When David Cameron did a ‘behind the scenes’ thing for the Sun it was pretty clear that while a knob, he took the job seriously and prepared properly for PMQs, interviews and so on. Plus he had more of a brain.

Says a lot that I wish he was back!

i don't think in my life while I've had an interest in politics I've ever accused a PM of being bone idle before.

That’s because for all their flaws, they were willing to put the hours in. Like Andy Morrell it doesn’t mean they were good, but it’s the minimum. Think some of the more serious Tories will be embarrassed that this is the guy at the helm.

There was a documentary on the foreign office which covered some of Johnson's time as Foreign Secretary. Definitely worth a watch, not on iplayer anymore but all 3 episodes are on daily motion.

I saw it. You could see how exasperated the civil servants were getting with him.

I've said it before but it's as plain as day that he wants to be called PM but he doesn't actually want to do the job. He's a bone idle fuck.

I think it was Marina Hyde (who is very good) who said that Johnson 'always wanted to be PM, wants to have been PM, but it's the bit in the middle he struggles with'.

Second car crash of the day for Boris after PMQs.

A few weeks off for minor whiplash?

Cummings was in the car behind testing his eyesight.

Either that or the Civil Service are trying to be rid of him. JFK as written by Alan Bennett.

Do the schools have any idea how much work is actually being done by pupils? Its great that the move to remote teaching was done so quickly and that work can be provided for over the summer but are the kids actually paying attention? The memorial is rammed full of large groups of kids every day which makes me wonder.

Other than Teams or some subject specific website (we use something called Hegarty Maths) then it’s very difficult. Any student that is off-line it’s near on impossible to track. Some schools and subjects have gone for teaching new content - we went for consolidation of existing knowledge, because in reality when we do get back we will have to re-teach the new stuff anyway because of them either not doing it, doing it and not understanding so we’ll have to unpick all the misconceptions.

Nah if it was him he’d have legged it

She isn't really, she's another utter utter twat like James O'Brien.

Still in the 1000 infections and 188 deaths. It is coming down but oh so slowly

Really? I couldn't disagree more. I think she's brilliant, much less preachy than JO'B, and very funny too. Plus I am very fond of her disdain and hatred of Johnson.

Compare the deaths of 240 plus last Wednesday....look at the trends mate it’s coming down

Very slowly whicn is the point that is being made.

No one is saying the rolling average isn't slowly decreasing but it's if the level is currently safe for the restrictions to be lossened

Que you saying some weird shit about wanting to stay in for ever

The Covid crisis could have been a chance to showcase the benefits of the union. All it has done is the opposite.

there’s a Twitter account where you can see all tweets that got deleted by MPs, very enlightening on how some of these people actually think (on all sides) when they’re not being vetted by someone - it’s @deletedbyMPs. Don’t know if this is old news but looks like there’s a huge cleanup going on.

it’s Darren Grimes apparently, deleted 14,000 tweets going back years

Who gives a fuck, there are more important things going on right now

It’s coming down that’s the main thing and hopefully it continues all be it at a quicker rate

I bet David is behind it, probably nothing better to do

 

[clint van damme]

You should have told your mate Boris that when he was extolling the virtues of being able to import a biscuit from the other side of the world.
And just for clarity, what do you consider more important? I don't think you're referring to the death count so you're probably talking about going to the pub.

Hopefully? Sorry but i'd rather follow the science as it's safer for both people and the economy

Rent free mate, I feel bad though as I could offer you at least a peppercorn

 

[skybluetony176]

Which is exactly the point. When there’s something going on as important as it is right now you don’t need a poor man’s Diane Abbott in charge who doesn’t know his arse from his elbow. We have a cabinet of people who constantly out Diane Abbott Diane Abbott and the one who out Diane Abbott’s the most is the PM.
