His policy chief has quit over the Starmer slur

https://news.sky.com/story/munira-mirza-boris-johnsons-policy-chief-quits-over-use-of-jimmy-savile-slur-against-sir-keir-starmer-12532074

In her resignation letter she wrote :
I believe it was
wrong for you to imply this week
that Keir Starmer was personally
responsible for allowing Jimmy
Savile to escape justice.
"There was no fair or reasonable
basis for that assertion. This was
not the usual cut and thrust of
politics; it was an inappropriate
and partisan reference to a
horrendous case of child sex
abuse.
"You tried to clarify your position
today but, despite my urging, you
did not apologise for the
misleading impression you gave."

Just will not listen to anyone will he ?
At least someone else in his entourage ‘gets it’ and has done the honourable thing

When will Boris do the same ?

Nothing more boring than the leader of a country running off at the mouth when cornered is there Zacs? What is everybody thinking? Ganging up on an inadequate who's only trying his best. A chancer, a liar, a bully and now it seems, a huffy teenager in the body of a man.

and long may he continue to sting them with his easily seen thro lies!
well said that leddy !

Times today - in case any one is tired of the usual dishes of AB refried hash

Dear Sir, In raising the failure of the CPS to prosecute Savile while Keir Starmer was DPP, Boris Johnson has surely scored an own goal. Starmer knew nothing of Savile's crimes at the time, yes he apologised and took responsibility for the CPS's omission. In contrast Sue Gray's interim report highlights failues of leadership and judgement and yet the prime minister still refuses to take responsibility. Nigel The Nige Watts Pitcombe Som
If it gets as far as a vote of confidence it'll probaby be because he's been shown to have misled parliament and refused to resign.
Then he will lose.
The main reason I suspect there have been few letters is because people don't want a vote that he might - probably currently would - win. And then he'd be safe to keep on disenbling and bumbling along to the detriment of all for another few months.
//Starmer knew nothing of Savile's crimes at the time//

Rubbish! If he wasn’t aware of such a high profile case he wasn't fit for office.

//the prime minister still refuses to take responsibility.//

Your Times correspondent seems to have missed something.

//Boris Johnson says he takes responsibility for ‘everything that happens in government’ following Christmas party criticism//

December 18 party would be launched by the cabinet secretary and offered an apology for the video.

// //Boris Johnson says he takes responsibility for ‘everything that happens in government’ following Christmas party criticism////

excuse me miss keep up - dont we have to wait for the police investigation and the final Sue Gray report BEFORE we do all that

or have I read too much guff on AB ( again )
yeah you know like it LOOKS like he is taking responsibility !
//dont we have to wait for the police investigation and the final Sue Gray report BEFORE we do all that //

No.

The Left seem to be in favour of a Sunak 'replacement' because they know he hasn't a hope in hell of leading the Tories to victory.

Lol what utter guff !
He has ten times more chance than Boris has
Even the party know it

Sunak looks assured
Confident when he speaks and gives off an air of professionalism
Can you say the same of Boris ?
So why would the left want someone who looks measured and competent to take charge after Boris ?
You clearly have no grasp of the situation
Especially as Sunak is the favoured choice of so many Tories too

———-
Yet many are claiming there is a clear out at number 10 with all the resignations
So if that is the party line then why is the head honcho in charge taking responsibility by resigning too ?
Whichever way you try to spin it Boris is toast
And the party know he MUST be gone before the GE or a lot of them are guaranteed to be out of work
Sticky; What with ichi saying;


"I agree tho Sunak looks like the PM in waiting.
If I was then I’d try to do a straight swap - would solve a lot of issues from their point of view10:55 Fri 04th Feb 202"

and your positive accolade for Sunak above; it sounds very much as though the Left are rooting for him.

Just as I said.

Massively wide of the mark again
You clearly have not read my previous posts whereby I have stated I do not want to see a Labour government and far prefer a Tory one
Just under a different leader
One who is competent
Professional and has dignity and respect

But you consider me a lefty ? ?
Lol !
As I said
No idea what you are taking about

Any reply to my question about Savile and Thatcher being pictures together with such frequency ?
As I asked one might think that in her position she would have heard certain rumours ?
Question Author
*pictured not pictures
You know as much as me about what rumours Mrs Thatcher may or may not have heard. Zilch.

From Sky News :

Boris Johnson addressed Downing Street staff this morning and told them 'change is good' - report
The prime minister gathered 70 to 80 staff in the Cabinet Room in the last hour, according to talk RADIO's political editor Peter Cardwell.
Apparently, Mr Johnson quoted Lion King character Rafiki (the wise monkey who guides Simba) and told those gathered: "Change is good."

Lol !
So when he going to do the same ?

Funny though because you reckoned Starmer must have known because he rubbed shoulders with a certain class of people ?
Just like Savile and Thatcher did

Never mind
I haven't mentioned Starmer rubbing shoulders with anyone. That red mist certainly gets the better of you, Sticky.

Conveniently ignoring the "from their point of view" And my other post "as a labout supporter the last person I want to see as PM is Mr Sunak
However, I honestly would rather see him as PM, not because it's good for labour but because it would simply be better.
Boris seems to have made a right pigs ear of things in a very short time. I cannot recall any previous Prime Minister from either party, getting in such a huge mess, and in so short a time.
//I cannot recall any previous Prime Minister from either party, getting in such a huge mess, and in so short a time. //

I cannot recall any previous Prime Minister from either party having such an unprecedented task to perform.
I am repeating myself but, Boris appeared to be a better PM when Dominic was around no. 10 .
