Not a good week for Imran Khans.
Did that vote go ahead in the end?

Think it said on the news if he gets longer than 12 months inside automatic by election which in Wakefield probably be won by Labour again now, after all the Tory shenanigans over the last few months!!

I thought you must be on the wind up but you’re absolutely right. How can a convicted pedo be allowed to be a serving MP.

I know, do they not do checks?
One rule for them and one for us.

I do feel very uncomfortable about some of the historic cases but to so openly defy our justice system for a mate seems utterly bizarre

Must be the least popular leader ever if he genuinely didn’t know that there were parties.
Didn’t even get invited to the ones in his own house. Proper Billy no mates.

They can’t even try and justify it by saying that they did a good job. No doubt they’ll give that a good go though.

Johnson & Sunak both to be fined over breaking lockdown laws.
Surely makes their positions untenable?

In any normal government it would be instant resignation.
However this is not a normal government. It'll be brushed under the carpet.
Remember the outrage when Diane Abbott had a drink on the tube? Now we have a serving Prime Minister breaking the law and nothing will happen which I think sums up the decline of this country pretty well.
Oh and constantly lying to the house. So that's two things that should be instant resignation.

I think this is a bigger issue than the fine itself. Didn’t Johnson say in the House that rules hadn’t been broken ? Now, you can potentially wriggle out of that if (you claim) stuff went on without your knowledge…gets a bit trickier if you’ve been fined for breaking those rules yourself !
If this is just a standard fine alone I don’t personally think it’s a resignation/sacking issue. They’ll continue to argue that they believe it was a work gathering…it’s only route left for them

Particularly convenient & extraordinary timing that it emerges whilst parliament is in recess so they don't have to answer questions on it.
