Boris Johnson, former Prime Minister

This is worth a look

- although look closely as SOME of these extra curricula activities (at least at cursory glance) seem not just OK, but actually worthy

but some most certainly do not

Now this quote is one that Johnson and Frost should listen to

 

I think those ideas which are meant to make life easier on the business community in Northern Ireland, especially on the citizens on the island of Ireland, should be embraced by the British government, rather than talking about red lines.”

 

– The European Commission's vice president Frans Timmermans

briefly back to Paterson questions for cash:

 

"Mr Paterson would have been found to have broken the rules under any process that we create and we should not kid ourselves on that front.”

- Mark Fletcher, Conservative MP for Bolsover, and one of the MPs on the Standards Committee ... to Parliament

 

Its likely Johnsons plot was to drag out jury rigging a new 'standards committee' until the next election and give Paterson a seat in the house of Lords before it was done as a side benefit to his own protection from standards.

Is Rabb and Johnson throwing the whips to the dogs?

.. or is that (more likely ) Rabb set up ... with Johnson standing back ready to throw Rabb to the dogs should it backfire?

 

Sounds a bit dicey ... go for it

 

  • Dominic Raab has not denied that threats may have been made to revoke the constituency funding of Tory MPs who were minded to rebel against the government in the Owen Paterson lobbying row.
  • The deputy prime minister and justice secretary said spending decisions were not affected by the votes of individual MPs but was unable to rule out reports that the threats were made.

Tom Newton-Dunn of Times Radio: “Two different backbench Tory MPs tell me they have been approached by whips in the last 24 hours to tell them the Chief, Mark Spencer, was NOT the instigator of last week’s disastrous motion, but he was following direct orders from the prime minister. It means government whips have (officially or not) begun actively briefing against No 10”

 

Duhh - of course Johnson was the instigator of the motion ..

. the question is who was the instigator of the threat to withhold funds from MP's constituencies

 

Johnson of course will whoolly word a denial whether he did instigate it or not,

but the second question iswill the chief whip, or someone from Johnsons office take the fall - or will they all just try and ignore answering to the potentially criminal act of threatening the withholding of taxpayer money

The briefings could become confusing, or fun depending on your point of view.

 

From Angus B MacNeil, SNP MP.

 

'Have you wondered why suddenly today months later that Geoffrey Cox is the story??? ... Well a very well placed source tells me No10 leaked the Cox story to detract from Boris being the story!!!

“the dishonourable member for the Virgin Islands”. The former attorney general faces fresh allegations today that he used his parliamentary office to carry out private work.

- Mail

 

and lets not forget that some of Johnsons demands were too much even for Cox as attorney general - so prime meat to be thrown to the dogs as a (valid) distraction

 

IMO its just further examples of how corrupt the Tories under Johnson and his ilke are - not even a proper Tory there to give them a righteous handbagging

At the risk of normalising sleaze throufgh sheer volume of it ..

I see Dunnycan Smith has also been sleazily using his position as commitee chairs to forward his 'other employer' interests - and again at the expense of health and science (IMO)

 

WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM

Ex-Tory leader chaired government taskforce that recommended new rules benefiting firm he was employed by

 

 

Aside from the fact that he had a clear conflict of interest, the committee he chaired recommended the use of non alcohol based  hand gel as sold by his other employer - in stark contrast to the science which shows alcohol based hand gel vastly more effective than BKC (non-alcohol) hand gel as sold by his private employer

Conservative peer calls for special visa rules to cover EU au pairs. Terrible problem, obviously.

 

If they do that, perhaps they should revise the rules for students from the EU and UK students wanting to study in Europe.

Like that Tory MP saying they should be paid more as they were struggling to pay for a nanny on over 80,000 quid plus expenses

 

 

Can anyone explain to me why there seemed to have been well over 30 labour and snp MP's didn't vote against Johnson and Leadsoms sleaze protection amendment? ... More than enough to defeat the amendment - or that I've (hopefully) misread or misunderstood?

I think there will be a lot more revelations on Tory sleaze, talk on Twitter is that journos all over the media are digging up more dirt.

They can have the same allowance people get to use a room at home for work if they use their own - probably already do that as well

As Johnson the corrupt liar, PM who unlawfully prorogued parliament, breached requirements in PPE ordering, tries repeatedly to get his corrupt mates off, regularly lies at the dispatch box, awards peerages to family and funders  .. the list goes on
