I've lost count on the parties and what he's denied. I'd hope he's a goner this time but I wouldn't put it past him to try and hang on in the hope that everyone just moves on. I think he's going to have to be forcably removed by MPs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a report of what he said in PMQs (of course he has told porkies there before). I can't see how he cam spin this one. " Boris Johnson kicked off PMQs this afternoon with an apology for the footage that emerged last night, where No10 officials were seen joking about holding a Christmas party in Downing Street just days after the alleged lockdown-breaking gathering took place. “I was also furious to see that clip and Mr Speaker I apologise unreservedly for the offense that his has caused and I apologise for the impresison it gives,” he said. “I have been repeatedly assured that there was no party and no Covid rules were broken. “But I have asked the Cabinet Secretary to establish all the facts and to report back as soon as possible.” “If those rules were broken there will be disciplinary action against all those involved.” The Prime Minister, who has been subject to lots of noisy heckling in the chamber, also said he understood “public anxiety” and “public indignation” over the reports and said he himself is furious over the allegations. MPs could be heard shouting “shocking” and “it was in his own house” after he denied having any knowledge about a Downing Street party before the Mirror reported it last week.

HartleyLegend3 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 This has to be a wind up. Has to be.. Boris Johnson reportedly had to be barricaded in his office to stop him coming into contact with staff when he was isolating. Aides in Downing Street are said to have created a ‘puppy gate’ with two chairs at his door to prevent him from roaming around the building. Officials in Number 10 went to extreme lengths because ‘he kept coming out’ despite having to stay away from other people under his own Covid-19 rules. The story has come to light following claims Mr Johnson’s own laissez faire attitude to following guidance created a culture of rule-breaking in Downing Street.

They want a compliant media. Their attacks on the BBC reflect this. It's like Rangers believing the SFA have it in for them when they pull.them up for anything. It's ludicrous.
