Boris stands down as MP with immediate effect part 3

[DuncinToffee]

Tomorrow is the Commons vote on the Privileges Committee's findings that Boris Johnson deliberately misled Parliament over Downing Street parties during lockdown

The vote is a free vote rather than being whipped either way. Tories have been told that the vote will be a one-line whip, meaning they will not be obliged to participate.

Boris Johnson is believed to have advised his backers to not vote against it.

Michael Gove confirmed on live tv that he will abstain

Tobias Elwood has u-turned on abstaining after hearing stories from voters

Rishi Sunak, who knows

Just turned TV on. Has the Chamber been so empty throughout the discussion?

'Theresa May urges MPs to back the privileges committee report which she says would be a “small but important step” to restoring public trust in Parliament.'

Has anyone mentioned Bernard yet and how a small but important step to restoring public trust in Parliament would not to have someone on the impartial committee who allegedly attended a drinks do himself?

Has @Janiie worked out yet why they are defending the illegal birthday party of a known liar?

How does attending an illegal party make you impartial when judging lies repeatedly told to the House of Commons and the Commitee?

I don’t have chatgpt but it would be really interesting to ask it to write an article in the style of Boris in taking ozempic.

Oh I'll happily comment on the debate but I will also point out, yet again, if we frown upon Sir Korma mockery then you should also frown upon misogynistic 'bints' crap. Anyone agree? Noooo, no one will dare stick their heads over the parapet. Bints it is! Was she 'shrill' and 'hysterical' too @SerendipityJane ?

Lol

Sir Ian McKellen is in the House of Commons watching the debate on the Privileges Committee report through a pair of binoculars.

😂😂😂

Funny, but sadly true.

It’s from Monty Python And The Holy Grail. Michael Palin’s opinionated peasant pointing out the ludicrous basis on which King Arthur rules the land.

I don’t on the whole agree with Janiie, but I do in this case. I’m a staunch republican, but even I can recognise that Penny Mordaunt was absolutely not waving that sword around, and ‘bint’ really is a horribly offensive term.

Is Lia Nicki sure she read the same report as everyone else?

Oops missed SerendipityJane's funny reply about a microscope being a better instrument to look for decency in the HoC from my quote.

I don't care what it's from. We don't call women bints.

She was his private secretary and very much hitched to the Johnson wagon.

You have. Repeatedly.

Unfortunately there’s a lot of people trying to restore the trust issues created higher up the food chain than that.

You seem to be preoccupied with bailing out the sink rather than fixing broken washer.

Whoa, I agree with @Janiie on something!

But let's not forget that Mordaunt is voting in favour of the report which condemns her beloved Boris.

So Janiie, how do you feel about the latest revelations around the absolutely and definitely not a work do which is shown in the video and for which the invitation has now been shown? 10 Downing street partying away while the rest of us had nothing?

She was very good wasn't she in the face of all the faux outraged cat's bum faced opposition benches.

Ah, that good old pedestal of sanctimony providing you with some good distraction there again.

you sound like a school ma’am. ‘We don’t call people bints’, give over. Your eyes won’t drop out of your head reading language you don’t like.

She isn't a vote winner. That's not an option the Tories have available, don't get carried away.

Another deluded Boris Supporter Lia Nici says he did nothing wrong. The opposition benches can't stop laughing at what she is saying, the same for Jake Berry, another Boris bum sucker.

We don’t call women bints

<shrug> take it up with Cleese and Co. Not our problem if you don’t recognise satirical lines from 1970s satire.
I’d avoid Yes Minister too. People smoke on there

As you literally couldn’t write the nonsense the Tories are currently spouting and expect it not to have been written by Armando Iannucci I’m fine with the reference.

'So Janiie, how do you feel about the latest revelations around the absolutely and definitely not a work do which is shown in the video and for which the invitation has now been shown'

Show me one with ministers not an unelected bunch of folk and I'll join your pitchfork waving.

Bloody love Jess Phillips.

Sidestepping the issue of honours given to someone who organised the Jingle & Mingle.

Ah, I see. It's back to the 'well, Boris probably didn't know about it' defence. Honestly, the Boris Brigade have zero moral standards - both on here and in the Commons right now.

'you sound like a school ma’am. ‘We don’t call people bints’, give over. Your eyes won’t drop out of your head reading language you don’t like.'

The double standards ars staggering. You should apply for a job with Keith and Angie you'll fit in well. Oh no hang on we can't use silly names, just offensive ones like 'bint' .
