    If he had a Spitting image puppet would it look more humanistic.

    He looks fabricated. 😂
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    @briantrumpet could you set up a tweet of the day thread to save us looking at the other 10 billion of them.

    So how much legs has this party meltdown got in it? It's difficult to see how it ends.

    They could put an end to it on Monday by voting unanimously (including Sunak) for the committees findings and put an end to this sorry chapter.

    They won’t.

    The conspiracy chat is particularly disgraceful.

    He lied and they proved it. That’s it. Get over it.

    How does the Twitter commentary match the video above?

    Edit: well that's embarrassing!

    It probably hasn't got as much legs as his dwindling band of supporters hope, but it's still quite fun to witness their desperation.

    https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/jun/15/boris-johnson-allies-fury-partygate-report

    Supporters of Boris Johnson have vowed to target Conservative members of the privileges committee and Tory MPs who endorse its findings for deselection, as the aftermath of the report prompted vicious internal infighting.

    One ally of the former prime minister said they expected Bernard Jenkin, the most senior Tory on the committee, which said Johnson misled parliament in denying any lockdown-breaking parties, could be a particular focus in his Harwich and North Essex seat.

    It remains to be seen, however, whether there is much remaining appetite in the Conservative party at large, and especially in the parliamentary party, for Johnson-backing sabotage in advance of a vote on the report on Monday.

    In the hours after it was published, saying the former prime minister would have been suspended from the Commons for 90 days if he had not stepped down as an MP last week, a series of supporters condemned the findings as unfair, excessive and biased.

    “They just don’t realise the extent of anger they have created, and that will be manifested,” one Johnson backer said.

    However, such comments came entirely from existing and diehard Johnson supporters, many of whom had been given or promised honours by the former prime minister.

    The shamelessness of Dorries is actually impressive in a way...openly demanding to know why she didn't get her pay off.

    To be fair, given the long list of sycophants that Johnson paid off, I can see why she might be miffed... everyone else got something or other.

    There were a surprising number in the audience on the short bit of QT I watched taking the line that it was unduly harsh, that ‘innocent until proven guilty should apply and he should have the right to defend himself’ and the old chestnut when your political team are taking a beating of ‘it’s just the Westminster bubble showing they don’t know what really matters to the country’.

    I'd be inclined to agree that it was harsh...if not for the denials, lack of anything approaching remorse and the general crapping on the parliamentary process.

    I do struggle with the idea that this is the party who presents themselves as the party of personal responsibility.

    Rick - Check out the late 80s / early 90s effective rate vs today's. It was tough back in those dark days, and not just because - as my kids tell me - everything was in black and white.

    No, all the gammons like Stevo will rock wearing their blindfolds and ear plugs and vote Tory as normal, so there will probably be a fairly balanced parliament I'm afraid.

    It's true though - Stevo is a remain voting paid up Labour supporter who voted for Corbyn.

    Yeah. Almost as bad right?

    I’ll carry on the thread as no one seems be able to click through.





    So the forum response is “well we had it before and it was bad for us so ha it’s bad for you too, stop whining”??

    Worse. The peak is above the 6% line whereas today is below it.

    I think the problem is (sort of different) this time around, in that many millennials have waited slightly longer to get onto the housing ladder. I mean, an older relative was recalling working multiple jobs to keep above water. I think these days those jobs wouldn't have paid enough to get on the ladder in the first place (in the part of the country he was in).

    Either way, after graduating into a global financial crisis, a second economic catastrophe in your early 30s is certainly great fun!
