Roll on PMQs! How many times will Johnson be asked to resign? How many times will he waffle on about vaccine roll-out, delivering Brexit?

I know, it's all very Ground Hog Day. Should really be called Prime Ministers Evasions.

It's been like groundhog day ever since Cummings was thrown under the bus for coming out with those ridiculous and pathetically unbelievable (by many on here) excuses for the Barnard Castle, eye test, covid fiasco.

How on earth the police can reduce knife (in the back) crime when it's rampant in the Government is beyond me

PMQ's interesting already, Lindsay Hoyle explaining you can't call someone out for lying as we know. Music to bojos ears and should put a spring in his step.

Did he deny doing it, and said repeatedly he had not broken the law or not followed the guidelines?

No idea Hugh, but a party during lockdown - especially after stating the rules should be followed - is still a party during lockdown . . . right?

It's a Conservative party.

Absolutely right!

However, lying about it repeatedly and publicly, both in and outside of the House of Commons, does make it a bit more serious.

Yes you're probably correct, however an MP publicly calling for the head of his boss for something he himself has previously been guilty of strikes me as just a little hypocritical . . not to mention placing his arse in a position where it could get bitten . . . if the media got off their arses and questioned it*

* like that's gonna happen

I think the issue is now more about the lying.

Which is basically a standard requisite for an MP of any party . . but to be fair, although lying is commonplace it's getting caught at it that seemingly annoys folk

Not quite. Labour’s Prime Minister, Tony Blair lying about WMD sending many troops unnecessarily to their deaths, and your bothered about a few fecking parties.

Blair went mid-term and handed over the keys to his successor. The same will happen to Johnson. Chris's prediction that it will happen in the summer looks increasingly more and more likely.

Both Iraq and Johnson's double standards have cut through and won't be forgotten by the electorate.

Why can't you be bothered about both?
