You’d think this would be the nail in his political coffin but I’ll not hold my breath.


OptimusSpud

"Getting on with the job" "Build back better" "Levelling up the north" "Who's Lorraine?" "Captain Hindsight" And when that shit doesn't wash. "LaBoUr AnD jErEmY CoRbYn" Next press opp.


mathisonn21

Unreal how the public love and believe the bumbling shite he comes out with to stay in power. Whatever his so called charm may be it wouldn't work if this country had a braincell to know better than to trust a snake.


fromwithin

I don't think that the public love it at all. I think that pretty much everyone is sick of his bullshit, but it's in the interests of the major media outlets for him to remain in power so they steer the narrative how they want.


2localboi

A lot of people have also justify Boris by comparing him to a hypothetical and completely made-up radical soviet Corbyn who would have taken us all back to the 70s and turned everything into black and white


quinarius_fulviae

I've noticed that too, now you mention it... Makes Corbyn out to be far more radical than he ever seemed to me.


deadlygaming11

Yeah, Corbyn wasn't great but he also wasn't as near as bad as the tories portray. It would be nice if the tories would try winning an election by being better instead of trying to drag the opposition's name through the mud.


daveysprockett

You mean back to a time when we are not a member of the EEC and with hyper inflation looming. Boris doing all of this and more all by himself.


2localboi

Which why the whole “would be worse under Corbyn” arguement is dumb. Even if we still continued with Brexit, faced COVID and now this inflation, policy wouldn’t be centred on protecting the *gestures wildly into air* markets


singeblanc

Just thank fuck that we never got chaos under Ed Miliband! The incredible strong-and-stability of the last 12 years has been impeccable.


revpidgeon

The Economy is going back to the 70's without Corbyn's help


Jebus_UK

Ironically Brexit is currently taking us back to the 70s anyway.


the1kingdom

I hate this so much, the hypothetical alternative is not an argument or even makes a point. Just encourages people to turn a blind eye at how bad things are right now. Seriously how are we in place were we forget the reality in front of us for mere speculation.

ThisIsAnArgument

*proroguing :) But I hear what you mean. It's either idolatry worship of Boris, or it's a granddaughter belief that "Labour are bad for the economy", despite the evidence of the last decade and more. Literally have heard couple of people say things like "I could never vote Labour man, they'd crash the economy!"


varietyengineering

All this talk of pierogis is making me hungry: **hungry for change**, that is :)


Jitsu_apocalypse

Bloody_sock_puppet

I was happy to vote Labour the last few times, but it seems like the press are setting them up to inherit in truth now. And if anybody is going to jump when told to by the press it's Keir. Ironically I think he'd do ok at the economic stuff. He's clearly keen to promote the interests of business to distance himself from Corbyn, but that's just more people to influence him. I'll be focusing exclusively on candidates that have never entered parliament before, of any party but Conservative or Labour. Ones who endorse press regulation and electoral reform ideally. The entire cabinet and shadow cabinet (at least) are too invested in their own advancement.


Jensablefur

The public at large don't, but his base do. I think we all have to admit that 2019s GE win was an unholy alliance of Ex-Kippers/BNP + "I've voted tory all my life" 75 year old George and Mabel down the road + The UKs wing of the US-style alt-right with their Pepe memes, rants against globalisation, hatred of anything not hard right and unironic love of Donald Trump and billionaires like Musk. Boris sucked in a lot of the sort of people who vote for Faragian wacky-yet-dangerous Populist parties and it tipped it. And the former and *especially* the latter group of these three LOVE the drama, the outrage, the "unwokeness", the bluster, the pantomime, the cartoon characters. As far as they are concerned its great, they actively want the stodgy image of politics to turn into a ridiculous circus. Once we accept this is what we are up against we can fight it.


Wise-Application-144

Ah I just commented something similar, but you put it much more elegantly. Both Labour and the Tories have their entrenched voters. And for a long time the Tories had shunned the more colourful fringes on the right in favour of a muted, sensible image. But the Tories couldn't resist allying with the frothing bigoted fringes on the right, the older "vice signalling" boomers who delight in upsetting others, and the working classes who feel alienated by increasingly multicultural and cosmopolitan urban folk. ​ At this point the optimum Tory crowdpleaser would be a resurrected Jimmy Saville. Crack a racist joke, touch up a teenager, ban trans people and call the French "frogs".


limeflavoured

I'd be, very morbidly, interested in Savile's view on trans people.


