BJ outflanking Sir Keir in serial dumbness.

Why would you accept a donation from some Lord to have your flat done up.

You just can't do that sort of thing in his position.

Cue desperate tories saying it is above board.


This is all about local elections.

A laughable attempt by Labour and the Leftist media to create some 'bad news' about Boris at a time when things are getting positive.
Labour are already wiped out in the Commons and they are desperate for some claw back.

Predictable, pathetic and utterly tedious.

Accurate description,Sir Quere is becoming increasingly desperate and tedious.

Shame you don't care about lies, cronyism and misappropriation of public money.

All a lefty myth isn't it?

Which is all well and good but this ultimately boils down to a few fixtures and fittings. Wall paper.

There is so so much to hit Johnson with at the moment and yet Labour focus on trivialities? All because Labour are desperate to not lose Hartlepool.

Think about that. Labour being seriously worried about losing a seat in Hartlepool. To the Tories. After the best part of 10 years of Conservative Party rule?

This is desperate, desperate stuff. And with so much other crap to be thrown? The Tories must be secretly over the moon.

They should not even be in with a sniff of winning in Hartlepool. And these local council elections should be, in any conventional political metric, see them losing hundreds of seats.

Instead it will be considered a win for Starmer if he does not lose a constituency that has been Labour ever since it came into being and does not lose many local council seats.

Come on. Lets take a step back here and examine what this political reality is now.

So no Labour PM has been involved in such? Look no further than Blair, spent £350000 of taxpayers money on the flat. Introduced HR Act which made millions for HR lawyers, what was Mrs Blair’s occupation? Oh wait....

This is something you can’t just level at the Tories. Watch the rerun of DailyPolitics, Starmer and other Labour MPs were pathetic. Had no questions on the pandemic, policies... everything about Boris, who was adamant he has met the cost of everything

Definitely not, Johnson was squirming throughout.

The source of the funds he used he has not been answered, everybody seems to know it was Lord B.

There is already a public grant available to an incoming PM for refurbishment.

Tory MPs want to know too, they are getting fed up with it all the time.

I thought Starmer, although i think has been a very poor shot recently with such an easy target as Boris, had his spectacles on today.The way he let Boris skip over the first question over who paid for the decorating, only to make it easy with multiple choice, A,B,C or D, priceless. Boris looked shaken, I think this could be the beginning of the end for him,with lots more to come out of Cummings apparently, popcorn time.

Squirming? I’m not sure. Still shame the Labour Party have nothing else to question him on, presumably they are more than happy with present Tory policies. BJ seemed confident that he has personally met the costs, we shall see.
As I said before funny how people want to believe Cummings now, when this time last year he was the devil incarnate

Public money?

You must be confusing him with Tony Blair.

Cronyism is a fact of life. No one does it better than socialists.

Agreed. It's fair enough to highlight the issue and demand an inquiry but that stunt in John Lewis backfired it seems trivial to the issues that face this country and makes Johnson look statesmanlike.

 


One more point

Matov Flag 01 May 21 3.11pm

Polling out that suggests the Conservatives will make a gain of 90+ seats from Labour in Thursday's local council elections along with winning Hartlepool.

Not sure Starmer can survive if this proves correct.

Still suspect they will hang on in Hartlepool and that should save his job but lose it all bets are off.

Not necessarily Starmer's fault ... he is continually poorly advised by his legions of young, life inexperienced, university educated, know it all, to$$ers. Aside from that ...the man has no brain and we need to respect the mentally challenged.

Incidentally, how did he acquire a knighthood ... did he kill a dragon or something?

Starmer is actually highly intelligent and was the DPP.
Knighthood are commonplace now so ignore that.
I agree on him being poorly advised by the Woke brigade but he should no better.
His problem is that he is not a leader in any way, shape or form and he doesn't appear to be a man who people will follow.
Shame for Labour but good for the rest of us!

Is he? He was the primary driving force behind Labours INSANE second referendum policy.

Now if he genuinely believed it would win them an election, in face of an entire range of facts pointing to the contrary, then he literally a moron. Thick as pig s*** dumb.

Or, if he pushed it deliberately knowing it would cost Labour the election and help position him to take over then it makes him bloody treacherous. Not sure if that counts as 'highly intelligent.' Certainly cunning.

Labour's approach in the 2019 GE was very far from insane. The problem wasn't the policy it was the lack of enthusiasm for it from their worst ever leader. Corbyn lost that election well before it was ever finally called.

Offering the people a final say after a renegotiation would have forced a better deal out of the EU. If that was then rejected by the people after 4 years of rethinking then what where is the downside? We either got a better deal and a confirmation that the people genuinely wanted out, which would have laid to rest much of the dissatisfaction with the process, or we learned that even on better terms the people had reflected and changed their minds.

Only the insane reject such a concept.

But renegotiation would have been a back door back in to the EU. The eu wouldn't have offered anything unless it had a catch which would be just that. Come back and let's talk. Then the UK would have been well and truly shafted alongside major domestic issues. Do you honestly think a second vote would have been be fair? Many remainers have changed their view and are now content with brexit considering how well being outside has worked during the pandemic. For that alone brexit was worth it.

LOL. An 80 seat majority is all the proof you need to show how utterly insane it was. And if not for the Brexit Party saving Labour's arse in numerous other seats, it would have been even worse.

The constituency breakdown in England and Wales of the 2016 Brexit vote was 73-27 in favour of leaving. The very battleground that Labour needed to win if it stood a hope of forming the next Government.

Starmer broke with agreed Shadow Cabinet policy at the 2018 Labour Party Conference. He personally drove the drive for Labour to adopt not only a second referendum policy but also a beyond ludicrous promise that the leave deal they would negotiate would be one they would not be backing.

Either sheer lunacy or else a deliberate attempt to sabotage Corybn from standing a chance of building on what he achieved in 2017.

But you know all that.
