I am not a party biased man, have voted for both major party's in the past, But what Johnson did was unspeakable, the contempt he showed towards the electorate, especially the poor souls who couldn't go to hospital to see a dieing relative is about as low as you can get, and then to continually lie to Parliament is abhorrent, all the victims that never got to say goodbye to their, family members, should have a free hit at Johnson's sarcastic face.

PS, i am not saying Starmer is any better but that is not the point.

“That’s a joke son, I say, that’s a joke.” “Nice boy, but he’s sharp as a throw pillow.” “He’s so dumb he thinks a Mexican border pays rent” “ “Son… I say, son, some people are so narrow minded they can look through a keyhole with both eyes.”__ Forhorn Leghorn

I can't take anyone seriously who still defends the buffoon - he's shown utter contempt for the populace on so many occasions, and the shamelessness of people still happy to lap that up genuinely blows my mind.

I understand politics is tribal and most people pick a side, but f*ck me that has to have a limit somewhere.

I suggested that he might be one of the multitude of lefties infesting our universities.

How do you know what his politics are?

You think that teaching posh stuff makes you a Tory?

Simple minded as usual.

its beyond a political point, its just decency, integrity, dignity, principles and Honour, features that many MPs lack, but Boris is completely devoid of any.

JVs can say whatever they like, but they don't hold the truth. They only hold an opinion, because others obviously disagree.

I am talking about what I perceive as unequivocal truths. You are free to dismiss this as just my opinion, but not me. I think the evidence is solid and cannot be nuanced. That's not fanaticism, which is uncritical zeal for a position, even when there is evidence and reasons to question it. When I see no actual evidence to justify anything, as with Johnson's defence of himself, then I believe it can safely be dismissed.

I am very sorry to hear of your losses. Johnson's behaviour must feel really personal to you.

There is now straw grasping by the hangers-on as the populist ship sinks.

Rees-Mogg would never have got beyond the back benches as some kind of comic throwback without Johnson wanting him to charm the blue rinses.

I hope this is the pivot point for the Tory Party and we now see it return to a sensible middle-ground position where it could potentially command a majority. Brexit was a special set of circumstances, with the consequences now laid bare. I hope they quickly dump their allegiance to it, distance themselves from the right, blame it all on UKIP, Farage, and Johnson, and be prepared to accept coalitions.

This could well turn out to be a landmark day in British politics.
