Pure dead cat nonsense that.

I’m really glad that Starmer’s speech is getting such good plaudits for across the political spectrum, it was that good and hopefully more people will warm to him as they see it on the news.

Johnson going to offer Ukraine £88mill to tackle corruption. 🤣

So...the Starmer-Saville thing is obviously a strategy...doesn't matter if untrue...get it out there. Tory Scum.

He has form in doing that as well. I wasn’t a big fan of Corbyn but Johnson was openly lying and slandering him during the last election. If it resonates enough to smear his opponent and lose them votes, truth be damned, and quite honestly more fool the electorate who fall for it.

Good old Stever Baker and co...now they have a Net Zero Scrutiny Group...and no doubt they will work hard to manoeuvre the govt away from net zero policies.

the saville line was used in far-right facebook groups with links to q anon... they're really scrapping the barrel here

Andrew Mitchell MP bloke likened Johnson to battery acid corroding the tory party more and more the longer he stays...

It's all very similar to the tactics leave use in Brexit referendum which Trump then adopted. Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the conversation. The fact Truss and Raab have both refused to outright say whether it's true or not just shows they know its a lie. 

Just find it very sad this is the direction politics is going in and annoyingly it actually seems to be a successful strategy.

Wouldn't you expect a cabinet minister to test in the morning before she squished in between the Home Secretary and the Heath Secretary to listen to her bullshitting boss?

It's not all that new. It's a tactic referred to as 'the big lie'. Goebbels was a big fan (may well have invented it).

Tories, Trump and Nazis. Always knew they had something in common with each other.

Not sure slandering an experienced solicitor is their best look?

I find it all very disheartening.  Boris will hold on as long as possible.  He will probably survive any confidence vote but, even if he doesn't, we'll still have a Tory government, albeit under a different leader  A General Election is still two years away.

No one slanders my beloved Keir and gets away with it.

I mean, there is a school of thought that the longer he stays leader, the more damage to the tory party and to his potential successor...so long may it continue...King Boris!

Also they all like to blame all societies problems on an outside group
