Excellent news for Boris. Hopefully a steady income from a reputable(!) employer means he no longer needs Richard Sharp’s services to get a loan. Will hopefully make him less susceptible to the influences of Lord Lebedev and his ex-KGB agent dad.

Great leaders (such as Winston Churchill) have dark traits. Dark traits are their strength. In our darkest hour, no-one questioned how many sandwiches Winny was eating or whether the celebration of achievement needed an investigation.

I see Johnson is asking his mates not to oppose his Aprliamentry ban. Sounds like he's worked out they will lose.

What strikes me is the lies repeated by blair and bush which cost so many life's is ignored but eating cake and saying you didnt is major news . That is ignoring sir Keir and his fish and chips eat in. Not defending any one just thinking " out loud"

Boris Johnson has committed a "clear breach" of the ministerial code by not clearing a new role writing a column for the Daily Mail with the parliamentary authorities.

The committee that vets ex-ministers' appointments says he informed them only half an hour before the news emerged.

The first weekly column by the former prime minister appeared online late on Friday afternoon.

The paper was one of Mr Johnson's staunchest supporters when he was PM.

Mr Johnson resigned as an MP on Monday, but is still required to seek advice from the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments (Acoba) on new jobs for two years after leaving ministerial office.

He stepped down as prime minister last September.

In a statement, Acoba said: "The ministerial code states that ministers must ensure that no new appointments are announced, or taken up, before the committee has been able to provide its advice.

"An application received 30 mins before an appointment is announced is a clear breach.

"We have written to Mr Johnson for an explanation and will publish correspondence in due course, in line with our policy of transparency."

A spokesman for the former prime minister said: "Boris Johnson is in touch with Acoba and the normal process is being followed."
People in charge of process to be followed - "Johnson is not following the agreed process, and in fact, is in clear breach of the process"

Johnson "the normal process is being followed".

Sums Johnson up - he thinks the rules don’t apply to him, and if questioned about not following the rules, he outright lies; if he’s not careful, he could get into trouble for that… ;)

Nail. On. Head. Well done, Itshim.

Blair lied about the ‘weapons of mass destruction’ to get permission to go to war. That was a far bigger misdemeanour than anything Boris has done, and yet when did he get suspended from Parliament?

This is a Boris hate campaign, and Blair is a good example to demonstrate that fact.

The only frustration is coming from the ultra Johnson supporters who are slowly and belatedly coming to terms with the fact he won't return as an MP.
Come on, Andrew, get over yourself. Nobody is supporting deliberate lies. What is at issue here is the unfairness, double standards and a spiteful hate campaign.

He’s hated so much, these people don’t get the ridiculousness of a cake converting a work event into a social event or the inconsistency of Blair’s lies about Iraq which took us to war.

I think the wokes have finally taken over.

Cry me a river, OB.

Your man is toast. As predicted by many on here his lies have come back to haunt him. No amount of whataboutery will change that.

More whataboutery. Judge Johnson on his lies and that alone.If you do some very basic research you will find the Committee is Conservative dominated. They just happen to have looked at the evidence whilst you've put on your sunny Johnson specs on and can't see he's done anything untoward. You need to extend your research beyond Daily Mail headlines.

It's time to get over your Johnson worship and support British democracy.

I didn’t expect you to answer the point. You never do.

Except that is exactly what you’re doing.

The committee took its evidence in public, has made its findings public. It is a cross-party committee with a Tory majority. The only people who seem to have a problem with its findings are Boris and his die-hard fanbois. I have simply not seen your viewpoint mirrored amongst the disinterested public, which seems overwhelmingly to believe the committee has painted a portrait that has captured Boris’ likeness extremely well.

In Scotland we call this whitabootery. The committee wasn’t taking evidence about Blair or Iraq. It was taking evidence about goings on in No 10 Downing Street during lockdown.

And I think you have taken the final, irrevocable plunge into self parody.

Stop the whataboutery nonsense. We’re talking about consistency. How do Blair’s lies compare with Boris Johnson’s?

You guys don’t want to discuss it because you know I’m right and you don’t want to be challenged on the perversity of your arguments.

You hate him, I get that. But where is the justice?

I am fully aware that the Committee was Conservative dominated. Your point is…? We all know that there are remainers and Boris haters within his own party.

Nobody is answering the real point, which is consistency and justice.

Of course, no-one on this forum wants to discuss that, do they?

Never mind, the avoidance or silence says it all.
