Today is a good day to remind you that Brexit was fought for and won by a bunch of right wing, entitled, rich, corrupt liars, helped by a lying corrupt media, Russian money and organised criminality
Hello
@metpoliceuk
- you have been saying for weeks that there is no evidence to investigate. You now have it from the lips of the Prime Minister. Or the defendant as he should become
Watching porn at work bad enough. When workplace is the Commons, mind-blowing. But to do it, where people are literally able to look down on you from the press and public galleries, with cameras around,suggests thickness that could see them get a Cabinet post quite soon
Am I the only one feeling ashamed to be British that this gibbering inarticulate walking parody is the Prime Minister? This is embarrassing to watch. He has lost the basic power of speech
Trying to get my head round the
@metpoliceuk
saying they don’t pursue crimes ‘retrospectively’ as Step 1 in ‘no further action to be taken’ re criminal parties in No 10. How many criminal acts are not in the past? What a ludicrous country we are becoming with Johnson in No 10.
Telegraph reporting as fact that Kamikwazi and Tross are planning to cut the value of benefits to the poorest“to reassure the markets” they can fund the scrapping of the 45p tax rate … these people are disgusting
My fear about
@BorisJohnson
ever getting near the position he now holds was that he would do irreparable damage both to our standing in the world and to standards in public life. We are witnessing national decline live on TV and it is painful and stomach churning to watch
Quite remarkable to hear Johnson spell out what a great leader he was and how much he delivered … a fantasist as he arrived and a fantasist as he leaves. The worst PM in history. He leaves the country in a mess and politics with standards debased
Isn’t it great to be from a country where a child born in Canada to Romanian and Chinese parents can come to Britain aged two and become a 🇬🇧 national heroine within 16 years? Let’s try and keep the country that way shall we
@pritipatel
?
They don’t. Believe me. Why do you talk such utter shite? And why are you morphing into a sovereign individual
anarcho-capitalist narcissist with fascist leanings? Some journey you’ve been on.
Johnson thinks he is Churchill, hence the appeal of a comeback. He is a poor man’s Berlusconi. The fact Tory MPs are even thinking about it shows how utterly deluded and detached from reality they are. The country cannot be shot of them a day too soon. All of them
Memo to the BBC. Stop playing the game your enemies want you to. Relegate the Huw E story so low down the bulletins it disappears. Lead them on the story of a former PM who said he would hand over all his texts to an inquiry failing to do so in defiance of a court order 1/2
Why are
@skynews
playing pictures of Johnson in Ukraine every time they discuss him rather than pictures of times he told lies. Broke laws. And killed people through his corruption and incompetence ?
Worth remembering that one of the reasons the Sovereign Individuals like
@RishiSunak
were so keen on Brexit was that the EU was hellbent on cracking down on tax avoidance, offshore activities, and general non-dommery ...
The Tory Party elected Johnson as leader. The Tory Party elected Truss as leader. Between them they have come close to destroying this country. Never forgive. Never forget. And when these MPs get rid of her (as they will do shortly) we cannot allow the Tory Party to choose 1/2
New Education Minister, gives a middle finger salute to members of the public outside Downing Street. If there is one image that captures everything that is wrong with this Government- it’s this.
Wake to news we are spending hundreds of millions on red tape to deal with border checks that were never going to happen because we had an oven ready deal and they needed us more than we needed them. Utter madness. Brexit the worst act of self harm by a single country ever
Something pathetic about dozens of middle-aged not very bright men and women (Tory MPs) tweeting cut and paste joy and expecting congratulations for taking away the rights of young people to travel, work and live in some of the greatest, safest, most prosperous countries on earth
If Johnson is still in office by the end of today, then we have to accept our political and constitutional systems are not fit for purpose. And that the Tory Party is intellectually corrupt and morally bankrupt.
Philip Schofield lied about an affair and you’d think from some in the media it was the biggest thing to happen since the Queen died. Johnson has also lied about affairs. But more importantly he lied to deliver Brexit, lied to become PM, lied to win an election, and lied 1/2
If you live in Wakefield please vote LABOUR. If you live in Tiverton please VOTE Lib Dem. This is the worst PM and worst government in history and any time any of us have a chance to weaken them and hasten their end we should seize it.
Hey
@RishiSunak
apparently you want to give people the kind of opportunities your family were given in being welcomed to the UK. So when can we expect a promise to reverse the Rwanda policy? And can we also have a crackdown on non doms please? Thanks. Have a nice day
I cannot think of any other government in Europe or any part of the developed world that would allow their equivalent of Windermere to be treated as a cesspit. This whole rotten stinking useless government has got to go
Has Sharp resigned yet? Have the police visited Mone yet? Has Johnson been told to pay his own legal fees yet? Have we got to the truth about LebedevJohnson yet? Has Sunak told Johnson and Truss that there will be no resignation honours yet? Or are we happy with BananaRepublic?
