Stay tuned for what could be a significant moment for the future of Johnson’s premiership.

I’d like to see that same procedure for our political “leaders” here in the USA.

From the article: "If you break the rules, you have to face consequences..."

Except if you are a member of the Democrat Party in the US.

Boris promises “changes” to how Number 10 and the Cabinet office works.

He says the police investigation is on going.

Codes of conduct will be revised.

Boris is saying he got the UK through COVID faster than any other comparable nation and restored freedoms

No chance of something like this happening here.

The Swamp protects its own.

Leader of the opposition says it is clear from the report that Boris is under criminal investigation.

Sadly this guy Johnson and for that matter Britain itself are just not right.

Leader of the opposition:

“He is taking us for fools”

“He is now hiding behind a criminal investigation into his office”

“He won’t resign because he’s a man without shame!”

Boris just said the leader of the opposition as a former chie prosecutor spent most of his time failing to prosecute Jimmy Saville (a celebrity who was a pedo)

Ouch.

It’s not that complicated. The powerful have the attitude of “Rules for Thee but not for Me” and he got caught. To make matters much much worse, the video of government officials at the party, mocking the little people for having to comply with the mandates.

I agree. Prime minister “Question Time” before Parliament is an eye-opening event that can shine a light on executive branch and legislative branch impropriety.

Is he being sacked because he is bad or because he isn’t bad enough?

It looks like he got through this for now.

He is remaining defiant and promising to implement changes.

Who knows if it’s good enough to save him

He goes to a party and gets fired over it while we have real traitors like the clintons, obamas, bidens, pelosi, feintsteins and on and on that are still in power and not in jail!

Thanks for posting the link.

Fascinating proceedings.

Wish the leaders here were subject to such direct questioning.
