Westminster Politics

To anyone who is just oh so very proud of our PM for his brave trip to Kyiv, who believes it was anything more than a theatrical photoshoot with Volodomiyr Zelensky as the latest honest party sullied by him, take a read of this thread to see what substantive actions we’re actually doing for Ukrainian refugees…

Crispin Blunt. Wow.

Well I suppose we don't know whether he's wrong or not. But since he doesn't explain what he means and doesn't even say something along the lines of "here's why I can't explain", and of course he's a Tory so probably a lying sack of expired foie gras, I'm willing to assume he is wrong. And a cnut.

Never would a spoonerism be more appropriate.

Which is funny because “wage growth” was a massive talking point for them 6 months ago.
Don't think I'll vote in the locals. Was willing enough to look in to it but my options are Lib Dem, Tory, former Lib Dem Independent and Labour. I don't get the impression the Labour candidate is even attempting a proper run as I can barely find any information about her online, so realistically giving her my support would only be for the sake of Starmer's national vote share and I'm not about to do that at a time Labour is calling for tougher action on climate protestors.
How’s he going to wriggle out of this one?
Pretty transparent why he was in Ukraine this week then.

Not the best of weeks for Rishi 
The sting has been taken out of it, met have done them a huge favour.
Sceptical that Johnson will resign, because he will use the Ukraine situation as a shield/excuse
You'd think this would finish Johnson and possibly Sunak but nope...they'll hand on.
One could be on record to say 'you voters are dimwits' and yet a sizable minority would still defend the Tories.

Honestly, Ukraine happening was the best thing for him which is just sad
Same with Covid lets be honest, brexit should have destroyed him
Proroguing parliament in 2019 should have finished him
Seen suggestions that Sunak could really heap the pressure on Johnson by resigning himself now.
So if Johnson deserves to be fined, does that not mean he lied to parliament?
Johnson lied to parliament?! When?! There’s going to be huge repercussions for this I’m sure.
Its just all so corrupt, really hard to stomach this.
Johnson has lied to parliament multiple times, it comes natural to him. Wonder if we will see the letters of no confidence going in to the 1922 committee.
You're finished Sunak you slimey little git.
Give it Tugendhat ‘til end of the season!
Democracy in the UK is rarely about voting for anything other than denying the worst option. Make peace with the fact that your vote is best used preventing what you don’t want to happen, rather than expecting to vote for someone who strongly represents your own ethics and views. Always vote tactically.
That was still the right thing to do. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day

Course parliament isn't sitting this week, and BoZo is in Ukraine. All nice of them to make sure it's of as little political damage as possible.
Why keep bothering with pretence , the voters will still vote for them - they may as well call themselves the Criminal party and be done with it.

CON +3
I’m sure UK police would never do anything in any way underhand…
Here he comes…
Part of me wants them both to hang on until the may local elections. Just to test this theory, if nothing else.
They will, they know they can ride out these storms and recover. The publics memory is short.
Lads, they're your betters, suck it up! 
Console yourself that they've been fined at all to make it look like "see?, see?, the rules apply equally to everyone!"

BoJo is invincible but hopefully this’ll lead to Sunak being sucked down the drain.
