Boris stands down as MP with immediate effect

[sunnydaytoday0]

Just breaking now on BBC.

Same day as Nadine.

@Clavinova well she was wrong too- but hopefully this is people who approached her and who she passed on - they ALL need to understand due diligence and tendering and so do the bloody civil servants if these things were not checked out. God forbid any of them worked in private business dealing with 'goods'

Well explain it to me then

Speaking of frenzied hysteria, as Janiie was, I see Farage is talking about insurgency and "up to" 10 MPs ready to join (presumably) Refrom

'Well explain it to me then'

It's been explained! With a handy link to the article. Someone suggested Wheeler got him to back Brexit. That's it. That's the story. Jesus.

I think we know the answer to that.

Isn't she still on LOA from the Lords?

"Isn't she still on LOA from the Lords?"

I think she is on holiday. But I'm sure she is fully cooperating with the National Crime Agency.

@Janiie how do you know the previous poster was a he?

The OP is about someone called Boris Johnson, maybe you have heard of him. He is best known for having broken laws around parties that he himself introduced, and has now had to resign as a result of lying about said parties. Of note is that millions of children managed to survive without parties at the same time.
If you don't like discussing parties, I suggest avoiding threads about Big Dog.

When you have to split hairs like this, you betray your poverty of resources.

Ah ok, so basically a non story then, figures

This made me roar. Thank you, you hit the nail on the head!

I love 'cunch of bunts'. Bet I could get away with using it on FB too.

British Medical Association

That reminds me - last weekend's Guardian included criticism of the government's Covid response from the current president of the British Medical Association, Prof Martin McKee. What the article didn't mention was that Professor McKee was a founding member of Independent Sage;

Professor Martin McKee (May 2020 – Acting Chair Jan 2022 – March 2022)
https://www.independentsage.org/who-are-independent-sage/

Here is Professor McKee in January 2021 arguing that we should follow an elimination strategy like Wuhan;

The virus can be eliminated even after intense local transmission has occurred. Mainland China demonstrated this in Wuhan...
https://www.theguardian.com/world/commentisfree/2021/jan/28/all-countries-should-pursue-a-covid-19-elimination-strategy-here-are-16-reasons-why

Going swimmingly well in China now (not) - I can see Covid restrictions like Wuhan being a big-selling point next time (not).

Professor McKee is/was also an anti-Brexit campaigner - so how he thinks we could shut ourselves away for two years like New Zealand, whilst in the single market, is another question (the EU put pressure on Macron to re-open the border to lorry drivers coming from the UK in December 2020);

Of course not. Nothing is his fault. It's those pesky advisors telling him wrong. Or maybe it was KS or JC or the whole of the EU. But never BJ.

Well explain it to me then

Already explained - I'm getting ready to go out now anyway.

You often say things like that, Clav.

So you don't like to post from your phone like most other people, then?

Should we all have partied through covid like Boris did @Janiie ?

Please lets not list all the benefits of Brexit again.

It gets dull repeating the same posts..
To save anyone else the trouble I have summarised them below.

That is all of them.

Its hard to copy and paste from the spreadsheet of links on a phone.

I was referring Bozo, he has resigned/gone, do keep up.

Yet not one snap of a 'party' has emerged, just folk at work eating. We know some civil servants seemed to get pissed on a fri but as has been said on many other threads their managers should've sorted that out. Kids could indeed celebrate their birthdays, most of the time it was 6 people in the garden anyway. I'm sure a 5 yr old would've been happy with that. Did something happen to you as a child you seem very triggered by the kids birthday party thing. Didn't you ever have one?

'Kids managed to survive without parties' 🙄

You think Johnson did nothing wrong and didn't lie?

It's alright, we can party to our hearts content at Johnson's downfall and his destruction of the Tory Party.🍾💃🍾

So in your version of the world, Boris has been found to have lied about parties that he attended that did not exist and that is why he resigned.

If he genuinely believed that he had done no wrong, he would still be an MP, he would contest is innocence in parliament when it came to a vote and if that didn't work in an election if there was a recall petition.

So I think you are saying that Boris has done no wrong, but is frit.

That much was obvious. There are true Brexit believers, certainly, but his face the day after the referendum showed he wasn't one of them.

The decision was evidently made based on what he thought was most politically advantageous to him, and in fairness, he certainly pursued his own self interest efficiently there.

Oh, I see the script must have been finalised.
