Wtf they're not allowed to talk about the royal family?!

Yeah as it shouldn't be a political thing. Its like 'don't talk about your bosses in work meetings when they're not there'

Boris' rambling shouty answers aren't going to impress anyone who enjoys the bumbling fun guy routine.

Obviously still a bunch of loyal MPs giving him as much support as possible though.

Apparently Spaffer took out that photo of Starmer having a beer to try and prove a point?

The thing is, anyone who is following/backing Boris now isn't going to change. He's been like this in the House of Commons for a long while now, refusing to answer the questions and defecting to vaccine rollout. None of this matters.

I wonder if Bojo's performance, although desperate, will cut him some slack with those MPs deciding whether to send a letter to the Brady bunch....and then Gray inquiry will cut him a bit more slack and he'll be safe until the next thing.

Its all predictably boring  🙂. nothing to see here today it seems 🙂

I reckon a few are waiting to see what is said on face masks etc...

It's all about soundbites for headlines really... and on that front it's not been great for Boris.

Did anyone else hear Johnson suggest the inquiry was coming next week? I may have misheard/he may have made a mistake whilst flustered.

You mean the Gray inquiry? It's likely to be end of this week or some time next week I think.

Astonishing morning, a defection from Tory to Labour which hasn’t happened since 2007.

Starmer is clearly enjoying the current situation and it shows in his more laid back approach with humour added in. His last question though was spot on showing exactly what Labour would do to fix issues whilst the Tories are in disarray. 

This is a very astonishing day with a PM thats clearly out of time.

And up in Scotland even a bit of tactical voting could easily allow labour to regain some of their natural heartland in the central lowlands .  Corbyn just didn’t appeal to the voters in Scotland. 

Agreed. Winning back just a handful of seats again in Scotland could make a big difference.

Finally a Tory calling him out. 

[Crazyfool01]

His own party asking him to go in PMQs surely is unusual too ?

Thats the biggest thing that happened. Can't remember the last time thats ever happened.

Wee Rishi fucked off out the chamber like his arse was on fire. Obviously away to plan his leadership bid.

now no masks, I thought Johnson would retain them just to hide his face

David Davis just used his question to tell Johnson to go. Highest profile Tory yet to demand his resignation?

Truly astonishing. I think it is the highest profile one.

Going to be a hard few months whoever is leader, may as well let Bojo take the flak and then boot him out in the summer.

They can boot him out now and still blame him for as long as they like. See the previously used ‘Mess left over by the last Labour government’ defence.

I don’t know if it is. Judging by the cheers about masks no longer being needed, he may have bought himself some time.
