Genie Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Releasing it to him first to allow him time to sling some shit before releasing it to the public is looking like a bad idea at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making things massively uncomfortable for Sunak over a period of weeks or even months is definitely the best thing she's ever done in her life. Well, I doubt she knows this but according to the .gov website, information related to peerages are exempt from both the privacy policy and SARs Damn pesky European GDPR laws 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he has a way back into the Tory party. I suspect the most likely outcome is that he'll go and write newspaper articles and go speaking at various right leaning places here in the US and be paid a load of money for doing so. If he really fancied being involved again I think his only way would be to get involved with one of the Reform or Reclaim pseudofascist parties.

Genie Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 (edited) Today is report day isn’t it? Should make for interesting reading. I assume the conclusion is along the lines of “you’d have to be one of the stupidest people in the country to believe you weren’t breaking the rules when you were the person writing the rules and cascading them to others”. He knew, and he lied, repeatedly & recklessly. Edited June 15, 2023 by Genie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knew, and he lied, repeatedly & recklessly. He’s not a complicated creature. Enter a room, say whatever you have to say to make it all ok regardless of whether it’s true or actually believe what you just said, enter next room, say whatever you’ve got to say even if it contradicts the thing you said in the last room, repeat. The problem is in most areas of business life being a massive bullshitter is on the whole kind of seen as a good thing. It even worked fantastically for him as a politician on the campaign trail because whatever room he was in he said whatever the audience wanted to hear. He’s probably never had a situation where it’s actually mandated that he can’t knowingly lie. It must have come as a massive shock to have his bullshit called out in such a public and embarrassing way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desensitized43 Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Reports out. As expected, he lied. 90 day suspension recommended...not that it matters anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Quote Stand back; a committee of MPs has said Boris Johnson mislead MPs, then mislead a committee, then tried to undermine the democratic process. Boris Johnson has called this a “charade”. But the conclusions are considerably worse than many expected. Link More than half of those on the committee were Tories too. What a result!

Also recommends that he should not receive a former member's pass - so de facto banned from the Commons. Very funny stuff. Let's hope he doesn't go quietly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