Hello
@BBCNews
@SkyNews
@itvnews
@GMB
why the news blackout on the massive queues of lorries heading to the Channel? I would have thought major economic damage and industrial inconvenience caused by new red tape due to a political choice falls within definition of newsworthy
Truss being so useless, and Johnson having made himself the centre of attention for a couple of days and made millions feel sick at the idea he might come back, means Sunak as PM will be greeted with relief by many. But this is one very right wing guy we are talking about. 1/3
Johnson should not be allowed to stay a minute beyond the decision to go. Caretaker should be appointed. He should not be allowed to use Chequers to write books at our expense. He should not be allowed to deliver resignation honours to put more spies, crooks, donors in the Lords
Why are Zahawi and Braverman stories not all over every news bulletin, as they would be if they were ministers in a non Tory government in a country with a genuinely free media ?
The reason Johnson won’t go btw is that he is a sociopath. He literally has no concern for other people, has zero moral compass and he feels no shame. So the pressure has to be maintained.
Meanwhile, in a well-run country where just 22 have died, normality resumes, because of swift, bold, decisive action by a proper, capable, empathetic, serious, non-lying Prime Minister Compare
@BorisJohnson
and
@jacindaardern
, and, if you're a Brit, weep
So from what I can gather from the media - Johnson loathes Sunak and feeling is mutual. They all can’t stand Truss who is messing up N Ireland for her leadership ambitions. And they’re all blaming the Bank of England and Europe for everything. There you go. No need to read papers
This, ladies and gentlemen, is the story that should be leading the news. And which the police should be involved in. An attempted cover up of woeful decisions that helped contribute to loss of life. And the media in the main couldn’t give a toss. Because Huw Edwards. Ffs
Like virtually everyone else, I know absolutely nothing about the events that have led to the statement by Huw Edwards’ wife. But I do know that he is a superb broadcaster. I know too that he has a long history of depression. He and I have spoken about it often, including in 1/4
Jesus!
@BorisJohnson
says he was only aware of the free school meals campaign today. The Tory MP who chairs the education select committee has been on this for weeks. How on earth does this clown fill his day?
A fit and well Prime Minister missing five crisis Cobra meetings because he was at Chequers is a bit like a football manager missing FA cup final, premier league decider, a two legged champions league semi final, and final, because he fancied working on his golf handicap.
So no US trade deal. Another of the big Brexit lies nailed. And on they go pretending it is going to plan, going well, can be made to work and none of our economic problems have anything to do with it. Liars and charlatans. They should never be allowed anywhere near power again
The turd is being flushed. Rejoice …. Deluded ever to think he could be back. Good riddance to the worst PM in history of all those who lasted more than 44 days.
Media should not broadcast pre recorded messages by Johnson. Without the chance for journos or MPs to question it is propaganda designed purely to distract from all the detritus he and his amoral character have created
Sorry
@bbclaurak
simply not the case that nobody could have foreseen how quickly this would develop, as you are reporting Number 10 as saying. Other countries did see what was coming and dealt with it better. It was laziness and sloth and cavalier nationalist exceptionalism
It took longer to elect her through that absurd leadership contest than she has been Prime Minister. They are a global joke dragging this country’s reputation ever lower
Incredible to have this eye-watering energy crisis and a government that is totally absent. A lame duck PM on the razz at our expense. Lishi Trunak talking absolute crap to nightly meetings with golf club bores. Ministers absent without leave. Incredible. They all have to go
I know journalists and Labour MPs don’t like the B-word. But next time
@RishiSunak
is in front of a camera, I really do think the Q needs to be asked: why did you think OK to reserve the right to live and work in US while removing right of UK people to live and work in EU? 1/2
Farage calls for Parliament to be recalled. That is the Parliament he couldn’t be bothered to turn up to when ministers were taking questions on Southport but preferred to do a video saying he was worried questions weren’t being answered, throwing in a conspiracy theory or two en
As Johnson has declared COVID over, no excuse now for the public inquiry into why he went AWOL at the start, why care homes were sacrificed, why the initial PPE supply was woeful, why so much mixed messaging, why so much corruption and waste, and where the money has gone
Well that was wonderful …
@Miriammargolyes
speaks for millions … FUCK YOU Tories … great moment in the history of the decline of this wretched government … no need to apologise
@BBCr4today
…
Well done the people of Shropshire North. Real British values are striking back against the disgusting aberration that has replaced them under the corrupt Brexit cabal.