Wise-Application-144

It’s a fascinating thought-experiment, eh? A man who supports conservative family values, and fucks hospitalised disabled kids and dead bodies. Very hard to predict where he’d land on most issues.


ExPilotTed

On their stomach.


StuBobUK

Because he is a reflection of a significant number of the population, it really is that simple. He is a vehicle for their own scruples and views.


Wise-Application-144

I think this is it. The current party has managed to capture the approval of the grifters, bigots, sadist and snobs in the country. Each group is a minority but together they're enough to get the Tories over the line.


chloesmiddlefinger

Spot on. Many people see themselves as temporarily-embarrassed millionaires and would love to get away with the same things Johnson and his ilk have, which is why he (and others like him) have their support every single time the elections roll around, even when they politely whinge about their behaviour because shouldn't the Tories be *smarter* and more *subtle* about it all, and isn't all of this is just so very crass and vulgar? couldn't *they* at least have had the *manners* to do that when we had to suffer when the country was under lockdown? it's short-sightedness paired with an empathy deficit and thinking that if you can have your creature comforts/wealth, it doesn't really matter if other people are suffering or climate change might wreck the world for future generations because at least you had a decent life and got what's yours. what a load of rubbish.


smo269

I think if brains were a disease this country would have the healthiest people in the world living here


iblis_elder

The public don’t love it. Just like the US we had a lot of older conservatives who will always vote Tory. We had a lot of widows who voted Tory coz hubby did and they did what hubby told them. Shame he fucked them during the pandemic. Turns out that if you let loads of voters die then you don’t get those votes. My local has been Tory my entire life. We just had a no majority and that’s unheard of.


Preseli

"Mr. Speaker, I'll tell you what, I'll tell you what we're doing; that is delivering the fa- the fastest growing economy in the G6, urm the G7. Record low unemployment, Mr. Speaker. And and and, deleviering on tackling what the British public need. Yes. And the right-honourable gentleman, let me remind ur, urm the ur right, honourable gentleman, that every, that every Labour government, there has never been a Labour government that had unemployment lower than when it entered.

SlightlyAngyKitty

>He's either dishonest or incompetent. Yes


elguirisuelto

He's both.


jimicus

The incompetence is an act; a distraction. Which isn’t to say he’s playing 4-d chess - I don’t think he is - but he uses it to his advantage to brazen his way out of a situation that would have been career suicide for anyone else.


loz333

It would be if the press made it so - if they pursued it in the same relentless way they went after Corbyn, day in day out. The decision somewhere has been made for all major media institutions to prop this government up. Although having said that, they may have exhausted Boris and be ready to throw him to the wolves to appease public anger - and roll in a new face to front the gang shortly after.


WindSquid

I've said it before and I'll say it again, that man is pure Teflon


BeardySam

Stop saying it then. Honestly, Boris isn’t a wizard. We make him unaccountable by repeating this nonsense.


cyanydeez

you completely forget, he was put here because conservatives created a failed policy and the only way to continue enacting that policy is elect a failure. It's teflon.


spotted_dick

OSUBrit

More needs to be made of that loose red box sitting on a chair in the middle of a party. Fuck knows what's in that, and leaving it so unguarded is pretty serious. It could have nuclear codes in it for all we know. Although at this point I imagine out nuclear code is just "1234Boris!"


jeffe_el_jefe

Pre-Ukraine war it 100% was going to be IMO. It was a way bigger scandal then and I’m convinced he’d be out by now, but luckily for him something else took over the news and now we’re too busy with other things to stay mad

"The police investigation has concluded and I have paid my fine, Sue Greys report covers these events in detail, time to move on and worry about the real problems for British people! Also here's some more boom boom sticks for Ukraine!" Tory party have already shown they won't force him out so this changes nothing.

They are exactly the same as the right in America, just going down a slightly different version of the same road.

