I think it's all going to come out now...

[Kwacky]

Lots of senior Tories have had enough.

Owen Paterson was called a c'nt to his face in Westminster by another Tory MP.

There are no doubt a few Tories who can smell blood.

[StMarks]

Even John Major has openly broadcast his disdain for the conduct of the current crop of crooks holding sway.

Fwiw I suspect that there are many Conservatives who would favour a short period in opposition,,,,,,

,,, so that they will have others they can blame for the coming era.. Currently they have been in power for so long, that there is not much they can do to shirk the responsibility.

Any opposition would do well to position themselves as the friend of SME businesses. Many do not see this Government as their friend.

I suspect Johnson's next move is a brexit trade war

[duke63]

I suspect Johnson's next move is a brexit trade war

And that will turn business against him even more.

A trade war will be his last throw of the dice,in my opinion. We cannot afford it and it will certainly turn more Tories against him.

All this messing about is stopping confidence in businesses investing, I wish he would go and play elsewhere do after dinner speeches or something

Both the Mail and the Express turning on the Government this morning.

[C00kiemonster]

I wonder which **** they have lined up to replace the clown then...

[Jack]

I can't imagine anyone sane wanting to preside over the current sh!tshow

Out of interest, what did he do that was illegal?

[StMarks]

...Out of interest, what did he do that was illegal?

That ^ is the issue.

[duke63]

Does he have to be illegal for it to be the incorrect thing to do?

He is paid to be an MP by the taxpayer...it would appear that was the last thing on his mind.

[Perkles]

The lot of them are incompetent and useless and have one agenda which is to line their own nests, including the opposition

[D41]

What is illegal is usually fairly cut & dried....what is correct/incorrect, etc. in many instances is just a matter of opinion.
Phrases like "taking advantage of lockdown rules" cut both ways.

It looks like Starmer is starting to wake up from his long slumber and show some teeth. PMQs were interesting today.

[C00kiemonster]

Even he might be able to make some political capital out of the sleeze debate going on presently...
