Its that bad, the establishment is actually laughing at itself.

Minister prompts laughter in House of Lords as he tells them of 'robust system for upholding public standards'The statement that Michael Ellis, the Cabinet Office minister, read out to MPs as he answered the urgent question about standards in public life was particularly pompous and circumlocutionary. “We are fortunate in this country to have a sophisticated and robust system for upholding public standards,” Ellis told MPs. “That system is multi-faceted; it is made up of interlocking and complementary elements.” You can read the rest of it in its glory on the Hansard website (https://hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2022-07-05/debates/54A97440-B383-43DE-B948-A508B410A483/StandardsInPublicLife).
After an urgent question in the Commons, a minister in the House of Lords reads out the same statement, word for word, before taking questions. Lord True, a Cabinet Office minister, read Ellis’s statement to peers this afternoon and as he opened they responded by laughing. They seemed to find the line about “a sophisticated and robust system for upholding public standards” particularly amusing. Even Natalie Evans, the leader of the Lords sitting alongside True, seemed to see the funny side.
This is from Insider’s Henry Dyer.

I think there will be more resignations to come. Government ministers will now be trying to find out which way the wind is blowing and will then act in their own best interests. Once there is consensus that Bozo is finished, more will resign and claim they did so out of conscience. :rolleyes:

It's down to the 1922 committee to change their rules and remove him which I'm in no doubt they will do.

He's clearly taken lessons from his mate Trump about clinging to power until the bitter end.

Yes, after the recent confidence vote Bozo is technically safe for a year, and is he the type to resign? Not until the very last moment. Either the 1922 Committee changes its rules regarding leadership challenges, or so many ministers resign that even de Pfeffel accepts the jig is up. Either way Bozo does even more damage to the Tories. He isn't going to do the simple thing and go quickly and quietly.

Yes, he could ask the Queen to dissolve parliament directly and force a general election. That’s what the counts were playing at when they voted through the fixed terms act legislation 10? years ago, removing the right of the Commons to oversee when a general election is called. Even in the current climate, it would be dynamite for the Queen to refuse the PMs request, a constitutional crisis even.

[neil7908]

Is there any way he could force through a general election?

I think the only way this could happen is with a vote of no confidence in the government. And there is no way Tory MPs would vote for that when they can just alter the 1922 committee rules and vote him out that way.

But God knows what other tricks Bojo has up his sleeve.

I've always thought Zahawi is one of the poorest performers on TV, to the point where you almost start to feel sorry for him.

Yes, some will be after high spending. Martin Kettle got this bit spot on

Johnson’s Conservatism is highly unusual, a rag-bag of high spending, government intervention and English nationalism. It has little connection with the low tax, small state, globally liberal Toryism that preceded it and which the party cast aside when it rushed to embrace Johnson as the answer to its problems. If and when Johnson goes, his form of Toryism may go too. But what will come next?

...thats the interesting bit. We might be seeing the break up of the party as we know it, similar to the recalibration that happened in France when the traditional two centre-right centre-left parties imploded and Macron walked into the void.

I think on the important stuff - Brexit, Covid, Ukraine - he’s been excellent.

I like his vision for the future and his enthusiasm.

The partygate stuff didn’t bother me at all. He could and should have just been honest from the get go and the public would have let him off with it.

That’s why he was so popular at first. He wasn’t like other politicians in that he could say things we didn’t like to hear but would accept them from him.

As for now, the knives are well and truly out and I can’t see a way he stays in office.

Brexit - without wishing to get into a debate on it, I don't think he's done very well on that front at all. My thoughts on the matter would pretty much be the same as those aired by Michael Heseltine last night.

Covid - I thought he was an absolute catastrophe. The wrong man to be leading us through such an important time and I think any of the Prime Ministers we've had during my lifetime would have dealt with it much better than he did.

Ukraine - I think he's had a decent war, after a poor start. He kind of had to let his pals get their affairs in order though, given how compromised he was by Russian money. Not sure how much I can really think of him happily taking all that cash and then trusting him to maintain his position long term though.

As a personality - I quite like an affable, amiable, blustering character and don't really have a problem with the way he comes across. It needs to be backed up by an element of competence though, even if it's just surrounding yourself with folk who know what they're doing.

Partygate - he just didn't read the room, but that's not something I think he has enough awareness to do. Had he been getting enough right elsewhere I think there might be room for forgiveness on partygate but he hasn't. I also think his tendency to use then discard dangerous people like Dominic Cummings has helped him make formidable enemies, this ensuring that partygate was blown up into something that it might not have under other circumstances.


I think there's a naivety about him that's just mind-boggling. This is a situation entirely of his own making and I'm finding it hard to find any sort of sympathy for him.


He won't be any sort of a loss for anyone if he goes, other than his political opponents and the weirdos he's surrounded himself with.

Whilst I'm not a Tory myself, I retain a "relatively" open mind regarding politics that aren't necessarily my own. The idea of a centre right government who act with a bit of integrity isn't something that horrifies me as much as it horrifies most on here. To get one of those from where we are now would be a colossal lurch in the right direction.

Hopefully we might get one of those. And then we can work on getting something better than that.

All fair points, I just removed some of it to save repeating your whole post.

I think it’s been a wasted opportunity. He had such a large majority with the country overwhelmingly behind him to get things done.

He just totally screwed it up though. I don’t buy into the whole ‘he doesn’t care about anyone’ line.

I’ll happily accept that every single MP in Westminster wants what’s best for the e country. They just have different views on how to get there.

Well-placed source convinced Boris Johnson won’t quit, even if the 22 change the rules, and he loses a VONC.

