    Writing to the whip's office will get them kicked out of their party, but they'll still be an MP unless they go through one of the hoops.

    There's no requirement to do anything as an MP so you can't be sacked for not doing your job. You don't have to turn up (e.g. Sinn Fein MPs) or hold any surgeries, etc.

  • the news quiz last friday on r.4 had a similar attack on the public school educated " elite " who are doing such a piss poor job of running our country at the minute.
    got a full round of applause from the audience and some whoops

  • More “but it’s tradition” nonsense then.

  • so whilst saying they should publish the report asap, boris sends in some new comments at the very last minute which he knows will delay the publishing of the report. if i was boris's dad i'd be fuming at the fees i paid for his top notch education which turned out such a dim wit

    but that's boris for ya, he lies just about as well as the russian ministry of propaganda

  • My MPs approach is exemplary, get elected in a super safe seat and do nothing (including no surgeries) but grift the fuck out of expenses (and be stupid enough to veer into doing it illegally but not get any meaningful censure) while racking up plenty of side hustles. Oh, and get knighted for services to the public. If it turns out to be 20 years of performance art I’ll be most impressed.

    I do fancy standing on a platform of just doing absolutely fuck all - “Bill is my hero but I’ll be cheaper” - and see the reaction of the constituents (probably derision at lack of side hustle).

  • All while overseeing the death of 3 of the most beautiful rivers in the country, because he supports are battery chicken farmers (the "custodians of the countryside"). Thanks Bill.

  • And his support for John Price and his vandalism https://www.herefordtimes.com/news/23476088.farmer-john-price-not-jail-says-sir-bill-wiggin/ (comments are good)

    And yet, 20 years as an MP, nowhere near cabinet (surely he must be on Buggins turn by now?), zero achievements for the constituency and still a massive majority

  • More Kremlinology from Newsnight last night; number 10 seemed to have deliberately run down the clock on the vetting process for Johnson's MP nominations whose clearance was only valid for six months, which explains why Boris said they could have re-run the clearance.

    And Nadine is not resigning yet because it sounds like she wants to use parliamentary privilege to settle some scores and scupper a plan to have the by-elections all on the same day.

  • Privileges committee releasing its Johnson report 9am tomorrow. disgunbegud

  • Wheeerreeereeeeeeee!

  • They will go hard no doubt. The session was spikey even from the Conservatives on the panel. Great idea to call them a kangaroo court too, just as it was getting the final draft.

  • So Johnson now going after Sir Bernard Jenkins as the latter apparently broke lockdown laws by attending a party (with cake!).

    Johnson is fucking thick (I know, huge revelation), it wasn’t the breaking of lock down rules that the committee were looking at but the endless lying about it (including to the committee itself).

    Oh, and it’s not a “kangaroo court” as Johnson claims, it’s a fucking committee that makes a recommendation, you mendacious shit

  • Johnson is fucking thick

    Really? He's intellectually lazy (and all other kinds of lazy), but the apparently stupid things he says are usually well-considered lies, ones that he knows will play well with a significant chunk of the electorate.

  • He's certainly not as clever as he thinks he is.

  • That's why he is going after another that broke lockdown rules rather than lied about it, it frames it as just picking on him and dragging things out further than needed to that chunk of people who had already written off the party as they had a party too or had weekends away at a 2nd home or did whatever other stuff.

  • Holy shit Nadine is going to challenge the HOLAC decision or something; going in with FOI and subject access requests and wants all emails and WhatsApps

  • Don't think she can comprehend the idea that Johnson might of stitched her up

  • A plummy voice and cod Latin doing a lot of heavy lifting for the shape shifting creep

  • He's certainly not as clever as he thinks he is.

    There's another word with too broad a meaning. Depending on the context and the speaker, clever can be the opposite of genuinely low IQ but also of foolish, naive and more. Johnson is sometimes foolish and has more often let his ego rush ahead of his intellect, but one thing he isn't is "fucking thick". In this particular case, he's being a shameless, bare-faced liar but he knows what he's doing.

  • For sure, but he's a very specific version of all of these words in a specific way. His opinion of himself is certainly overinflated whatever and above all, he's a massive cunt.

  • He's thick as fuck.

  • just kidding, I don't really know.

  • Taking it well then.