Hearing very interesting discussions going on inside Buck House about how to stop Johnson debasing the Queen once more with resignations honours. He should not be allowed to have them. Full. Stop.
Fine for media to cover interviews with people whose journeys and businesses are affected by rail strike. But I wouldn’t mind seeing an interview with a train cleaner who has kids explaining how the cost of living crisis is hitting them on wages falling so far behind inflation
Quite extraordinary that Johnson told at least five lies in Parliament yesterday (used to be a resigning offence) and most of the media has not even bothered to report it, let alone with the fury it merits. This is the normalisation of lying. Same with corruption. 1/2
Scenes at Edgbaston where India are playing Pakistan but people are watching the England game.

@BorisJohnson
exchanges becoming embarrassing. Serious v trivial. Detailed v bluster. Fact v lies. Johnson was the worst foreign secretary of modern times. Now without doubt the worst PM.
Mmm. I’m beginning to think Sunak might be well out of his depth too. This is shaping up to be a good Cabinet reshuffle … for the Opposition. He had the chance to signal the competence, compassion and integrity he promised, which has been so absent in recent PMs. 1/3
Neither she nor Johnson should be allowed a resignation honours list. They have no honour. They have disgraced and debased an office they should never have held.
People being arrested for holding up placards, and even for saying they might, amid a vast sea of support from public and media, is about as unbritish as it gets. The most right wing government in our history might think this is sensible. But I cannot believe the new King does.
Calling HM 🫅…. Can Gordon Brown be PM please while Johnson is on his taxpayer funded honeymoon, Zahawi on holiday, and Truss and Sunak have their never ending bollocks-talking sessions with golf club bores?
And what does it say about how Johnson’s latest wife that she thinks the Cabinet Room is hers to decide there should be a party in there? No respect for institutions, no respect for history, no interest in anything but their own leisure, pleasure and power.
The politics of our country, once respected around the world, has been totally corrupted by wilful negligence by its own government. Brexit is a fraud.
@borisJohnson
is a fraud
Do we still hold all the cards
@BorisJohnson
@michaelgove
? Is it still the easiest deal in human history
@LiamFox
@DavidDavisMP
? Are we having our cake and eating it or are we spaffing a country up against a wall? I hope you are all very proud of your lies and incompetence
I wonder if picking up three months taxpayer-funded severance payment for getting sacked from a job you did for a few weeks and then getting the job back six days later is the kind of thing a Tory government might want to crack down upon. What a shower of absolute charlatans
The Tories. Eleven years. Three PMs. Achieved little. Destroyed a lot. Still blaming. Still avoiding responsibility. Still focused on party not country.
I don't think there is another head of government in the world who would be as ill-informed about the government's own policies and guidance as this ... it is shameful. Humiliating for Britain. People all over the world watching this fucking conman
To think the poor guy had to pretend he flies economy … hard not to feel sorry for him. Until you remember he is a lying, lawbreaking, immoral charlatan who has trashed the UK reputation, made us poorer, weaker and less respected in the world, and cares only about himself.
357 deaths - looking like it will be another day when UK death toll higher than the rest of the Europe combined. Day after day, the consequence of
@borisjohnson
catastrophic failure and incompetence exposed. All over the world, other governments have got on top of this, not ours
I know the inevitable demise of a PM is newsworthy. But so are the huge queues at Dover and Calais caused by a previous set of lies from the Brexit Charlatan and his corrupt cabal
Sorry I can’t watch any more of this. It is a global embarrassment that a man who can barely string two sentences together and is so woefully informed on key domestic and global issues is the Prime Minister.
In refusing to accept his wife’s business dealings are relevant to his work as Chancellor in time of war and sanctions
@RishiSunak
operating a new version of ‘one rule for us and one rule for the plebs.’ If this was a Labour chancellor the media would be in kill mode
Fancy being an MP with a massive majority for over a decade and barely a soul outside your own town has heard of you until you’re caught watching porn in the House of Commons?
Hello
@nadhimzahawi
- good to hear I am getting right under your skin. Getting lots of media bids asking me to to respond to your rants about me this morning. FYI I have barely even started yet!! That you can continue to prop up this lying crook who debases everything 1/3
Apparently the Sunak government is not remotely bound by the decisions of the Truss government. Hence the sacked Braverman returns six days later. So how about King Charles now goes to COP. Be good if the world saw a UK leader who cared about the environment.
Very revealing to hear
@BorisJohnson
and then
@NicolaSturgeon
addressing the Coronavirus issue. She sounds concerned but clear. He sounds bored and bumbling. I cannot be the only one who feels slightly ashamed of the U.K. every time I hear him described as PM
