Seen people theorising that there is photographic evidence still to drop. Hard to imagine that no one took a photo.

Where is Johnson? He come out, front this, explain his actions and finally admit what’s happened. But he won’t because he’s a cowardly liar that’s been found out. 
 

He is hiding behind this Sue Gray inquiry because he think it’ll kick it into the long grass and people will forget by the time she reports. That’s why he just repeats that line about the inquiry and shows the contempt he holds all of us in.

Some Tory back bencher getting torn to shreds on bbc politics live at the moment trying to defend Johnson.  Senior Tories have all gone to ground. What a farce

I don’t understand. What’s the benefit of kicking the can down the road? Surely it just exacerbates the public mood?

Trying to buy more time to come up with more lies? At some point the conservatives just have to chuck Boris under the bus surely? He’s too dirty now.

Everyone that aligns with Johnson ends up burnt. The Tories are cowards for not getting rid of Johnson.

Problem for the Tory’s I’m imaging is it won’t just be Boris there … there’s a good chance of a leadership candidate being there too …

Yes as @Ozannesaid, they are cowards. It’s probable that Cummings is sitting on more damning evidence that will sink Johnson. The reason Johnson was so reluctant to sack him back in the barnard castle episode

It should be country over Party.

Please not my man Dishy Rishy...  Really gunning for him to be next leader.

Is that gunning or gurning ?

This is so damaging for the entire Tory Party, some of the defences are just laughable.

Put this guy in charge (my sexy MP)

 

glad its rayner putting the question, she doesn't hold back.

The thing I really love about Johnson is that you know, no matter what he says or how things seem, that the next self made crisis is just around the corner.

This is the pay off for those of us who've sat through his shit show for the last two+ years.

[Guest]

The government’s response today is one massive exercise in gaslighting, just saying wait for the inquiry is basically saying what you are feeling right now is irrelevant.

Normally Gove will go out and defend them no matter what they've done. If even he's keeping a low profile you know they've really fucked up.

Michael Fabricant was wheeled out on R5 earlier.  The producers must love him at times of crisis.

"Who can we get to come on who'll make things worse?"

"That guy who looks like Boris has been left too close to the heater"

We should send Michael Eavis 

I can think of a long list of people I'd send to face down Johnson over a kindly Methodist from Somerset. 

Alistair Campbell would be good. 
Frankie Boyle would be box office. 
Stewart Lee would be my first choice. 
What I'd really like to see is someone with a real air of menace about them intimidating fuck out of him.

I’d pay good money to see Austin give Johnson a Stunner.

I wonder if we'll get a covid press briefing later today on absolutely no changes to restrictions but get a booster.

I really don't think they'll be wanting to take questions from the media today.

I'd like to see it though 🤣

I think even the ones who are gagging to be PM might hold off on a leadership challenge right now. Boris has fucked them over so much, nobody will want to clear up the mess he's made.

My job might be shit, but at least I'm not Paymaster General
