      Hello Paul , I’ve noticed since 2010 when the Tories gained power with a walk on part from the Libs , there’s been at least 18 serious misdeeds by various Conservative MPs resulting in extremely dramatic apologies with only one resignation , Mr Johnson’s brief up till now elevation has resulted in so many apologies keeping a count has become difficult,

    It's absolutely disgusting to me that Johnson can succeed in drawing an equivalence between himself, who was fined and should have been fined many times over, and Starmer, who was investigated and found to have done nothing wrong, and then investigated a second time for the same thing he'd been found not guilty of.
    The idea that the Met are complicit in this is what makes me feel sick.
    I've never been so ashamed of my country.

Boris sometimes seems affronted when criticised for what amounts to a gross failure of responsibility (and surprised at the same time that he was not appointed Captain of the School for next half): I think he honestly believes that it is churlish of us not to regard him as an exception, one who should be free of the network of obligation which binds everyone else.”

      If Mr Johnson is found to have misled Parliament in breach of the ministerial code, he would be expected to resign. But neither the Privileges Committee, nor the Commons could directly compel the resignation of the prime minister.

And no chastising of staff from their leader for breaking rules - and boy did they know they were breaking them! They would leave through the backdoor after parties so as not to be seen; would call social gatherings "meetings" or "work events", with invites with the words "socially distanced" "covid safe" tacked on!

    The sorry's are not enough I am afraid. There is no shame. humility in this man. He throws other people under the bus to get what he wants, to be PM. The Tory pary is 10 times worse for supporting this clown. The general public do have principles, morals and standards, and expect no less from our government. This man should never have become PM, and they need to throw him under the bus.

    The GOP the Tory party the Tory party the GOP. The same ingrained mindset, the same moral compass the same enduring belief in the lasting stupidity of its electorate and supporter's and sad thing is they may have developed the perfect. strategy.

    He gets away with it because his own party are his enablers and until they throw him out he will never take responsibility. Disgraceful but there we are.

    Last night Andrew when you questioned the PM,, you should have done one thing and one thing only,,stood up, looked around and asked everything to raise their hands if they think he is a liar....and then chanted liar at him... who cares if you get thrown out....until you all stand up to him and call him out, you are practically enabling him.

      No, that would have just looked childish on the part of the journalists, never mind the fact that the Mail, Express, Telegraph et al would not have joined in. Far better to ask a nasty question that Boris Bunter can’t get out of, except by moving on quickly to another journalist, and then making him look silly on your radio programme. Marr is vastly more intelligent, cultured and politically savvy then Bunter. What SHOULD have happened was for all of the journalists to agree on asking one question and only one question (Did you lie to Parliament? is the obvious one, although the answer is equally obvious) and then just wear him down. They are journalists, after all, not Rent-a-mob.

      @@bigpants6121 As I was writing my comment this did occur to me, since I had used the very same argument to point out why George's suggestion (while interesting) was wrong. And sadly, many at home will simply see Marr as an irritation to our Great And Wonderful Bunter Of The Remove. But, softly softly catchee monkey, says I. The genuine journalists need to do their job. (Someone else on another comment pointed out that this government is going after the journalists, so it is time for them to start protecting themselves!)
