Genie Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Some great mugging off by the BBC Quote In a statement he said: "They have still not produced a shred of evidence that I knowingly or recklessly misled the Commons." one paragraph lower Quote In evidence given to the Privileges Committee in March, Mr Johnson admitted misleading Parliament, but denied doing it on purpose. So he’s admitted he misled parliament but is being forced out because it wasn’t done recklessly Will that work for anyone else? “I admit killing my neighbour but I didn’t do it recklessly so shouldn’t be punished”. “I drunkenly crashed my car into that group of school children but didn’t do it on purpose”.

You just resigned you dickhead The bewildered bit I get, I imagine that’s how we awakens every day. Appalled is surprising though, it’s a wonder he’s able to be appalled at anything after the depths he’s plumbed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crux of the matter is that deliberately misleading is taken far more seriously than being an idiot and saying inaccuracies unknowingly.

desensitized43 Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Excellent news tonight. Hoping this is the start of the turning of the tide. This post truth shit has to be stopped. Probably too much to ask but we definitely need some kind of enquiry into the last few years of corruption, cronyism, lying, attempts to subvert parliament and democracy, the misleading of the public to vote for something so damaging to the country, all the lives they cost during covid through their utter arrogance and incompetence. In times past these people would have been executed. They should be grateful we’re all more civilised now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 We need a new supergroup party on the right. People that know what’s needed and have a proven track record. Johnson, Farage, and the Wetherspoons tramp need to launch a new vision, a new party to challenge the old tory heartlands and get this country back on the right track. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted June 9, 2023 Moderator Share Posted June 9, 2023 So technically speaking Johnson can apply for an appointment to a position of profit for the Crown (The Stewardship and Bailiff of either the Chiltern Hundreds... or Manor of Northstead) and will be disqualified from sitting as an MP He can then almost immediately resign that position of profit and then be free to stand for parliament again. Just saying because it is rather odd that Mad Nad and Johnson resign on the same day, it just seems rather conveniently timed. Especially as it was long rumoured that Johnson always fancied her rather safe seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Taken the coward's way out as he thought he could lose his seat. Thankfully he is finished as his band of toadys are also rapidly disappearing. A poundland Trump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAuthority Posted June 9, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 9, 2023 In his statement he seems to have gone full Trump. Deny, abuse and question the integrity of everyone that doesn't agree with him. What a classless scumbag. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like a good political conspiracy as much as the next guy, but it doesn't make sense for her to resign now if that's their plan. On current polling Mid Bedfordshire is a toss-up for the Tories. The thing that means they'd be more likely to lose it would be a high profile by-election with the sort of Tory candidate that means thousands of activists and resources pile into the area and four weeks of media focus. If they wanted to get Johnson as MP for Mid Beds, he resigns now, tries to become the candidate at the next election when there is (a bit) less focus on him with the rest of the election noise.
