Lycra Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 22 minutes ago, steviewevie said: I expect won't be a smoking gun that sinks Johnson, and I don't reckon MET will get involved. It will be a lessons need to be learnt exercise. Also...I wonder if Starmer calling for Johnson to resign will make it more likely that Tory MPs get behind their dear leader. Not sure which is best for Starmer....let a gravely wounded Boris carry on until the next general election or ramp it up to the extent he's culled by his own party. A new Tory PM could be a much more serious electoral proposition 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t disagree with you but it’s a fucking dreadful state of affairs. The mans a walking argument for a republic. Sure Spaffers relieved people have something else to talk about for a couple of hours though! I'm not sure we will be footing the bill. He's just sold a ski chalet for £17m. My guess is the settlement would run into the millions, as he'll have to pay big for the kind of NDA he needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming the plaintiff will accept an out of court settlement 🤔 She may be wanting to make a huge statement on behalf of all women And I wouldn't try to dissuade her otherwise......

Ozanne Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 Exceptional performance by Starmer, he got every note correct with the right tone and had Johnson clearly rattled. Johnson had no answer. Starmer waiting till they had something on Johnson before calling for a resignation made those calls today much more impactful. It was his best PMQs.

I’ve seen a few comments to that effect from people who are not necessarily fans of Starmer. Will it cut through? Maybe? The panel on the politics show on BBC after PMQs - apart from the sole Tory - were livid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe? The panel on the politics show on BBC after PMQs - apart from the sole Tory - were livid. Who knows if it will, I’d say Johnson’s awful explanation will probably be what people are talking about. However people will potentially notice Starmer showing passion and fire which he hasn’t shown before so hopefully it will resonate slightly. Also have a look at his body language when Johnson was giving his statement - leaning forward, note taking, watching Johnson to adapt his thoughts and comments to trap Johnson. This is why having a former DPP as LOP was a good idea and this is why his methods will pay dividends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrshire Chris Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 Interesting that the Tory leader in Scotland, Douglas Ross and his predecessor Ruth Davidson have both called for Johnson to resign. An indication of the damage that Johnson is doing to the unionist vote up here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also applaud such a move, but I think it will get to the point where the offer is just too high to refuse, against a trial that could still go in Andrew's favour and leave her with nothing but huge legal bills.
