Maybe Starmer should be considering legal action now. |  |

That is absolutely despicable. But also expected and illustrative of this government's approach. |  | | |

Even from making wild personal, slanderous accusations?
Any member who agrees with him?
How does that work once out of the job at a later date? | |

Nothing said in Parliament (and that includes before a select committee) is actionable.
You won't find any of them say the lie about Starmer outside the House of Commons. And I suspect boris' addition of 'as I'm led to believe' to the lie gets him off the hook in any event.
But not off the hook of being stupid, pathetic and all the other epithets BlueBadger applies (correctly) to him.
There's also an irony to boris saying the other thing Starmer did as DPP was prosecute journalists. Especially given boris' involvement in Darius Guppy's plan to get a NoW journalist beaten up. [Post edited 2 Feb 2022 0:07]

Johnson infects those around him. This poor shmuck has just destroyed any reputation he ever had (I've never heard of him).
For what?
The likes of Dorries deserve what they get, but there's quite a number who seem half decent (for tories, yes, I know) and, as Starmer pointed out to them, are dying on the bonfire of Johnson's sociopathic endgame. | | | |

The trouble is that he is working on the basis that throw enough mud and some will stick. I know people who will take it as fact, I’m sure everyone on here does too. Bit by bit it is destroying our previously mature democracy. |  | | |

They have a number of problems if they fail to defend Johnson (this is not a call for sympathy, just an exposition):
If the PM manages to stay in office, they have put themselves out in the cold as regards any jobs or preferment for the foreseeable. The party whip was withdrawn from rebels en masse in 2019.
Local constituency parties may turn on MPs who stick the knife into their darling Boris. That could even involve deselection.
They get branded as disloyal. Even future Conservative leaders may decide not to trust them (especially if themselves a former Johnson associate - the likeliest outcome). Especially if, unlike Gove, for example, they don't have their own powerbase to make them undiscardable.
Acting as a stalking horse for more powerful actors is a risky game.
Opponents and the non-aligned pointedly ask why they'd continued to back Johnson thus far. So they still don't come out of it well.
The only kudos you might get is from opposition parties, to whom you have handed a small victory. Which is not going to stand you a better chance of being re-elected.

However, if you do continue to spout the Johnson line, you look an idiot and put yourself in the position of also going down if he falls (tho perhaps you think that may be inevitable anyway).
Stuffed either way. |  |

Perhaps one of Starmer questions to Boris should be 'Would you be prepared to stop outside the house to repeat that accusation?" |  |
