Cracking question asked in commons just now. She asked when someone in her constituency who was fined for breaching lockdown rules can expect his money back. Quote
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted January 11, 2022 Paid Members Posted January 11, 2022 (edited) I was listening to Angela Rayner asking the urgent question in Parliament. Rees-Mogg said he still trusts Johnson. I don’t see how he can survive this if it’s found out he was in attendance. This was worse then the Christmas parties for me as it was during the first lockdown. *Seems it was Michael Ellis not Rees Mogg. Sound the same but he didn’t quote any Latin or Patron Saints so should have known. Edited January 11, 2022 by Hannibal Scorch Quote

Moderators neil Posted January 11, 2022 Moderators Posted January 11, 2022 Who is going to revolt though? Quote
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted January 11, 2022 Paid Members Posted January 11, 2022 Yes, I guess that is the question. We've seen the anti-lockdown protests. Will we get people doing the same over this? I believe the next local elections are due in May, if they start losing any of those seats, the pressure will be on. Quote

RedRooster Posted January 11, 2022 Posted January 11, 2022 Do you know what fucks me off? The use of the word ‘rules’, instead of ‘laws’. The Tories have been quite clever about that. Johnson doesn’t say: ‘no laws were broken’, he uses the much softer sounding: ‘no rules were broken’. And subsequently, so does everyone else - the opposition; the media, whether they’re pro-Johnson or not; and members of the public. But fuck, the Tories weren’t just repeatedly breaking the rules, they were repeatedly breaking the law. We should all be saying that, rather than adopting their bullshit narrative. Quote

The Tories already lost the North Shropshire By-Election which was traditionally a very safe Tory seat. If that’s anything to go by then I’m guessing the Tories will have bad results at the local elections too. Boris Johnson won’t resign himself but if the Tory Party think there’s a chance they’ll lose the next General Election with him as leader, then they’ll force him out. It happened to Thatcher, it almost happened to Major and it happened to Iain Duncan-Smith when they were in opposition. Quote
RedRooster Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 My worry is that they'll replace him with someone who is willing to fuck up the country even more with their hard right agenda, they'll bounce back in the polls after that change of leader, call an early election, and the friendly media will help them get over the line once again, and we'll be in for four more years of absolute hell.

If Boris stays we've still got them for another term purely based on the last election. Nobody's turning over a 78(?) seat majority in a single election. Jeremy Hunt is my prediction for his replacement when the time comes. He's been keeping his powder dry & waiting. He's an absolute fucking snake and has the edge on Sunak as he's white (but with mixed race kids....see we're not racists). Quote

There hasn't been a PM in modern history who has brazenly lied their way through this many scandals, whilst fucking up society and pissing off almost everyone along the way. He'll do well to keep his seat, never mind his majority. Quote
Paid Members Dead Mike Posted January 12, 2022 Paid Members Posted January 12, 2022 Yeah, hopefully I'm massively wrong but unless Murdoch abandons the Tories again I can't see it happening, sadly. Quote
RedRooster Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 On another note, I'm bracing myself to be massively annoyed by PMQs later. If he actually does show up, I fully expect him to hide behind Sue Gray. Fuck, I wouldn't be surprised if he deployed the tried-and-tested "hide behind the last Labour government" approach. "I think you'll find they held plenty of parties at Downing Street..." Quote