Johnson famously wrote two articles before the Brexit vote, supporting diametrically opposite views. He chose the one that gave him the best chance of personal progression. So how does this demonstrate wanting "what's best for the country"?

He got elected on the back of the Brexit ticket and that led to him having a handsome majority.

The circumstances leading into the next election would be VERY different.

Even taking certain circumstances into account that weren't necessarily his fault - covid, then what looks like being a subsequent global financial crisis will have meant a very difficult few years for people whilst he has been in charge.

I think his departure would be a godsend to the Tories, although it might be worth holding onto him to soak up a bit of grief whilst we go through the next spell of financial turmoil before appointing someone new in time for a "fresh approach" to the next election.

The ONLY people who can honestly still be supporting Boris must be Independence supporters who see the increasing division and blunder this idiot is causing and want it to continue.

Nobody who understands politics at any level can say with any honesty that they think he's doing, or has done, a good job.

Seeing people suggesting he's 'done well on the big things' is equal parts hilarious and sickening. He's a criminal who is responsible for the unnecessary deaths of tens of thousands of people, who has shattered the economy with his Brexit activities (or lackthereof) and who has made us a laughing stock and paraiah nation with the clear intent to violate international law.

Surely there's a remote island somewhere where Boris and his supporters can be shipped off to while the rest of us try and pick up the ****ing pieces.

parliamentary private secretary Duncan Baker has resigned from the government, becoming the 28th MP to do so since yesterday

[WhileTheChief..]

It’s nothing more than gaslighting to say otherwise.

How?

Do a google search on gaslighting. I’ve just done it and in no way can you attribute that to me.

To say otherwise is hugely insulting and totally uncalled for.

Made it easy for you….

Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation in which the abuser attempts to sow self-doubt and confusion in their victim's mind. Typically, gaslighters are seeking to gain power and control over the other person, by distorting reality and forcing them to question their own judgment and intuition

Douglas Ross now says Johnson should go. I've lost count of how many times he has changed his mind about Johnson's leadership since January. And yet we're not allowed to have another referendum because we've possibly changed our minds?

Don’t like what you’re reading? Might as well start burning books!!

[WeeRussell]

Nah.

Labour know they can’t beat Boris.

Check the glee on their faces just now, they can’t believe their luck.

They don’t stand a chance against him and are 100% reliant on him being forced out.

I know I can’t prove this, but I still think he is popular through the country. It’s only the media that’s really turned against him.

It’s not like any of you guys ever liked him so it doesn’t really matter what he does.

If there was a general election tomorrow, with Boris at the helm, he’d still be PM on Thursday.

Are you talking about Boris Becker or Boris Johnson?

You can’t seriously be arguing that after all that’s gone on over the past few years that it’s only the media that aren’t best pleased with Boris. The public are in actual outrage at him and rightly so.

If his corrupt tory chums starting to turn on him (on top of everything else) doesn’t suggest anything negative to you in that regard then I think you’re right… it doesn’t really matter what he does.

I kind of hope you’re at the wind-up though.

I think on the important stuff - Brexit, Covid, Ukraine - he’s been excellent.

I like his vision for the future and his enthusiasm ... He wasn’t like other politicians in that he could say things we didn’t like to hear but would accept them from him.
Right.

[Moulin Yarns]

The cost of living /inflation thing is an issue for every government in the world.

Not sure we can lay the blame on Boris or the Uk gov for it and I dread to think what Labours plans would be. They’re useless with money in the good times, let alone the bad!!

Global inflation rates? UK is 9.1% Switzerland is 3.4% even India is lower than the UK.

[WeeRussell]

i beg your pardon ?

If you don’t like the ridiculous things he’s posting about Boris Johnson then you might as well burn all the stuff you do enjoy from writers you respect.

Something like that.

[WhileTheChief..]

Yeah, We can all google “which country has lowest inflation” just to try and make a point.

If you’re an economist and want to put some meat on the bones and explain the intricacies of the Indian economy, go right ahead.

Otherwise, what point are you making?

Was brought up by someone else.

Why bring India or the Swiss into it? I’ve not looked but I’d guess it’s cause they were the countries he could point to to try and make the uk look worse than it is?

Maybe we should strive to be like Rwanda at 2% or Chad at 0.5%?

You can't possibly believe this can you?

You can't find any evidence to back up that's he's popular but just know it's true - you realise thats mental right?

Smartie mentioned it, you replied that every government in the world has high inflation, I picked Switzerland because it's European and India because it is a former colony. I could have said China or Australia. But, the fact remains that the UK is trailing the majority of countries, with a few exceptions like Venezuela!

[Stairway 2 7]

Global inflation rates? UK is 9.1% Switzerland is 3.4% even India is lower than the UK.

Eu average is 8.6 , US 8.5. So we are worse ,brexit probably cost us a % which is no small thing.

Remember, Boris nd Co did away with international comparisons during Covid when we did away with graphs showing how poorly we were doing.

Until he goes International comparisons are irrelevant.

Cabinet ministers privately saying it's all over but that they're staying in government out of a sense of duty

Duty not to PM, but to ensuring that there is still a government left to actually run the country

They think it will be done in the next 24-48 hours

[Jones28]

He's so brazen that he will last it out until he is forced out.

I remember reading Bojo the clown has more MPs on the payroll than any other PM before, hence his win in the last VONC. Something like 242 of them are loyal and being paid more than their basic salary, so 31 isn't a huge number. This will get messy, the idiot will need to be dragged out of No10 with his nails scraping the floors as he goes. it is always fun to watch tories in total meltdown though :greengrin

Watching Johnson at this committee is painful. He flicks through his papers as if he is looking for some sort of detail but he’s not even reading. He’s just fidgeting because he is totally lost.
