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

It was Shaun Baileys name on the invitation!
But you are right he was unelected. 😀

No you wouldn’t. You’ve done this before - set conditions then when they’re met decided imaginary forces are at work. Bit like the three legged donkey you insist on backing.

Well if the pot plants assured him was alright, who are we to argue?

Was Sir Korma advising him? Who knew.

@Janiie are you saying that Boris Johnson wasn't Minister for Pot Plants at the time of his illegal birthday party that he subsequently lied about 3 years ago?

I have laboured under the impression all this time that he was.

You’ve quite literally (the traditional definition) displayed your own hypocrisy by trying to police language because you think it elevates your position.

It doesn’t.

Feel free to bust out some name calling yourself (I know how much you love your ‘teehee’ moments), just be sure you can defend your position when people call you out on your reasoning.

“What I can tell the right hon and learned gentleman is that all guidance was followed completely in No 10.”

They weren't wearing masks or observing social distancing and it was the most fined address in the country.

'You’ve done this before - set conditions then when they’re met decided imaginary forces are at work. Bit like the three legged donkey you insist on backing.'

'Imaginary forces' 🤔. Can't recall ever suggesting that but carry on making stuff up if you like in the absence of actual facts.

Ah calling people bints is not on, but calling them cat's bum faced is OK. Gotcha.

Keep the derail attempts coming if you like, all the do is make you appear to be devoid of the ability to participate in a proper discussion.

Not sure that's quite the reason...

But to consider the question seriously, Jenkins is a Tory and thus there's a clear risk that escalating this issue further feeds into the narrative about arrogant Tories shitting on restrictions. So the likeliest candidates to try and make an issue of it here are Tories who are more interested in supporting Boris than in party interests as a whole. They'd either need to be not standing in the next GE or feel confident that the risk was worth the benefit. Is Nadine there?

Reasoning?

What's that?

Tobias Ellwood showing so mettle. Blow me down.

Can you also not recall @Janiie why you think it acceptable for the Prime Minister to lie to parliament about his illegal birthday party?

carry on making stuff up if you like in the absence of actual facts

I suspect many Johnson supporters are not Conservative supporters - otherwise they would be a lot more worried about the perception of their party.

Unnecessary and overrated apparently

I wasn't sure if it was something that one added to curry, perhaps a bit like seasoning?

There are definitely a few of them putting support of him ahead of wider party interests. Though nowhere near as many as he'd evidently hoped!

'Ah calling people bints is not on, but calling them cat's bum faced is OK. Gotcha.'

Have you got it, have you really? I don't think so. Here let me help. Anyone, man or woman can be 'cats bum faced' is an expression bit like a 'bulldog chewing a wasp', it descibes someone disapproving in an ott fashion. Whereas 'bint' is a misogynistic slur. Pm me if you get stuck on anything else

Indeed, he kept his word

The English (or a lot of them) are easily duped by either toffs or eccentric buffoons. From Jimmy Savile to Boris Johnson, the schtick is all too familiar.

I thought you were ignoring me and telling everyone else to too?! Yet here we have another gif. You can't help yourself can you 😘

You seem really angry today, janiie. Are you OK?

Tobias Ellwood

@Janiie I'm stuck on why you think Boris Johnson should be allowed to have illegal birthday parties and then lie about them, I'll pm you about it.
