That taxi for Boris

[Winston]

People want the job, Headset they just likely want to have put as much of covid and partygate behind the Tory party before they take over

I still think whoever takes over would prefer to have the job after the May elections as it’s likely to be pretty bad for the Tories regardless of who takes over

and the reason Labour need someone new in is because they should want to go head to head at the May elections and the damage a poor May election might have on the party could make the red wall MPs very nervous. It’s the Tories who by acting set the things in motion not the voters at present of Labour.

I wouldn’t think anyone could guess what will happen but he looks like hangining on as long as possible

[headset]

If true that sounds like a sensible plan Winston and, fairly feasible

[kippers]

Have they resigned or have they been potted.?

The media would have you believe that Boris was the host (or DJ) at all these parties.  Maybe these fuckers were the main protagonists.

[Robbso]

Poor Boris

[Squarewheelbike]

Poor Boris

You know and I know, that when he is inevitably gone, be it now or after the May elections it wont be his fault! Like his days at Eton, he will have been outrageously badly treated for nothing that was absolutely not his fault whatsoever!

Boris Johnson tells No 10 staff ‘change is good’, quoting Lion King, amid resignations turmoil – UK politics live


Well, his quotes to staff members just now he ain't going anywhere just yet

I will stick with my initial guess of a springtime exit around March time.

Winston has gone for May and around those elections.

The fly me lot have circled the whole calendar - its like playing pin the donkey's tail with them lot.

Anyone else brave enough to have a go of the online imaginary sweep for some craic

If its any concelation the will be no mocking from  me if you get it wrong u ''lefties' ..

and you can only have one guess lefties

[Bob End and his Sexy Bitch]

Tbh I couldn’t give a fuck as the whole lot of them are shite squared

[Bernie]

Patience Bernie, patience. Remember Theresa May won her vote with a higher percentage than Boris, but Rees Mogg found a way round that, so that's available again. Like most are agreeing now, it seems the crucial point to take action is after the next round of Bye Elections which pollsters are already predicting as disastrous!

[Winston]

You only get rid of the incumbent Government by having a strong opposition which has been proved beyond doubt that we don’t have.

Starmer has had enough chance and over 2 years to prove himself with his 1 policy that the Tories will self implode and sadly it’s completely failed because he’s he’s NOW under another investigation. Hardly forensic and he’s making people who support him and call him Mr Integrity look like the idiots they are

The Guardian on Sunday put him behind Boris in a recent poll and today he’s under investigation for parliament breaches

As for the 2 by elections they’ve never been important and don’t change anything regardless of the outcome

Will be interesting to see how deep Boris and plenty of others were in Aaron Banks' dealings over the "Leave" campaign. Banks sued Observer journalist Carole Cadwalladr for libel after a series of articles published the year after the Brexit vote, focussing on the lies, damn lies and statistics used during the Leave campaign. These included some of the obvious stuff like "£350M a week for NHS", "Turkey joining EU" as well as stuff like big posters of lots of brown faced people who were going to nick every ones houses. Not only did the Judge find that all the egregious "Leave" lies were indeed lies, as were claims that all funding was above board and legal, when in fact a great deal of funding came from Putin's Russia. Just let that sink in a bit!

[Bill Buxton]

The judge found in Bank’s favour but wouldn’t award damages. A very strange decision. Banks may appeal.

The judge found that it wasn't a "SLAPP" case, but Banks still lost!

[Rutters]

The judge did rule that banks had been defamed but offered no recompense because the tweets and TedTalk were to an  'echo chamber' and therefore of no consequence to Mr Banks.

The appeal will centre around Twitter being a public forum and TedTalks being available on Youtube.

Could you show me where it was evidenced that Bank's funding came from Putin's Russia? Unlike the £500,000 from the Chinese Communist Party to a labour MP, it's just conjecture.

Just let that sink in a bit!

It's amazing isnt it that the £500K bunged to Bejing Barry by an agent of the Chinese Communist Regime never gets aired on Sly or the BBC.

[Rutters]

What isn't amazing is how little coverage such massive issue was given by BBC/ITV/Sky gave it and how quickly they dropped it.

It's not journalism any more, it's identitarian activism.

[Bill Buxton]

Absolutely correct. Mind you I think the public are seeing through it.

[Winston]

She wasn’t able to prove Banks had links to Russia and if he’d taken litigation against TedTalk he’d probably of won by the sounds of it

And it sounds like she’s made herself ill with stress

If you want to get excited that this lady implied that banks had links to russia then admitted she couldn’t prove it and changed her defence from facts and truth to the public have a right to know what she ‘suspects’ argument then knock yourself out

They both sound like idiots to me

It doesn’t sound the ‘smoking gun’ some think it is

[Rutters]

The reason it must be challenged is that easily-led people now feel justified in saying 'Banks is Russian funded' just because one women thought it might be true, admitted it wasn't but continues to say it anyway.

That's why we have defamation laws.

[Rutters]

Turns out that the Judge is married to a fervent anti-brexiteer and LibDem candidate.

There's a shock

That's not why Banks' sought damages against Cadwalladr at all. It was over the claims she made repeatedly about him and links to Russian's that she couldn't support with evidence and had to apologise for, so not sure why you feel the need to lie so much.
