Everything Johnson says is a downright lie that stands the truth on its head. | |

Immediately followed by a Tory MP commenting on the "outpouring of sewage" into local rivers 😂
Then Blackford, good value as usual + capitalising on situation. | |

"Perhaps it is true... too hard to get a GP appointment. Johnson promised 6000 new GPs... health sec says not going to be met."
BJ "Record numbers in training"
Starmer "A letter from MP for S Herefordshire: "under you Govt lacks mission... no plan..." Not just GPs, waiting times for cancer care up. 135000 extra people waiting for cancer appointments. Wanting and inadequate.
BJ "We are able to cut the times and get tests faster..."
KS "cancer waits been up for 10 years. Can't blame pandemic... North Tees hospital... dangerous..."
BJ "This line of questioning is satirical. | | | |

Johnson sounds like a broken record at this point and the lies are wearing tediously thin. I think even his own party, as demonstrated earlier in the week are tired of him. He simply can't get stuff done because it really is of little or no interest to him. |  | | |

If I was Boris Johnson I would simply reply that “80% of the parliamentary Labour Party voted against the previous Labour leader in a vote of confidence, including you. Why did you then campaign for him to become Prime Minister less than a year later? If you didn’t trust him, why did you try to persuade the country to trust him”?
Johnson needs to get some better scrip writers to bat this stuff away. |  |

Does it grind your gears that you have more brain (& probably application + work ethic + morality) than Johnson, so if you'd gone down that path of national politics you'd have been a better PM?  | |

Hmmm.
I can think of few developed countries less able to recognise war crimes — our own and those of our allies (cf Iraq and Saudi Arabia in Yemen). There at least seems to be a debate around it in the US. |  |

To be fair, even Mad Harry would probably make a better PM.
And he's a Russian chatbot. | |

Easy to reply to: "MPs support a leader, even if they don't completely agree with them on everything, in order to work together on policies that matter. Of course sometimes a leader abuses their position and the trust of their colleagues to such an extent that it is apparent to everyone that their position is untenable.
The Labour Party have changed their leader. It's time the Conservative Party did the same." | | | |

Indeed. And that whole sorry affair tells you all you need to know about the parliamentary Labour Party. | |

Johnson performed pretty well in the circumstances. The most notable aspect is that no Conservative MP knifed him.
Starmer went "safety first" and primarily talked about the Government record on the NHS.
Johnson spaffed, as per usual. It's what he does.
Blackford forcefully pointed to a Westminster system which fails to deal with a Prime Minister that Scotland hadn't voted for.
Johnson called him his friend and chuckled about Blackford's customary forcefulness, as per usual. It's what he does.
So it was a classic Johnson performance: don't answer direct questions, respond to anything Starmer says with the "Levelling up" etc soundbites in a loud voice, and adopt "serious concern" when a dying constituent is referenced.
He thinks he is going nowhere. It looks like Starmer is happy for him to limp on, but at a very basic level Johnson comes across as the dominant one in their exchanges, so I think that is a dangerous game. | | | |

The PM will always be dominant as can always have the final word - I've not watched todays as yet but KS been much better in last 2-3 weeks. |  |

When you praise Ian Blackford, just remember his complicity in a smear campaign against a dying man he was likely beating anyway whose career was marked by his integrity and high principles. | |

He can't get anything done because so much is lied about.
Where all other politicians were trying to work through the impasse that was NI border, the bloated bullshtter simply said that there would be no border and no checks, knowing that if he said it enough times the simple minded would believe him
And rather than admit Tory cuts had reduced the number of nurses and doctors (and police) he claimed that by some magic trick he would conjure up the missing staff - and he would build 40 new hospitals.
Yes, he is incompetent. But the real problem is not only does he make unobtainable claims, but there are numerous cap doffers like Glasgow Blue, desperate to re-enact the parrot sketch, in their hopeless attempts to defend him
I don't doubt that his all too predictable rants at the dispatch box are 'Gove assisted'. Todays performance came across like some unfortunate French royal on the tumbril, telling the crowd to watch out for him, when he is brought back on the return journey
Bravado perhaps, as even in his wide eyed delusions he must see that the end is not far off.
