Haven't been able to listen, what is this about a Saville comment

That's the point I don't think the opposition are making enough. Boris resigning is so urgent and so critical because he can't be trusted to deal with Russia/Ukraine and the cost of living crisis. 

Cost of living is obviously a huge issue for many but does Putin really care about Johnson or the UK?

Spaffer tried using it to deflect against Starmers onslaught.

I think that Putin's interest in the UK extends as far as this country is a haven for Russian money. If anything that makes us more amenable to him...

I thought Starmer quoting Thatcher at Johnson was a decent ploy.

Johnson looks defeated but he’ll come out fighting tomorrow/at PMQs.

Chance he will bail PMQs? Isn't he meant to be travelling to Eastern Europe?

Genuine question, may have been asked already but isn't it the job of the speaker to hold the PM to account to tell the truth?

Currently he's removing people for calling a liar a liar but allowing the liar to lie at will? Sound.

Meet you in the garden of No. 10

Do any of the cabinet not want to stand up and either ask a question or back him ? ... or does that not happen in such circumstances

You are allowed to lie but not allowed to call out the person that’s lying.

That doesn’t happen, Johnson is speaking on behalf of the government.

against the rules to call a liar a liar. Against the rules to lie too, but that's not been proven yet apparently.

Maybe not officially in relation to the parties etc but he's been a proven liar many times in the past, which he's also not been allowed to be called out on previously. It's such an archaic system.

Thank you.

On a much lighter note, Fabricant is covered in dandruff (watching on a bit of a delay!). An attempt to convince us it's not a wig?

Surely nobody would pay good money for a wig that bad? 😉

[squirrelarmy]

There’s reports that police have been handed a huge 500 page document of evidence including 300 pictures. 
 

This isn’t over yet

LOL I wish the Speaker would shut people down with their word vomit sycophant rhetoric more often.

He only shuts down people calling out liars. That whole aspect is a farce.
