Cable Forum - Updated: Boris resigns as party leader

I didn't get drunk and grope people in my playground. Sure it was against the school rules.
Its just another day in Toryland, meanwhile the country collapses...

I bet you were such a goody-goody when you were Master K.

Call me dull but I'd rather be a goody goody than a sexual predator with wandering hands, just saying

Let’s put it this way, there is a time and a place for wandering hands.

Homophonically (see what I said there?) I’m wondering what’s going on with Starmer’s beer & curry ticket.

If Starmer has to resign, and Boris uses the opportunity to call a GE so that Labour is in its throes of choosing a new leader, I think the Lib-Dems will surge because non-red wall people in particular will want to see him punished.

I think it'll be viewed very negatively if Johnson tried to call an election whilst Labour were electing a leader. It would be seen as one of those things you just don't do.

Except, one of those things you just don't do and Boris are on different buses going in different directions. Though neither of them would be on a bus round here as they're now in the fourth week of an indefinite strike over an insultingly low pay offer.

Know what you mean about Johnson but I think it would count against him in the election. And people are not necessarily voting positively for Labour, they're voting against Johnson's Conservative Party.

The list of things you can't do slipped down the back of the No.10 filing cabinet and hasn't been seen for 12 years :shocked:

Yes, Labour voters wouldn’t like it one bit. Still, all’s fair in love and war.

Maybe that’s why, when all’s said and done, he’s a winner. That’s why Labour and the other opposition parties want nothing more than to see him gone.

Trouble is, he’s not obliging.

Re: Partygate & Beergate discussion

It is appropriate that the moral bankruptcy of the Tory Party is being played out by its parliamentary members in real time. At least they are honest to their values :)

I went to an all boys school but guess what Nadine, if they're had been it would have been consensual, it seems there is nothing you won't excuse or try to deflect away from these people, very odd and very sad in equal measure

When all’s said and done, he's now a loser.

That’s why many in Labour and the other opposition parties want nothing more than to see him continue in power, a wounded (party) animal who will gift them the election in the way that Corbyn gifted Johnson the last election.

Chris Pincher suspended as Tory MP after groping allegation

Prime Minister Boris Johnson was under pressure to suspend him from the party after senior Tory MPs and opposition parties said his position was untenable.

But on Friday, the action was taken after a formal complaint was made to the Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme (ICGS).

A spokesperson for Conservative chief whip Chris Heaton-Harris said the prime minister agreed that Mr Pincher should be suspended after a formal complaint had been made to the ICGS.
