pellinore Posted June 9 #2 Share Posted June 9 (edited) He is hoping to escape justice. I don't think it will work, he will still be held accountable for his crimes committed while in office. First Donny getting his ass kicked, now Johnson! What fun! How fitting that on the day Boris Johnson’s ‘honours’ list is published, the man who dishonoured the office of Prime Minister steps down as an MP after receiving the findings of the Privileges Committee.

That stuff stops being funny when it STARTS being you or your party. I'm going on record right now to predict a total collapse of our electoral system next year. Both sides will balk at the results, especially if Trump were to win. The Left would enlist their shock troops (Antifa/BLM) and flood the cities with "protests". The Right, won't get into the streets, we'll do something far more effective. Civil disobedience on a MASSIVE scale. The DC Shutzstaffel doesn't have enough troops to deal with tens of thousands or more who simply give DC the middle finger and walk away laughing. 2 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why Americans are so angry, once you have got your populist lunatic safely behind bars you can start to re-build your great country again. Imagine if he had been like Johnson, and you found yourselves unable to trade profitably with Canada, Mexico, and other countries on your border and having to make trade deals the other side of the world, and that all his promises to revitalise and "Level Up" the country were found to be empty sound bites to fire up the so -called patriots who kept him in office. Johnson has left the UK in a worse economic mess than it was in at the end of the second World War. 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still Waters Posted June 10 Author #8 Share Posted June 10 (IP: Staff) · Partygate panel to 'promptly' publish inquiry report after Boris Johnson quits as MP A report into whether Boris Johnson misled MPs over his partygate assurances will be published "promptly" after the former prime minister's decision to dramatically quit the Commons. The Commons Privileges Committee said the cross-party panel of MPs will meet on Monday to complete its inquiry. The development comes after Mr Johnson launched a blistering attack on the Conservative-majority committee, comparing it to a "kangaroo court" and a "witch hunt", as he announced his intention to stand down as an MP and trigger an immediate by-election. Labour has called Mr Johnson a "coward", saying he "jumped" before any decision was handed down by the Privileges Committee. https://www.itv.com/news/2023-06-10/partygate-panel-to-publish-inquiry-report-after-boris-johnson-quits-as-mp 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still Waters Posted June 10 Author #11 Share Posted June 10 (IP: Staff) · Rishi Sunak is facing a third by-election after a close ally of Boris Johnson said he is stepping down from the Commons with "immediate effect". Conservative MP Nigel Adams has announced he is following the former prime minister and former culture secretary Nadine Dorries out the door of Westminster. The MP for Selby and Ainsty previously said he would quit at the next general election. But in a tweet on Saturday, he said the Selby Conservatives had selected an "excellent new parliamentary candidate" and he has today "informed the chief whip that I will be standing down as a Member of Parliament with immediate effect". https://news.sky.com/story/boris-johnson-ally-nigel-adams-to-stand-down-as-mp-with-immediate-effect-triggering-third-by-election-12899994 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldorado Posted June 13 #14 Share Posted June 13 Boris Johnson will reportedly be found on Wednesday to have deliberately misled MPs over parties in Downing Street during the pandemic. The Privileges Committee has rejected the former prime minister’s defence that senior officials advised him Covid rules and guidance had been followed in No 10, according to the Times. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/privileges-committee-finds-boris-johnson-deliberately-misled-parliament-report/ar-AA1csKVI?

Now there's another twist: In a statement, Mr Johnson said: “Bernard Jenkin has just voted to expel me from Parliament for allegedly trying to conceal from Parliament my knowledge of illicit events. “Now it turns out he may have for the whole time known that he himself attended an event – and concealed this from the Privileges Committee and the whole House for the last year. “To borrow the language of the committee, if this is the case, he ‘must have known’ he was in breach of the rules. “He has no choice but to explain his actions to his own committee, for his colleagues to investigate and then to resign.”Lord Peter Cruddas, a Tory donor who Mr Johnson elevated to the Lords, called for the police to investigate.