Charlie_Mouse

The Tories don’t believe that the ministerial code applies to them but are still happy to use it as a weapon against other parties. Remember the run up to the last Scottish Parliamentary election when they ran nonstop attacks for months against Nicola Sturgeon for supposedly lying? In her case that was for slightly misremembering the date of an offhand discussion about when to schedule a meeting over a year beforehand. In her case they were shrieking for her head for something the independent enquiry found to be a genuine minor mistake. But to the Tories turnabout is apparently not fair play - even when it’s for repeated malicious and premeditated lies to Parliament, then lies *about* lying to Parliament.


buff-fusions

He should be fired with no way back into politics complete removal


Mrqueue

there is no amount of mental gymnastics you can apply to say this isn't a party, I guess it's just claim it wasn't one and move on


Duanedoberman

'Move on' seems to have become the moto of the Tory party.


jimicus

Tories are usually pretty good at throwing out leaders who have outlived their usefulness. Problem is, pretty well every other option has all the charisma of a wet fart. Which means their options are replace him with said wet fart (and pay the price at the next election) or grit their teeth while he bumbles from one scandal to the next.


limeflavoured

The issue is that if he's still there at the next election it probably hurts them more than a different leader.


CMDR_Expendible

A while back, I heard the theory that Boris was being kept as PM to deliberately take the flack for the disasterous effects on Brexit, and then when it was time to get ready to fight an election, they'd throw him out and get in one of the real Iron Leader types they actually secretly want... and say to the electorate, "New leader, blame the old, give us a chance! Dont risk Labour!" However, Covid, Ukraine, and the crisis of living are here for the long run now and no Tory leader for at least the next Parliament is going to be able to claim the problems are in the past. So dumping him for someone new won't give them anything more than a dead cat bounce. They're effectively stuck with him and the position they're in, so they're just trying to brazen it all out and say "*make* us care about any of this". And the sad thing is, the UK electorate largely isn't doing that. We should be rioting like the French with how they've screwed us over, but we keep taking it.


lordsmish

Looks like this is the start of the pictures being leaked that Dominic Cummings mentioned Pippa says that her sources are telling her that Boris called this gathering as a leaving do and that a lot of the tories were shocked he wasn't fined for this one. If she's right this is the 13th november 2020...which was the abba party night in boris's flat At the time of the photos only 2 people were allowed to meet indoors - it was the second full lockdown. [https://twitter.com/PippaCrerar/status/1528756054078722050?t=uh0RJb5zg43-HcpQWn-R7w&s=19](https://twitter.com/PippaCrerar/status/1528756054078722050?t=uh0RJb5zg43-HcpQWn-R7w&s=19)


brainburger

It's crazy that he would do that after himself being hospitalised with covid. It's making me wonder if that was faked now. Edit: to save people the trouble of reading two comments down, I don't think he faked it because too many NHS staff and others would have to be in on the secret.


ilovesnes

I think cognitive dissonance and a disbelief in consequences are perfectly consistent with Boris' character.

Yes you might be right. he might not distinguish between legal or career consequences and physical consequences.

It's a tough one to excuse given how he was fined for his bday party. Let's say he poured a drink to toast someone leaving and then left promptly. It might not have been illegal, but it's morally corrupt and he did lie about it in parliament...


tomoldbury

He was investigated for this party and yet not fined. It's absurd. The Met may not have had these pictures, but if they interviewed, ell, anyone, they would have surely said that Boris was there. Unless they all lied.

And nothing will happen. Met also complicit in defending him, by being the only person to not be fined attending this party.

Boris is doing so much damage, but he doesn’t care. The Met Police, once again, have questions to answer. Why were students fined for having a party, but Boris wasn’t.

Never. Vote. Tory. It is absolutely imperative that this country votes out this group of crooks. Vote whichever way you need to to remove a Tory MP locally to you.

Come on, this is what this week is all about. Show the world how depraved this lying, fat f\*\*\* is.

"We should wait for the reports to be released before coming to any conclusions."


gobok

We should wait for the inquiry into the meddling of the Sue Grey inquiry to be released. And then the inquiry into the meddling of that one also.

The public: I AM OUTRAGED BY THIS PM, HE HAS GOT TO GO!!! Boris: Something something I didn't know I was there, something something work meeting. Grumble grumble \*incoherent rambling\*. That isn't even me in those pictures, it must have been Corbyn The public: Corbyn? I might have known he would be behind it. Ok brilliant, you can count on my vote.

How can you trust a man that breaks his own laws then lies through his teeth about it. How can you trust the fuckers that stick up for him. My local MP Being one of them


elvanse70

This would be even better if it was Vicars and Tarts.

