Re: Mike Bassett: England Prime Minister

There' has to be a time where Labour has to stop just attacking Boris , sleaze etc, bad Tories and say how they would do things better , come the election its about the substance of policies that will matter , at the moment this is playground politics and I'm sure it will gain some short term traction .

Have you heard of 'manifestos'?

They are this new thing where parties spell out their policy offers (just) before an election. Great idea!

"Shagatha Chrsitie" - brilliant stuff again from Ms Hyde, but she's deadly serious in her last sentence which is so, so right.

Always a great read. The mordant wit accentuating the sheer lunacy of it all.

Labour surged into a commanding nine-point lead over the Tories this weekend as controversies over rule-breaking Christmas parties at Downing Street and Tory sleaze plunged Boris Johnson into a battle to save his premiership.

The latest Opinium poll for the Observer also shows 57% of voters think Johnson should now resign, up nine points from a fortnight ago, as the prime minster appears to be haemorrhaging public support.

Johnson’s personal ratings have fallen to -35%, down 14 points from what was already a record low of -21% two weeks ago.

Imran Hussain MP

It's been alleged that Simon Case's office who are tasked with investigating the Christmas party scandal...hosted not one, but two Christmas parties.

We need an independent investigation, not a sham.

They think they can mark their own homework and take the public for fools.


Jim Waterson

Right so everyone in Westminster who had a lockdown-busting Christmas party is now just briefing against everyone else in Westminster who also had a Christmas party, in some sort of circular firing squad where executions are conducted with cheap prosecco.

tbf it always ends like this. If you have no moral integrity yourself then you end up recruiting people of similar virtues because they will work with you or the people you need to make you do the right thing don't want to have anything to do with you because they smell rats and have too much self respect. That's where Johnson is now and there is nobody with honour around to save him from himself!

In the interests of balance, and before James and LOM dive in, I think it is only fair to point out that some of the things said by Johnson at PMQs were not lies. Some of them....

Perhaps those lies were Platonic like Johnson insists a lot of his relationships are.
