details of his movements?
