  1. ​ @mickodillon1480 I think Short and Opinionated needs a dictionary as apocalypse is clearly not the answer .

  2.  @lunafringe10  don't you read Boris has form from his days at The Spectator.

  4. Jason I had the same feeling as you.People seem to have remarkably short memory spans and Bo Jo clearly relies on that .

  5.  @Warhead-haggis  Warhead you are right and David Cameron ought to be ashamed of his role in this ridiculous situation.

  6. Martin it was the Tories favourite scheme and 3 different Home Secretaries promoted it ( Patel, Braverman and Cleverly ).

  7.  @braindonor8753  I do have health problems but I am so disenchanted with my G P that I can't bring myself to telephone to arrange a face to face appointment. Currently you are treated as a nuisance who is unworthy to be seen by a Doctor. I can testify that the N H S was 100% better when Tony Blair and Gordon Brown were in power.

  8.  @jay26cee  I do not believe politics in the U K is rotten but we have had a rotten Tory government for almost 14 years and it is time for a change . Just because a few Tories are trying to rebrand themselves as Reform is no reason to vote for them . If Braverman decides to join Reform then that is yet another good reason not to vote for them.

  9.  @jay26cee  Labour MP's are not identical to Tory MP's and they deserve an opportunity.

  10.  @braindonor8753  The Tories have no defence to the charge that they have presided over a complete and utter mess for almost 14 years .I hold Osborne and Cameron primarily responsible and look what has happened now with Lord Cameron back in the Cabinet as Foreign Secretary leaving Cleverley to insult our Norther towns from the Home Office . I do not think you could make it up.

  11. William I share your approval of Yvette who has impressed me for many years. Imagine Patel ,Cleverly , Braverman or Badenoch facing Yvette across the Dispatch Box .

  12.  @jayjolley9258  Nothing is perfect and sometimes you just have to make the best out of what you have .Tactical voting actually helped get rid of a number of Tory MP's .

  13. ​ @johnregan2443  People will not forget the Tory shambles.

  14.  @jayjolley9258  One has to be realistic .

  15.  @RolandMat-u6y  Sunak appeared to have doubts about the scheme but then supported it .What strikes me is that the Tories planned for the arrangement to last 10 years which suggests to me it was not actually going to be a success.

  16.  @faithlesshound5621  He called David Cameron a girly swot because he achieved First Class Honours .

  17. James are you referring to the Excess Profits Tax ?

  18. ​ @jamsheadaziz3999 Good point. Braverman made Patel look good .

  19. I agree Giovanni.

  20. Steve the rules were extremely complicated but regardless of numbers we were asked to observe social distancing and clearly the people in number 10 did not do that.

  21. Gove does not believe in anything and that is why he is able to stomach being useful for Boris .Lisa actually believes what she is saying and is capable of expressing her contempt for the shabby and devious Tory government.

  22.  @Robo94100  I do appreciate the arithmetic in the Commons but it is a scandal that the UK is represented throughout the world by an unworthy creature like Boris. Surely there are sufficient Tory MP's who are sick to death of the incompetent and dishonest Prime Minister we currently have .

  23.  @jedfra9172  Take a look at Thatchers contribution .Short term tax cuts were financed by the revenue from the North Sea when the money should have been used to rebuild our manufacturing base via an Investment Bank . Building Societies ,British Gas BT etc were sold off and again the monies were used to finance tax cuts.

  24.  @jamesrawlins735  Boris is capable of doing some serious work but I think most of the time he just pretends that he is working. How could any professional politician fail to understand that all gatherings / parties do not conform to the rules introduced with lockdown. Look at the mess he created for the family of the Iranian / British lady currently held by the government of Iran.

  25.  @polliebain7450  He is confident that he will get away with his dreadful behaviour as he has done in the past .In my opinion his race is run because the scandals are now surrounding him including the American lady who has recently delivered documents to the enquiry into his period as Mayor of London .

  26.  @jamesrawlins735  He is an intelligent person but is clearly incapable of self discipline . I think he. might be able to deliver a decent speech but that might well be followed by a shambolic performance the following day

  27. At the moment there is no leadership but an omni shambles presided over by an over indulged child .

  28. Tihetris they could do worse .

  29. Has anyone else been struck by the lady in blue sitting behind Boris .If anyone needs to lose weight it is her.

  30.  @patrickmccutcheon9361  This debacle could have been predicted but that does not make me feel any better.The Conservative Party is finished if it keeps Boris on as leader .We deserve better than this charlatan as our PM .

  31.  @oscar38  The radio is financed by the licence fee and is one of the services supplied by the BB C .You give the impression you are a dreadful snob and I am sorry for you.
    2
  32.  @CeiliogWaspflake  The B B C is in a difficult position because the Tories hate our national broadcaster. This antipathy has been a feature for many years because they fear the truth about their dreadful policies and the corruption which is endemic.

  33. Boris is attempting to run the country without being accountable to Parliament .This is dangerous and is highlighting his dictatorial tendencies.

  34. Ann-Marie what do you suggest ?
    2
  35. She doesn't. She is a waste of space.

  36.  @waqasahmed939  This isa well known Tory tactic and it is used to blackmail their own MP's.

  37.  @BuddhaOfDarkness  I suppose the answer is there was some competence exhibited before 2016.

  38. If Sue thinks criminal offences arise from the Downing Street parties then Boris 's position becomes completely hopeless and he should resign now. There is no miracle waiting to happen for this dreadful.man.

  39.  @1chish  I do not believe in wasting words or time .

  40.  @1chish  Childish and stupid .

  41. Truss and Johnson have to be worse than Sunak .

  42. Yvette 's husband is Ed Balls who was also a Labour politician.

  43. Ron I love your idea .

  44.  @redboyjan  Good luck to you in your new home .

  45.  @redboyjan  I will never forgive the traditional Labour Voters who swallowed Johnsons lies and we still haven't got Brexit done .
    2
  46.  @FungeHucker  Agree he ought to resign now.

  47. You would be very wise to do so Andrew.

  48. Boris disrespected all the people who have observed the Covid rules introduced by his government and all the people who have lost family and friends to Covid .

  49. Tom I agree .Rees- Mogg is just a toff who looks after other toffs .He has no idea how the majority of people live .
    2
  50.  @IndieGems2  The very suggestion that Boris Johnson may be welcomed back like a prodigal son causes me to suggest that the Tory Party has run out of ideas and deserves to be abolished.
