I wonder if people will stop using their iPhones in protest at China like when everyone stopped eating corned beef from Argentina.

So the tories are unhappy with the attacks on the current Mrs Johnson and are saying they are sexist, I imagine Johnson himself would be able to spot that as sexism is one of his many talents.

It’s all part of operation “Save Big Dog”. Look where these stories about her being in control, Boris’ woke policies are down to Carrie influence etc etc. came from. It’s all the same people and media outlets that have spent the last two weeks trivialising the law, telling us no one is interested in parties etc etc. That didn’t work so it’s time to shit on another wife. That’s not working so play the victim. Desperation from the big dog.

I guess that this means that there hasn’t been a line drawn under it.
Sir Keir Starmer bundled into back of police car after being mobbed by protesters shouting 'Jimmy Savile' at Labour leader
The Labour leader is escorted to safety by police after being mobbed by a group of anti-COVID lockdown protesters in Westminster. And there's fresh condemnation of Boris Johnson as some of the group were heard to be referencing the PM's Jimmy Savile claim about Sir Keir Starmer.

As you’ve quite rightly pointed out this goes back the last 6/7 years and plenty of those coming out in condemnation weren’t anywhere near as vociferous a few years ago.Labour supporter, 72, left in hospital after being attacked on doorstep while campaigning

And frankly that's a very generous description of him.

But he’s achieved what he wanted - it’s out there in the public domain and it doesn’t matter that it’s bollocks.
This has been nearly a decade in the making - we have allowed politicians, journalists and commentators to LIE to us unchallenged and without accountability. It’s very difficult to put a stop to it unless we have an overhaul and reform of how this all works. - just look at the revolving door between Downing St and national media, including the BBC.
Unchallenged?!
Actually I think you'll find Mr Hoyle is very strict and will give you 46 warnings and if you do it again you'll get a very serious warning next!
(unless you state facts, in which case you might get thrown out).

The decorum and civility Tories will agree, for the most part the rest just don’t care. The clown got them a bumper majority for a decade of crap, nobody else is doing that.

Someone of your intelligence should be able to connect the dots.

This stuff predates Corbyn, Milliband got it, Blair got it. Jo Cox got it.
This particular conspiracy theory was first invented by bitter Corbyn fans during the leadership campaign, so not sure you want to pull at that thread TBH. See also Corbyn fans misrepresenting Jess Phillips to the point she got death threats, bricks through Angela Eagles windows, etc.
Political debate and conspiracy theory has been around for ages on both fringes and liberally used against centrists and the opposing fringe.

Lunatics have become emboldened because politicians lies have gone unchallenged, exacerbated by many journalists and commentators that have facilitated it by saying nothing.
Why you’ve taken issue with this particular tweet makes no sense to me, or brought in irrelevant nonsense to emphasise your dislike for Corbyn.
Starmer was the victim today, but who will be the next to suffer, and to what end.

On that last point yes it has, however it’s a new development to have this Trumpian effect of conspiracy nutters carrying out threats based on what the PM himself has said. He’s wielding it without any care of the consequences

It isn't about Corbyn but the principle that the leader of the opposition can be subject to slurs, which seemed to be ok between 2015 and 2020 but isn't on now.

Starmer wasn't physically attacked whereas Corbyn was punched in the head and someone is inside for trying to murder him.
The same people that though Corbyn getting a slap was a big joke are outraged at this.
Neither is right, it is another example of the hypocrisy going round on the reg though.
Oh yes,transfer your office into the EU of course then offshore it all.I see Rees Mogg has been made minister for Brexit Opportunities-

It’s hardly a new development and the protest group were the rag tag Piers Corbyn bunch weren’t they?
Also wasn’t David Lammy there? Lammy who said Tories are Nazis and that those who supported Brexit were worse than Adolf Hitler. Ever the balanced is Mr “great big expense account” Lammy

And there’s the small matter that Boris Johnson employed his “old chum” Piers Corbyn as an advisor and urged others to listen to him.

They’ll be no downside to Brexit only considerable upsides. And as soon as we’ve found them we’ll let you know. 6 years after that statement and 2 years after leaving. Talk about locking the door after the horse has bolted.I see Rees Mogg has been made minister for Brexit Opportunities-
