Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
The Tories defence of Johnson is getting a bit tired: https://twitter.com/MrMKimber/status...76097738256387

Quote:
Leader of the House of Commons and Conservative party MP Jacob Rees Mogg has claimed that there would need to be a general election if Boris Johnson were to be ousted as Prime Minister.
Rees Mogg yesterday argued on BBC Two's Newsnight that any would-be successor to the Prime Minister should call an election to receive the public's backing.
There is no rule in British law stipulating that a new Tory leader would be required to call a general election after winning a party leadership race.
But Rees Mogg told Newsnight's Kirsty Wark that Britain's parliament has moved to 'an essentially Presidential system' and declared that any new PM would be 'well-advised' to seek a fresh mandate.

Exactly. Whilst Old Boy is telling everyone to wait until the report is published, he's also telling them that there is insufficient evidence for a prosecution.

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
I cannot believe how people are so quick to form a firm judgement before they get the full facts! Can people really not wait a few days?

From what we know. I have said pretty consistently that we should wait for the Gray report.

Sir limp biscuit fails again, what a pathetic waste of space this man is.
And the humble crofter still playing the same broken record.

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
He just lies as a matter of instinct. Even when he doesn't need to do so.

Does he really not have a moral compass? ie If questioned, is his instinct to tell them what they want to hear as oppose to the truth, on the calculated chance that there is little chance the public will find out the truth?

He gives the answer that will get him out of today’s problem - he doesn’t think ahead.

Thats complete nonsense.
John Major took over from Maggie without any new election.
Gordon Brown took over from Tony Blair with no new election.
Major was elected again 2 years later, while still leader of the party, Brown wasnt, as labout lost the election 3 years later.
(if you go even further back, Callaghan took over from Wilson, again, no election for 3 years, until Labout lost in 1979)