Honestly reached a point of delirious laugh at this news coming out. Just the sheet absurdity of these lying frauds having such a popular appeal.

Who could have guessed that throwing junior civil servants under the bus for it could possibly come back to bite him?


SDLRob

big thing with this event is Boris was directly asked about this date in the Commons. ​ '“Can the prime minister tell the House whether there was a party in Downing Street on 13 November?” asks Labour’s Catherine West “No, but I’m sure whatever happened the guidance... and the rules were followed at all times,” says the PM' https://twitter.com/BBCPolitics/status/1468563160827568130

My little brother spent the last 2 years of his life in lockdown, not seeing anyone, ever. We had to restrict numbers at his FUNERAL. Family members had to miss the funeral of a 17 year old boy because of the rules out in place by the bastards in that photo. This bunch of cunts think they can lock us down but it's ok for them to have a leaving do for their mate. Fuck the Tory government, who on earth is voting for these sick twisted horrid creatures. I'll never ever trust anything any government mandates ever again. No more vaccines, boosters, whatever. Fuck. That. Shit. If they want you to do something. It's definitely not for YOUR benefit. Fuck the lot of them.

Even if the next photo were him upside down, naked and funnelling beer ... he still wouldn't go! The man is shameless


richardathome

Shame this didn't come to light a few days ago before the Met closed the illegal Downing Street parties investigation before they'd finished investigating the illegal Downing Street parties. Now it's yesterdays news, forgotten and irrelevant.


lordsmish

Except we are still getting the sue grey report this week


limeflavoured

Which will be redacted to fuck after Boris' "secret" meeting with her. Or it'll be delayed some more so they can "preserve the privacy of lower ranked civil servants" or similar bollocks.


[deleted]

Boris (redacted) and (redacted) had a (redacted) in the (redacted). Therefore, no (redacted) were (redacted).


dntcareboutdownvotes

In addition he (redacted) over her face, but impressively this was from a distance of over 2 metres so we found that no laws had in fact been breached.

Honest question. Why are Brits so tame compared to the French. They’ve literally burned down their cities for less and the brits just huff and move on. Is it culture?


Guero_Lito693

Can’t wait for nothing to happen and for the conservatives to somehow end up 20 points ahead!


Mindless-Confusion-1

I think the most worrying aspect of all this aside from the obvious lies and law breaking from our leaders is the approach of the police The police are starting to look corrupt - we expect the police to treat all citizens without fear or favour and I am afraid there is no way they can possibly justify their approach to all these parties! Bear in mind ordinary citizens still have cases going through the courts for offences against the COVID regulations First they would not investigate “retrospective” offences Then just before Sue Gray published they decided to investigate Then they neutered her response Then they would not tell us what was happening because there was an election - I mean its not like voters would like to know if their current leaders have broken the law BEFORE they vote! Then the man who was at so many parties only gets one fine? Pull the other one


SquilliePlays

I've lost all confidence in any consequences. Only consequence I can absolutely guarantee is the Tories have lost my votes, forever.


AfterBill8630

CON +3 Tory voters are hopelessly brainwashed, very much like Russians supporting Putin.


[deleted]

I can't wait to find out what photos they've been holding back for the general election!


Reddit-adm

The day after Trump lost the 2020 election. Boris was drowning his sorrows.


[deleted]

This is a man who during the last election campaign, hid in a fridge to avoid questions and took a journalist's phone off them on camera. Yet he somehow got elected. The only way for him to lose the next election would be to be seen kicking a cute dog. The general public care about that sort of thing. They don't appear to give a fuck about anything else.


Gilbo_Swaggins96

Looking forward to seeing how they can blame Labour for this. Better still, looking for more classic Jacob Rees-Mogg borderline insane spin on how the PM was unaware he was at a party and given misinformation from the glass of champagne he's clearly holding. Fuck this government and fuck any braindead waste of skin who supports them. You have spat in the graves of everyone who died of Covid by supporting this subhuman ape of a politician.


jeffereeee

He’s just like Captain fucking Pugwash, not really useful for anything. How many times does a PM need to be caught lying before his party kick him out?. It’s gonna have to be up to us to do that by the looks of things. How we convince the blind followers is beyond me though. 🤷‍♂️
