    Just thinking, is this 'Oven Ready greatest deal etc etc' that the Tories crowed about during the election campaign...... which is now suddenly crap...
    .... is it not the same one that caused all the angst at the time because the Tories removed the opportunity to allow it to be scrutinised by the house?

    Paul Von Hindenburg was a tall man with a stoop and a lazy eye. He abhorred moustaches and combed his hair to the left, despite being right-handed on most days of the month.

    PVH served an apprenticeship as a joiner before changing course and pursuing an SVQ in army general/presidency - to the disappointment of his father but the taciturn pride of his mother.

    He spoke 17 languages including a rare Sumatran dialect that hadn't been discovered at the time he learned it.

    In later years he was a regular on Radio 4 comedy shows. He had a life-long friendship with Danny De Vito.

    All the rest, you will find on Wikipedia

    There was a Tory voter on here had a wee Boris badge as an avatar at one point. Dont know if it was an attempted wind-up or not. Of course it's a democracy and everyone is entitled to give their vote to whoever they wish. Saying that we've seen Johnson in action for the 15 years or so.

    He was well suited to his previous job, sending warped copy back to newspapers from Brussels. He could lie all he wanted and be as unprepared as his editors wished as he was privately employed.

    That job isn't the same as this one. Anyone actually thought he'd be a competent PM, do the work required and consume the detail required for debate is a mug. He's useless and always was.

    Boris has just responded to Angel Rayner on testing; “we have delivered on the most thoroughgoing testing regime anywhere in Europe”.


    Fantastic

    When Rayner was carping about Covid rules for grouse shoots, I half expected Johnson to start wittering that shooting them was for the birds' own good.

    It's all to do with breeding.
    There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

    His vocabulary must have around a 1 in 10 ratio of words which a Google search would describe as "archaic".

    ...words like this also have the benefit of being non specific and unquantifiable. It’s like saying the UKs test and trace system is world beating...or Zlamal is a ‘world leading’ keeper.

    I normally like it when people resign under such circumstances, but it seems that these days they only ever manage to get some sort of horrifically corrupt yes man which is even worse than the sort of Tory who eventually remember that deep down certain principles such as the rule of law should actually mean something.

    Whoever they appoint now has to be OK with them breaking the law from day one.

    When a convicted criminal resigns over concerns what you're doing isn't legal, you should really stop and think.

    His resignation would have been impressive if it had happened as soon as he understood Cummings's position on breaking international law. The fact that he spent a couple of days trying to think up ways to justify that position, before eventually abandoning the attempt, not very impressive.

    Agreed. It's been reported as if he resigned because he thinks the proposed IM bill would be illegal, which would be quite principled, but that's not actually the reason for his resignation - almost the opposite in fact.

    I see this has been announced (with the promise that he won't stray into matters he's not allowed to advise on) on the same day as Tory MP David Morris has been ordered to apologise to the Commons for breaching the standards on parliamentary advocacy. I'm sure the £10,000 donation he received for doing so will make that apology pretty easy to stomach.

    This stuff will continue for as long as the regulation and enforcement remains poor and the regulation and enforcement will remain poor for as long as the people making the rules have a vested interest in allowing it to be.

    Feels wrong that first role doesn't it...The only reasons companies pay for this type of advisory role is if they feel they will help them grow ..impossible to think they won't use his parliamentary leverage and network in the UK business..
