Cable Forum - Updated: Boris resigns as party leader

Maybe he's just being an incredibly brave boy and wants to understate the whole illness. I'm sure he's not the type to exaggerate to gain sympathy or a political advantage. :rolleyes:

Yes but most normal people care about their Prime Minister being truthful. You don't, I get it, but most do.

Just like Blair he never lied did he:confused:

Why so shocked, lying is the PM's default position these days. Blair couldn't lay a finger on him in comparison.

You can say what you want about Johnson, and be right. But whatever he may or may not have done is nowhere near the blood that Blair has on his hands through lies, never mind about misleading Parliament.

I see you got the Whips’ WhatsApp message, then… ;)

However, in the real world, 117 voted against May, and 148 against Johnson, so if you’re playing the percentages game, 26.5% more Tory MPs voted against Johnson…

It doesn't matter a hang. If Johnson carries on regardless and achieves his manifesto, who in the Parliamentary party will be speaking against him then? Only the usual suspects (mainly remainers).

Was his manifesto - inflation and fuel prices out of control, the NHS in shreds, immigration massively high, taxes massively high , national debt at record highs, empty shop shelves, strikes, lack of people prepared to work at min wage rates and a cost of living crisis? If so, carry on , he's a shoe in....
( and votes against have come from all parts of his divided party. The 'usual suspects' are most of his backbenchers - they are Turkeys and they see Xmas coming...)

After all we don't know what Tory MPs have been told by their constituents about the situation.It's their base support they will be listening to.

Making crap up now :shocked:

Stating a fact about someone (I personally think Blair’s a dick) isn’t "defending" them - otherwise, if I stated you seem to spend most of your time on this forum trolling, that would be me "defending" you…

He's already trashed the manifesto.

Ah right. So you are criticising Boris now for the furlough scheme and all the other support he put into fighting the disease, and you think that’s what Labour would have done. And do you agree with supporting Ukraine?

If so, why are you criticising him?

It’s delayed, not trashed, for the reasons above.
