Cable Forum - Updated: Boris resigns as party leader

There’s always room for improvement, but if you throw out a PM because he doesn’t meet your exacting standards when those standards are one of the best in the world is bordering on crass stupidity.

The UK is a leader, and the take you have on it as demonstrated in your last post is typical of your twisted view of things.

Anyway, let’s move on - this is, once again, getting tiresome.

If your own delusions are tiresome at your end just imagine how the rest of us feel.

Expecting those that lead us regardless of their political affiliation to not lie and to abide by the rules that they themselves set is an exacting standard, gotcha

All trivia, of course and a diversion by his detractors from the real issues.

Interesting viewpoint…

Perhaps you might like to look at the governments of other countries before you rush to judgement on ours.

In the scheme of things, the criticisms of the PM that forced him out of office are indeed trivial.

The energy crisis is not trivial, and I didn’t say it was. It’s certainly a lot more important than partygate.

The energy price hike was caused by the war in Ukraine, as you well know, and our energy supplies are in far better shape than many EU countries are facing.

Someone must have hacked your account…

Given recent sewage discharges, that's not something parts of the UK will want to shout about! ;)

What is trivial is blaming our government for a crisis that occurred elsewhere. Had the Ukraine war not happened, we would not have an energy crisis.

Well, Andrew will need to re-charge soon, so that might be a good idea!

It's almost as if it's the job of Government to take back control.

I don’t think any government other than Russia could have avoided the Ukraine war.

Mr Hindsight strikes again!

We have less storage because we are in the middle of transitioning to clean fuels.

You can criticise government for getting rid of gas storage capacity too early if you like, but you would be ignoring growing public opinion that we needed to speed up our reliance on fossil fuels.

We would have been ok had it not been for Putin’s aggression.
