Wait, why is it on now?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, if I was a defence lawyer I wouldn't touch him with a barge pole. He simply can't hack any sort of adversarial questioning and ends up either gibbering and ranting like a madman or incriminating himself (or both).

If Johnson were being questioned under the circumstances any of those would be questioning him he wouldn't spaff on about nonsense the way he is allowed to in Parliament

He's trying to convince Scotland that their attempts to leave a larger Union with much bigger political and economic clout than they would have as an entity outside that union and which would likely lead to a lower quality of life and a weaker standing on all fronts is a bad idea. Hypocrisy...

Weird how it's "nonsense" yet is continually turning out to be right, isn't it? Just because you don't like it doesn't make it "nonsense".

If they were as clever as they think they are one wouldn't have spent his life being caught out lying and the other wouldn't have spent his life as a no-mark backbencher until he was suitably weird for people to notice.

I disagree slightly. Boris Johnson is a stupid person's idea of a clever person. Jacob Rees-Mogg is a stupid person's idea of a clever person's idea of a clever person. As a spoiler alert, neither are as clever as they think they are.

It'll be the Government arguing against listening to the Government's scientific advisers while the opposition argue in favour of listening to the Government's scientific advisers. And if that sounds mad, it is.

To keep it relevant to the thrust of the thread, this emerged over the weekend https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/sep/05/desperate-boris-johnson-to-step-up-personal-attacks-on-keir-starmer Seems BoJo's IRA stunt went down like a lead balloon so much he's taking it out on his staff and...

I've said it before and I'll say it again, you'd struggle to find a lawyer who'd relish the prospect of defending him in court on this evidence.

Not sure his IRA schtick is going to work with Starmer somehow

He really, really hates being asked questions by people not on his side.

Starmer: "Will you apologise to care workers for insinuating they were to blame for all the care home deaths?" Johnson: *Does everything but apologise*

Presumably they're admiring it in the sense of "wow, I didn't think anyone could screw it up this badly but fair play..."

It doesn't feel like we're very far away from the idea that opposition to Government is tantamount to treason. Which is a favoured tactic of all manner of the world's despots throughout history.

I didn't watch PMQs yesterday but I haven't heard anything about Starmer bringing up Steve Coogan? Did he?
