Come on then...

What's gonna happen at PMQ's at midday?

A / Will he stick to the line that the party didn't happen? Explain the Allegra Stratton video as banter etc. Viable, just about, unless photo evidence emerged. Highly unlikely no one took a a photo if there were 40 people there, even if it was illicit. Papers would protect a source and pay them handsomely.

B / Acknowledge the party, say he was misled, have a night of the long knives moment and fire a load of people. Result is he looks stronger, at least for now. If he genuinely didn't know then this is the right thing, although it shows he doesn't know what is happening in his own backyard.

C / Admit he knew about it and misled people, explain that Covid has been hard on us all and offer to resign in the coming months and apologise for letting people down? Slim chance, honourable of sorts, would ruin his reputation and future career.

D / Push back at Labour. Highlight their inconsistencies and misdemeanours (of which there are some, but no where near as bad Covid wise) and accuse them of trying to undermine trust in the government and put lives at risk with a story that is a year old etc?

I can't think of a realistic alternative option.

I'm Voting for A, followed by D. Option B would be fun.

It's a weak B!

The new restrictions are the most obvious deflection tactic yet. Classless gimp of a man.

SNP leader landed a few blows there I think.

The thing is that the public fall for his bumbling bafoon nonsense time after time after time. This is the problem with politics and a problem with the plenty that don't engage, even though it's never been easier to access good solid information.

Plenty of people choose politicians based on their characteristics, and align them to themselves or what they find funny, charming, idiosyncratic etc. It doesn't seem to be about policy anymore.

Boris is a nasty piece of work, he cares only about himself, but never mind, he acts like a bumbling relative who has had one too many sherry's at wedding party. His behaviour is contrived to a certain degree, it's a smokescreen that has seen the bastard get away with plenty since his university days. No doubt he'll survive this.
Cue pleb fodder defending his actions on some shitty high street on the news tonight. Depending on the narrative of course.

He broadly survived that. No knock out blows, can hide behind an investigation and then fire whoever is found to have broken any rules.

Won't wash with the public much, but lives to fight another day.

I don't mind Starmer, he often wins PMQ's but he will be disappointed there a bit, I think.

The PM began by taking the wind out of Starmer's sails by stating his previous remarks were based on information he was given but that he had asked the Cabinet Secretary to enquire about the events on the 18 DEcember 2020 so that action could be taken against the individuals concerned. As a result Starmer failed to land a glove on Johnson. While I believe Johnson should resign there surely must be questions about Starmer's competence. He failed miserably to land a blow and the PM lives to fight another day.

Sunak is a snake oil salesman

He talks a good game though

Perfect replacement for Boris

Starmer has the strike power of runny cheese

Corbyn was crap , this bloke is even worse

Get rid

The very nature of PMQs allows the subject to be deflected. So many back bench Tories ask totally unrelated questions (as they're entitled to) but it certainly takes the wind out of the opposition's sails.
