Boris Johnson, former Prime Minister

[tobyjugg2]

So when are the tories going to show they have nothing left to lose - and bring the Liar back in a desperate hope that he hasn't been seen through?

Tucker called Johnson sleazier and lower than Putin. That's amazing.

Well, on such an important parliamentary vote however little effect it would initially have on Israel or Hamas, where britain could have pulled its head out of its ass and led the world - they shower themselves in s*** rather than glory eh?

No doubt many others will try to use it for their own personal agendas pointing fingers here there and everywhere - just like largely all the tosspots in our parliament were doing - pretty much all of them just maneuvering for their own interests rather than at least trying to start to lead the world in beginning to address one of the issues of our time.

and speaking of prats pressing their own agendas - sky news dragging out dunny can and McDoughnut to yet again press their own agendas just piled more s*** on a mountain of s***.

lets hope this is the low mark for our parliament - but I doubt it.

Truss FFPM ('failed former Prime Minister' lol) in the US trying to trump up donations and support from the US right wing to 'buy a bigger bazooka'

Well at least she's in the right place (Quelle Surprise) to buy one - just needs the money now - and an import license.

What about Giuliani?

Well at least they finally admit it!

Why?

Related question: If Johnson cares so much about Ukraine, why is he backing Trump who doesn't back the country and is a friend of Putin?

Dont worry it was just:

I need more funds to promote my challenge to become tory leader and leader of the UK again in 5 or more likely 10 or 15 years when the british plebs will have forgotten all about my lies, corruption, self serving and cronyism.

I promise I will get UK taxpayer money to you and priority Visas to your people if you give me loadsamoney now - on my honor ...

 

.. err so lets see if I've got this right - you want loadsamoney unofficially with no records from my public now - which is mine, for the possible prospect of you ripping off your public for my benefit if you win in 10 or 15 years - and we are both alive - and you give me YOUR word?

Mind you, Mr P. says he will give me twice as much as i give you as he want incompetent self-serving crooks in the UK kicking up problems - far cheaper than even just a single jet - and a million times more damaging to the west

and a mere pittance compared to what hes investing in Trump and Victor

Handcock handled COBRA meetings competently, while Johnson was 'scatty, incoherent and rambling'

 

"When Matt Hancock chaired meetings of Cobra there was administrative efficiency and it was a matter of regret that the same could not be said for the meetings chaired by Mr Johnson, who you describe as ‘scatty, incoherent and rambling’"

Cleverly welcomes deal signed at global fraud summit in London as 'massive step forward'

All G7 countries, as well as Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and South Korea, have signed a new agreement to tackle international fraud. The deal was signed at a global fraud summit hosted by the home secretary, James Cleverly. The Home Office said in a news release

 

- Just in time despite a decade plus of delay on this. We certainly dont want to leave the next Labour Government and its MPs with the options of enriching themselves at the publics expense like Tory MPs and VIPals have for the last 14 years.

Now we know why he went to Venezuela and who with.

fiddling with dictators to enrich himself at anyone and everyone elses expense- along with Gove and Truss - sounds about right

[unclebulgaria67]

The more I hear and read about these type of endeavours, just makes me think that many become MP's not to serve constituents interests, but to find ways to increase personal wealth.

And many MP's who are likely lose their seats at the election are most likely really wanting to lose, so they can spend time accumulating wealth, rather than dealing with the day to day problems of ordinary people who are just trying to survive.

Time for a total change to electoral system. What about the 200 MP's with smallest majorities facing an election within say 3 years. And much more scrutiny by ethics and standards watchdogs, who can trigger referendums in constituencies to see if people want chance to vote out the MP.

half a year, half a year, half a year onward, All into the revolving doors laughed and lied the 300

 

“Forward, the Lightweight Brigade!”

Was there a man dismayed?

Yes - and the poopcons knew

   Someone had blundered.

   Excuses the only reply,

   Theirs not to reason .. why?

   Theirs but to fiddle and lie

   Into revolving doors

   Rode the three hundred.

 

Flashed some their sabres bare,

Flashed as they turned in air

Flashing the junior staff there,

Charging an arm and leg,

the nation they plundered.

Profited from oil burn choke

All through the lies they stoked;

Lawyers and morals

Reeled from the mirrors and smoke

   Shattered and sundered.

Then some revolved back, but not

   all the three hundred.

 

Troughs to right of them,

Troughs to left of them,

Troughs front and behind them

   gorging and plundered;

Gorged at with smut and smell,

While ordinary people fell.

because They had lied not well

Revolved through the doors of Lords,

or to the board of Shell,

All that was left of them,

   Left of three hundred.

 

Can their inglory fade?

Or the wild charges they made!

   All the world wondered.

Charge back the charges they made!

Lock up the Lightweight Brigade,

   Corrupt three hundred!

Boris Johnson and his court brought an already corrupt system to new lows. Can ethics be restored to politics?

 

[tobyjugg2]

as long as Johnson (The corrupt liar) doesn't make money from it - might take a look although it unlikely to tell the obnoxious corrupt lying cronyistic whole

- and NO, trust cant be restored, we all know that now Johnsonon has taken us to new depths, any improvement will be temporary at best until the next Johnson/Truss/Badenough/Bridgen/Farage/Tice/Anderson/Smugg Tossus Potus sees a few quids benefit in dragging it further down - or in some cases it seems - just because they can

The decisions Britain made re the Suez crisis were likely of bigger import to the world than Brexit, but other than that - I largely agree

Another tory legacy: The most expensive and disruptive muddy pond in history

With its route map pruned, leaders in the north want other options, while in the capital, questions are growing over its Euston terminus – still a giant hole in the ground ...

... the vanished buildings, parks, trees, pubs and half of Drummond Street. Portholes on the hoardings that line the way to the remaining south Asian restaurants allow a view on to a mothballed site where a muddy Euston pond is forming.

[tobyjugg2]

20 million quid on just the brokering fee for a crappy deal with the UK public hocked to pay more for PPE - which was probably useless with better and cheaper per item with no 20 million quid fee - available from alibaba

Stinks of corruption to me.
