He Should Go

I’m surprised nothing more has been said about this

I voted Tory and no doubt I’ll vote Tory again but there’s just so much Joe Public can take , Boris needs to go

They do more than report, they delight in elaborating, ellipsis, and adding their own slant. And a lot people believe everything they read - And it's getting worse. I have no problem with reasonable media and of course agree we should know what's going on.

I, personally, think Rishi Sunak would be awful as prime minister. He seems to be working to his own agenda and I think he would reintroduce austerity measures far worse than Cameron and Osborne had in place. Liz Truss, if what I read somewhere is true, seems to be on the verge of ceding to the EU the ECJ disagreement over NI. Boris Johnson didn't take us out of the EU, we are still bound to a large extent by their rules, their laws and still paying them large amounts of money. He lost interest in getting us out once he became PM.

the labour Party do have a hand in this abject failure in No10

sorry, ymb, there's no way Starmer told Boris to go partying in defiance of his own lockdown rules. It's our rulers' own arrogance that has got them into this mess.

Besides, there's no reason for Starmer to chase Boris from office; that just means he'd face a less tainted party leader at the next general election. If he's to be removed from office before that it's down to the Tories.

Some say we're getting dangerously close to 'at least he made the trains run on time' territory.

Defending the indefensible of inadequates down the years.

The "report" is a can-kicking exercise, in the hope that by the time it comes out we're (largely) over covid. Then Bozo can trumpet the brilliant success of the vaccination programme (and hope we forget all the mistakes).

PAT, various reports state witnesses seen the PM at the party so why will he not either confirm he was there or say the witnesses are wrong?

This is all of his own making and you cannot blame others for his actions.

If The members of the A/B.... Radicalised Right Club.... can't see through
......Boris and his Crony Club.....then you ain't Blinkered. nor Tunnel Visioned .
....You are just blind to it ....Can't you see Boris and his chums have used your vote to feather their own nests.. And break every rule in the book to do so .

What are you talking about jno? did you actually read what I wrote?

Hint: It had nothing to do with 'partygate' and was a general observation.

I know you dont think oppositions should help to push a Government, but I do. They were elected by people to represent them and that includes holding the Government to account not just sitting back and letting them get away with it.

ymb, I was responding to the quote which I carefully copied and pasted from your post. (Though I don't know why you think partying has nothing to do with it - what do you think prompted this thread? It's all there in the OP.)

It is not the job of oppositions to get rid of prime ministers. This is a parliamentary democracy, so it's up to the voter. Alternatively, his own party may remove him from the leadership when they think he's become an electoral liability; but that will be done out of self-interest, not the interests of the nation.

Like you I think Sunak would be the best choice. God forbid it's Truss.

[burlyshirley]

To be honest, I'm surprised he's still hanging on ! When I think back to all the rules and regulations of lockdown, it makes my blood boil. People not being allowed to attend the funerals of their loved ones rankles the most, how awful, for them now to be reading this ! It seems he was laughing at us all when standing up on TV behind his little podium telling us what we can and cannot do, knowing he would be breaking all the rules if it suits ! Personally, I can't stand any of the others, especially Gove, he reminds me of one of Hitler's henchmen !!! Oh Boris, what HAVE you done .... ??

/This is all of his own making and you cannot blame others for his actions./

Corby, where on this thread have I defended Boris, or blamed others for his actions!

[THECORBYLOON]

"/Pat, are you saying starmer and co are to blame ?/

To blame for the party a year ago! Of course not. What a weird question Anne?

But to blame for continuously investigating for more *** to stir up!"

You are blaming others for making us aware of Boris' actions but without their revelations, we'd be none the wiser would we?

Would you rather we knew nothing at all about the various events?

[pat2604]

I repeat

/Corby, where on this thread have I defended Boris, or blamed others for his actions!/

What I said is true!

No Comments from Tora Tora Tora or Naomi? Says it all.

The problem with Mr Johnson is that there is no credible candidate to replace him.They are all a bunch of mediocre jobsworths.Same up here in Scotland,No one to replace Mrs Murrell.I dont know what the answer is.

[Bobbisox1]

I’ve just seen Michael Fabricant talking to Sarah Mee ( sky news) his hair? I thought it was a comedian :0(

[pat2604]

If there was a general election now I would vote Tory again. The best of a bad bunch.

[Bobbisox1]

Me too Pat , in a heartbeat

[bhg481]

I have voted Tory almost exclusively since 1968. I shall not vote Tory again so long as Boris is their leader.
