[Politics] To give Boris Johnson credit....

Boris Johnson's Christmas break was a £15,000 gift from a wealthy businessman, it has been revealed.

The prime minister and his partner Carrie Symonds accepted accommodation for the private trip to St Vincent and the Grenadines in the Caribbean.

It was a gift from David Ross, a Conservative donor who co-founded Carphone Warehouse.

The details were recorded in Mr Johnson's entry in the Commons' register of members' interests.

The reprimand follows a similar finding in December, when Mr Johnson was ordered to apologise over the late declaration of £52,000 in book royalty payments.

In its latest report, the committee said the failure to declare the property interest in time revealed a "pattern of behaviour" regarding respect for rules on declarations.

It added that Mr Johnson had given an assurance as part of the previous investigation that his interests declaration was up to date, but this "proved not to be the case".

Yes dear boy. I was congratulating Boris on learning how to fill the forms in. He has a bit of "form" in that regard.

The bitterness still raw from the 12th December 2019 election night. Life’s too short to let it eat away for 5 years.

So your beef is really about Boris just filling out a form ?

Seems a pretty pointless thread unless there is another agenda to start a post on him ?

I don't think it's a beef. I think it's congratulating Boris for doing something right for a change and not lying to people.

Wrong, if you read what he posted he has confirmed what his agenda is

Not bitter at all, doesn't really affect me who is power. It's just another indication of the weird political times we are in with teflon politicians, who for "some greater good" can get away with anything. Add to that a completely non existent opposition.

My "agenda" is to point out that Cliff wasn't a Labour donor, but this bloke clearly is. There are also at least two police investigations currently underway involving our Prime Minister.

In "normal" times, he'd be under pressure but very clearly isn't.

So, "To give Boris Johnson credit.... " you then use the opening to give him anything but credit, giving details of his previous alleged shortcomings. So, "To give Boris Johnson credit.... " is just a bit of sarcasm then.

Why bother? there was no need - we all know your agenda.

Going to be hard to find an excuse to fly it when Northern Ireland and Scotland leave that same Union though in the next few years.
