    It really doesn’t get any clearer than that. In normal times it’s a straight resigning issue for breaching the ministerial code and lying in the HoC.

    Except we don’t have any procedure to get rid of him. There is no written constitution. The system is built on customs and has no way of dealing with a party who has a majority deciding to ignore those customs. He can do as he likes now.

    Above that, we do have a rule of law which is supposed to hold them to account. But the gatekeepers of that law are the Metropolitan police.

    Teflon Johnson...it's sickening what the Tory party has done to politics in the UK

    Partygate: Insiders tell of packed No 10 lockdown parties - BBC News

    Insiders who attended events at Downing Street during lockdown have told the BBC how staff crowded together, sat on each other's laps and how party debris was left out overnight.

    For the first time, insiders who were at some of the events have told BBC Panorama in detail what they saw.


    They describe arriving for work the morning after a get-together to find bottles lying around parts of the building, bins overflowing with rubbish and empties left on the table.


    They also tell of events with dozens of staff crowded together, and parties going so late that, on occasion, some ended up staying in Downing Street all night.


    And they say staff mocked others who tried to stop what was going on.

    The cleaning staff should all be sacked, clearly.

    Why was it ok to have a send off for someone changing jobs, but not for someone who died.

    Has the BBC finally woken up?

    Boris Johnson enters another period of difficulty after being found out yet again to have clearly been lying to Westminster and us, the British public, what's his greatest achievement been that should mean "we" keep him in a job?......

    None, he should never have been elected as PM and has been awful. He should resign and that would be his greatest achievement.

    I like you're thinking... we agree!

    However, of the things he's done... anything in particular?

    This, from Rachel Clarke, is something to think about.

    https://www.theguardian.com/commenti...e_iOSApp_Other

    They were partying, to be clear, on the day Britain’s Covid death toll topped 52,800. Another 438 deaths added to the tally just hours before the revelry started. With the country yet again in lockdown, Covid felt old, so grim, and so much harder this time round. Still, you gritted your teeth and did what you must. Because, honestly, who in their right mind would want to risk infecting and killing others?
    As Boris raised his glass and chortled, more than 60,000 of us still lived, still breathed, who, three months later, would be dead.

    The only thing I can think of was the vaccine rollout and the military support for Ukraine. But he is unfit to be PM and he should still resign.

    Nah, BBC Panorama has always been a bit off script.

    That and Have I Got News For You are about the only programs on the BBC that get close to the truth - or at least not lying.

    I think he is close to going.

    He won’t resign but the pictures, the Sue Gray report, panorama and people coming out telling stories as they feel thrown under the bus.

    He must be close to the edge now?

    Next 24-48 hours crucial.

    So far, 15 mins in, it's mostly Kuenssberg gushing about Johnson.

    Laura Kuensberg trying so so hard to give balance to the lying, corrupt, disgrace of a human being Johnson.

    Ros Atkins would have done that whole programme in 7 or 8 minutes, losing nothing but the other 52 or 53 of the smitten schoolgirl wittering.

    Influential Tory MP shares NHS poster after Boris Johnson partygate photos emerge (msn.com)


    It comes after Baker previously called for Johnson to quit over the events of partygate in April by telling the Commons: “The prime minister now should be long gone. Really, the prime minister should just know the gig’s up.”
    Baker, who is deputy leader of the Tories’ Covid Recovery Group, said he found that he could not “forgive” Mr Johnson for “not obeying the letter and spirit” of the law.
