So in a day were the a nation has been asking for clarity all we get is it's common sense.

For Boris it should be more "Go to jail. Go directly to jail. Do not pass Go. Do not collect £200k."

That dude has stolen all the Get Out of Jail cards

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Anyone over 70 should be self isolating?

And if they require assistance to do everyday tasks?

 

[shmmeee]

Yep and I think it's BS then. Using up PMQs to just praise the government without asking meaningful questions is a waste of everyone's time

Not watching but I assume it’s the usual “Would the Prime Minister agree that’s he is in fact a top bloke with perhaps the most beautiful penis in Westminster?” Crap?

I turned it off when one popped up to thank him for his clear statement. Hell, even Grendel hasn't said that about it!

You guessed it

 

[Grendel]

He's also talking utter nonsense. He's lying because that he is saying did not happen.

I'm glad he's on ignore if this is the level he is at now.

Johnson was so bad he came up with nonsense like so gloriously simple there will be complexes.

Black Ford and Saville-Roberts skewered him as well.

Grendal is a sad man who pretends to be successful online. We all know this but at the moment I am genuinely worried about him.

Even Jezza is asking solid questions

Always did - no one listened.

His last year was a disaster

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Johnson insists his advice is good for the whole UK's population despite Scotland, Wales and NI rejecting it. Your posh accent and gesticulations may fool Grendel and some others but not all of us

The ONe Nation Tory who's already managing to split up the UK before we've even done Brexit properly. UK PM delivers a message (well, sort of) and all the other nations ignore it and continue to use "Stay at home". Won't be long before they're basically completely ignoring Boris and just going their own way because the centralised govt advice is just chaotic.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

He might not be very charismatic but he asked some valid questions and was ignored.

He seems extremely competent but uncharismatic.

So we all know in an election how that'll go.

Give it up G he's bang on there

 

[David O'Day]

This is really embarrassing for him. Unable answer questions from the opposition mps. You can talk about PMQs but there are a lot more people watching this.

I'm always bang on to be fair.

Grenners needs help

Pretends to.ignore, I've proved he is blocked.

I had hopes that a successful united front could have restored some faith in the strength of the union more broadly. This is going to be the final nail in the coffin

So their plans on devolution are now down to individual level. Absolving themselves of any responsibility.

If things get worse it's the public's fault for not using common sense. Even though lots of the public don't get a say in how they want to deal with this as it's down to the whim of their employers.

I have a naive question but... where the hell do you get an appropriate face mask from?!?

PC World. Inappropriate ones you get from non-PC World

So manyopportunities in this. Like you say, proper consultation and acknowledgement of the union, an organised, clear concise message could reassure that Brexit won't be *too* bad, co-operation with other nations would reassure that Brexit wouldn't be so bad too... a chance toshow off our state apparatus (often lauded over the years) and technological innovation...

Instead, it fills me with worry about our general competence to deal with the basic questions of government.

In the early days of Covid you had the SNP in agreement and a united front was being presented. Now Johnson has given the separatists everything they wanted with the added bonus of looking more competent in the eyes of their respective populations

It's sad that he's still pretending the devolved governments agree with him. Even when they keep telling g him they don't

WW2 gave support for the union a huge boost that carried through to saving its arse in 2014. We could've done something similar here-oh well

 

[PVA]

Not from today, but from PMQs I believe.

Starmer asks a, fairly straightforward, question and this is what we get in response.

Yet Grendel and co think he's cool, calm and in control of the conversation?

He's a blustering fool. He does OK with pre-recorded statements, but when a question is put to him he is utterly appalling.

Northern Ireland telling a Tory government to piss off is surely a sign that it's not long for this union

Catching up on YouTube now.
Johnson would be a hit on here if he had a log in. His powers of evasion are incredible. Just waffling on barely touching on the questions asked.

Starmer plays the long game with his questioning and he's setting the government up left right and centre but fuck me he's dull.

Hes stupendously boring. It’s why I didn’t vote for him first choice in the end, but a little bit of me is hoping after everything that’s gone on the last decade or so people will be up for a little boring next election.

His comments today (or perhaps over the weekend) on not backing a Brexit transition were spot on. (Edit - that should say transition extension!)
The mad think is I'm sure if Corbyn had made them the centrists would have been fuming

I hope the public start judging people on what they say rather than how they say it.
If they do Jonhnsons fucked because there's no substance there.

Reckon if he can get some stability back to Labour then he’ll be in No.10 in a few years. Just a feeling.

Agree on him being a bit long winded and dull, but it’s far easier to listen to than that resentful, petulant little bitch Corbyn.
