Now that’s what I would call a result. There are quite a few top Tories who only hold there seats by 2 or 3 thousand votes and many more back benchers, if they start to worry and panic about their own seats we will see a challenge to Boris in the not so distant future.

MikeO Posted December 17, 2021 Report Share Posted December 17, 2021 Cabinet secretary will conduct investigation into Downing Street parties says Boris. Except cabinet secretary has to stand down after it emerges he had a party as well. Sue Gray (second permanent secretary at the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities) steps in....until more than likely it transpires she hosted a swingers party on new year's eve.

MikeO Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 Angela Rayner did well again in the absence of Starmer in PMQs today but she did miss an open goal on two occasions that annoyed me. Johnson, talking about energy bills, twice stated that people on low income were receiving £140 warm home discount per week over the winter; it's actually £140 for the year (I know because when my wife was alive we qualified for it). She could've made him look sillier than he manages on his own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-59930733 Bring your own? Johnson is incredible, won't even stump up for a party, let alone flat refurbishments. Have to feel for a guy so strapped for cash, though in fairness his child maintenance payments must be quite a drain. Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 Not seen this before, maybe lots have... "Boris sometimes seems affronted when criticised for what amounts to a gross failure of responsibility. I think he honestly believes that it is churlish of us not to regard him as an exception, one who should be free of the network of obligation which binds everyone else." Current opinion? Nope....his housemaster at Eton in 1982. Wall Writer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palfy Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 Is Boris hoping that the Ukrainian Russian stand off is going to be his Thatcher’s Falklands conflict, and take the heat off all his problems at home. I may seem cynical but he’s gone to the Ukraine imo to get us embroiled deeper than we need to be at this moment in time to try and make it the number one topic of choice for reporters instead of his partying.

Bloody disgraceful rule change https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/2018/09/passport-applicants-hit-out-after-being-given-shorter-than-expec/ My passport expires this year, and it's become increasingly difficult to renew. Years ago, if I happened to be in driving distance of Washington DC, I'd simply show up at our embassy, and they'd get me a new passport in 30 minutes. Now, you have to apply through the UK, which can take months - and costs more. I was in a bind the last time around since my mother was dying and I couldn't be without my passport, but it was about to expire and I'd have trouble re-entering the US. In the end, I took a day-trip to London and managed to get it renewed there in a matter of hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
