I was thinking just that. What possible whataboutery will we be subjected to?

That statement. Layers of lies and distortions.

Bloody hell! Just back from my dog walk, I said it would be one of those days!!!

BREAKING

Boris Johnson is unlikely to be the Tory candidate for Mid-Bedfordshire despite his close ally Nadine Dorries standing down

CCHQ is thought to favour a local candidate

I bet they do.

They might as well put it straight on Dave.

Sunak though. Nothing goes right for him as PM. (Apart from the money he’s making)

Thinks he’s avoided two by elections this morning. And then this happens. 😂

😂

Tories falling left right and centre?? Election for summer? One can really hope!

Michael Fabricant doubling down on the Johnson Delusion with a statement saying Boris Johnson made world history with Brexit

I don't like Fabricant , but he is loyal mate isn't he? You could never give him the title ' fair weather friend ' ever !
He'll go down with you

👀

True

That was in reply to @the80sweregreat

Imagine if it all came tumbling down, bloody fabulous!

Been watching him on BBC News. Very excitable.

Well this is quite the night!

Bloody hell, I go and sit on a beach for one flipping day and all he'll breaks loose!

Johnsons honours list is a joke and demeans the house of Lords.

Having strong memories of when Thatcher realised she couldn't contest the leadership challenge any longer. Similar weird feverish air. Although heavy feeling of the damage already done.

Boris has a new (very nice) Manor House in Oxfordshire and the persistent suggestions he may wish to reappear as MP for Henley (his old seat) do not go away.

Yep

"Biggest majority in almost half a century "

In what world...?

Chris Bryant

NB a privileges report can be into conduct of a former or non member. So the idea he’d stand in another seat is for the birds. He’d just be suspended again.

Look I'm actually wondering if I'm going crazy here.

1983?
1997?

Following

Well what a day it has been.

Both Boris and Trump throwing their toys of their prams and claiming they've been stitched up.

Sometimes the truth really is stranger than fiction 😁
