This will be interesting to see - I was thinking maybe JRM ?

Just seeing the update about this Edinburgh dry dock boat tipping over; 25 injured and 15 taken to hospital. One of those days when a major incident is pushed down the news. Quite shocked by the boat incident.

Thank you for the link. I've got the parliament channel on now, dd and I usually watch countdown though so I'll have the parliament channel on my phone in the background. I may need to procure some headphones so i can listen to it in the gym as well.

I saw a picture earlier but didn't realise people were involved

Does it have subtitles? I will need to mute it at times. I know iPlayer does.

It does have subtitles

That's good, I'll need the volume up to have any idea.

I hadn't seen the news about the boat, was walking the dog. It sounds awful. I hope everyone involved is able to recover quickly.

Following your thread with interest.

Those gathered outside the committee room ready to see Boris Johnson give evidence include a cheerleading band of Johnson loyalist MPs including Jacob Rees-Mogg, Mark Jenkinson, Michael Fabricant and Scott Benton.

No Nadine?

Murdoch, Putin and Dorres I heard.

He is late already

Lol @jgw1

Johnson glowering a lot.

He wanted Harriet Harman ousted. Tough tits.

I think I'm going to need to buy a new TV..............because I can see that I'm very likely to put my foot through the one I've currently got sometime this afternoon.

"How quickly and comprehensively " what he said was corrected.

He's had his hair cut specially! And the balloon burst before he could rub it over his hair before the hearing.

Opening statement... BJ doesn't want to start his statement till the vote in HoC. Tough says Harman. Off you go.

Is that his serious look, the straight lips?

He has taken the oath now.

Looking a bit thin on the top. Bald Boris Johnson in the future? Lose all his powers like Samson?

His unruffled hair was the first thing I noticed

woffle woffle woffle woffle. I guess its going to be hours of woffle

Dominic not his best friend anymore

I cannot believe I am watching this shite. And yet here I am!
