Boris - new low

Obviously he's running scared from his own side as well and Labour and the excellent contribution from Ian Blackford - no doubt Dennis Skinner would have done the same if still an MP.

However, there was no need for Johnson to stoop to the level of more lies - this time trying smear Kier Starmer with untrue allegations about Jimmy Savile.

@Cornettoninja

I have to admit to lol’ing at hearing Boris has declared that numerous aides leaving is ‘part of his plan’ to address partygate and the underlying culture.

Oh you meant for this to happen. The spin is outrageous.

I thought the minister on tv this morning explaining it was because No 10 needed a clearout at the top. That would be Johnson going wouldn't it?

'I think we also agree that it would be inappropriate for a 56 year old Prime Minister to have a birthday party when denying that to millions of children.'

A bit of cake in an office for 10 mins isn't a party.

Do you often have 10 min parties?

There are many parties I have been to that would have been much better for being 10 minutes long.

Well it does sound plausible or else they'd all be writing speeches like Mirza wouldn't they?

I’m glad you find it plausible that must be a comfort to you.

Mirza has been with BJ since what? 2008/9? The rats are deserting the ship. I suppose if you want a positive spin there’ll be less droppings in the larder.

[quote Parker231]@jgw1 - have you not had your email invite to the leaving party - it’s in Boris’s flat, make sure you call in at Tesco’s for some drinks to bring with you![/quote]
Problem is that by the time the leaving party gets going there’ll be no one left to attend. They’re like rats deserting a sinking ship and Boris will be partying alone. Ironic that if he’d done that in the first place he wouldn’t be in this mess.

the80sweregreat · 04/02/2022 20:49

If go to Boris Johnson's leaving do / party
Just to make sure he has gone.

TheRealMrsMac · 04/02/2022 20:53

Yes, and we could have an expensive wallpaper stripping party - save the next occupants a job.

Yep, I might just take a ' souvenir' !! ( in my dreams !!) Or bring the wine from the co op
Blossomtoes · 04/02/2022 20:54

I reckon Johnson’s leaving party will involve champagne corks being popped all over the country.

I will definitely pop some champagne. I can't wait!

the80sweregreat · 04/02/2022 20:56

That'll fo me!!

the80sweregreat · 04/02/2022 20:57

So , mumsnetters champers and a wallpaper stripper eh?
The metal kind!!

TheRealMrsMac · 04/02/2022 20:59

I think many of us will feel similarly to how we felt when Trump lost.

And waking up the morning after, and realising that yes, it really did happen - oh joy!

the80sweregreat · 04/02/2022 21:00

It might happen, but it'll be a while

Do you often have 10 min parties?“

Millions would have given anything for ten minutes, or even one, with their loved ones as they passed.

It was illegal, as were many Downing Street “gatherings”, or whatever the fuck you tell yourself they were to minimise them. You’re just wrong. Either you voted for the idiot and can’t acknowledge how wrong you were or you didn’t observe the law, either.
No other reasons for defending this bloody shower.

And yet defend it she does. Constantly. It is very strange how some people still haven't opened their eyes to his lies and deceit. I genuinely wonder just what it will take?
MrsSkylerWhite · 04/02/2022 21:10

NETSRIK: I think he could throw a sack of kittens in a canal live on TV and they’d still roll their eyes, smile and say “oh that cheeky Boris, what is he like”.

Almost as laughable as the Nigel Farage “man of the people (multi-millionaire) having a pint down the pub” illusion. He’s a claret man, wouldn’t be seen dead with most of supporters in his private life.

People are so easily played, it’s very sad.

Every tyrant falls, just like the autumn leaves. Spring will come, but first, we must bear through this winter together.

I'll keep the champagne on ice !!

Lying is the natural position for Tories

Boris - new low
MrsSkylerWhite · 04/02/2022 21:16

Anyone listening to Any Questions this evening?

There’s a Professor, Deirdre someone whose surname I didn’t catch.

She is fantastic. She’s putting everything I think about Johnson into words far, far more eloquently than I could and it’s furiously from the heart.

Connor Burns, defending his old cum, sounds like an idiot.

TheRealMrsMac · 04/02/2022 21:16

Partying is exhausting. They need a lie down.

MrsSkylerWhite · 04/02/2022 21:16

Old chum. Oops 🤣 predictive text, honest.
