Andrew Marr is spot on. I have been voting since 1979 and remember all the way back to Harold Wilson. We have had some dreadful behaviour, awful policies and abuses of power but never have we had a PM like Johnson who has held the public, The HoC and the office of PM in such contempt.

Starmer should be squirming more. Johnson never called upon anyone to resign merely for being investigated and then carry on when he was investigated himself.

If normal tory MPs had any integrity they’d be queuing up openly outside the standards committee Secretary to hand in their letters of complaint. And that’s only going by his pathetic speach a wee while ago never mind after reading the report too 🤬
Boris was told that 3 out 5 voters want him out. His response was "...I understand people's anger but I think it's more important for me to stay in office and serve the British people..." So he wants to serve us but doesn't give af what we think or what we want?
I like to imagine Thatcher would have had Johnson out of the door about 5 mins after first noticing him. He's a bounder and a charlatan with zero scruples. The face of Brexit.
toe2toe...I think this is the first time Parliament has had such a perpetual liar...and MP's backing him who are lying as well! Boris is changing Parliamentary rules now to suit his predicament. You will no longer have to leave office if you mislead the house. The liars will then be ....staying!!
@@smith5796 Nothing to do with the BBC, Marr was hellbent on keeping Corbyn out and the Tories in, just can't defend it anymore with their current leader.
I used to think of people calling the BBC ‘biased’ (or words to that effect) were conspiracy theorists… oh how wrong I was. The past few years have really shown how downhill it has gone (no surprise as it’s a Tory donator as the BBCs CEO).
Pathological liars are more skilled than this. Boris is a classic case of a frequent liar. He has few real long term friends, he only has associates who are along for the ride. Any true friendships or personal relationships he starts developing will be let down or stabbed in the back at some point in time. He is clumsy with his lying and frequently gets called out. He is lazy with his lies, it is a simple response when he hasn’t read the details, doesn’t know the facts or has been caught out with uncomfortable truths. This is the psychological description of a “frequent liar”, the emphasis being on “lazy lies”. I think the description fits Boris like a glove fits a hand.
I really wish people would stop saying “deliberately misleading the government”. He lied end of conversation, and if he didn’t lie then he shouldn’t be running a tuck shop let alone a government!
Standing with a glass in his hand at a party during lockdown.........so if he was unaware that he was at a party during lockdown then he is not fit to be in any position of authority.

I would like to ask him if he realises that nobody believes that he has not systematically and deliberately mislead Parliament, that all trust has been irrevocably lost, nobody believes a single word he says, and that the only thing we want to hear from him is his resignation speech. And could he please keep it short because we really don't want to listen to any more of his lies.
Obviously he has lied to Parliament. The problem is that those who point this out in Parliament are themselves thrown out. The Prime Minister’s mendacity is enabled by the useless Speaker who allows him to say whatever he wants and never makes him answer a question.
I am not British and should really not stick my nose in but this is really not what we expect from a government in any democratic country. Johnson has always been a man who marches to his own drummer and this has led him astray too many times. To party when fellow Brits are dying of the virus, not sleeping nights because the business had to close due to the virus, evicted for non payment of rent, losing hope and all other ills associated with recent events and still haunting the world and Boris boozes it up? Sorry Mr. Johnson and please shut the door when you leave.
Doesn't matter from where in the world you comment from when you see decency and honour being kicked in the teeth. I myself comment on the US descent into extremism
Exactly? But then his party are liars ! Every single 1 of them ! Hysterically or historically the Tory party are not in parliament 2 represent the British public ! They're there 2 put the boot in2 them ! As they hate and despise the working classes they fill their pockets through corruption and deception just as they have through the 2010 austerity charge on the poorest they've given tax rebates 2 their donors and their own personal union ? The bankers !!!!! You see they are all crooks with this sick persecution of the weak ,vulnerable, disabled and poverty stricken! The NHS is ,after 12 years of chronic neglect and cutting of supporting finance that's being pocketed by Tory private firms so people like me can never get operations done that's been on the back burner as soon as possible when they gained the repulsive power they were given by brainless sheep-heads that " believed" them ! I don't half go on a bit !sorry 😐 .
So that’s it then👍🏼. Having read the full report, the PM only made a few short speeches at goodbye gatherings to say thanks to senior civil servants/advisors. Other than this he, was ambushed at a short gathering on his birthday. All the rest of the flack is aimed at the civil service.
As a former true blue tory I can promise I will never vote for Johnson and his cabinet and believe me, there are hundreds of thousands like me. He has to go and the sooner the better.
We need to serve them all notice. If this were to happen in any other standard place of work you would have lost your role. They are meant to be servants of the country and it's people. We pay these people a brilliant salary to uphold the values of our democracy. They must go now.
Government needs a vote of confidence and if needed a fast general election to get Great Britain back on track. People are suffering under the present political party!
why???....his party are spineless cowards who will back him up even in the face of blatant corruption, and I would bet you anything that the great british sheep would vote him back in.
Thats what you took the time to type though isn’t it? Not to condemn but to deflect, says a lot about where you are on this. You can’t just say, or imply, other politicians would have done the same, you need to look at the here and now.

I think lying about weapons of mass destruction leading to many deaths is far worse than the current situation. What punishment did Blair get? Boris is a born liar and cant be trusted too.
Many hated Maggie Thatcher, but there are 2 things you could certainly say of her. She had standards, and expected the same from those whom served under her. And secondly, she would not be pi$$ed around by anyone.
If no rules was broken, either the staff all lied to "poor" Boris. Or Boris outright lied. So Boris, either resign for lying or sack the tens of advisors and MPS who "lied" to you. because its maliciousness or rank incompetence. And he should resign for either or both.

Interesting that Andrew said ‘Kier will go for it in PMQ’s’, where Kier decided to almost ignore partygate until after PMQ’s and focused more on the cost of living… I think this was wise, Keir cannot land anything or do anything that gets rid of Boris, the Tory MP’s are the only ones who can do something to remove Boris as he won’t resign by giving in their letters of no confidence. Boris is now a full asset to the opposition parties and will just drag the Tory’s down. So go or stay it’s a win for the opposition.
If Boris thinks this will all be forgotten about by the time the next election arrives, he may get a shock. Remember the Local Council elections Boris? You got well and truly stuffed. People aren't forgetting anymore.
How can we voice the hurt of so many who could not sit with their loved ones while they were dying, who could only hold a funeral under very restricted circumstances?

Thank you James O'B , Theo Usherwood and Andrew Marr for sensitive , clearly expressed reactions .
it seems to me that once u have power your morality and integrity get squished or indeed thrown out altogether & you try to justify anything you do in order to keep the powerful job - if there is a grain of honour remaining then what a blast of fresh air it would be if you came out tomorrow and preemted all and bowed out with grace and humility
The funny thing was that being in charge of the government at the time, he could have simply changed the rules. He didn't even care to do that, the entire government just chose to ignore rules while pretending they were keeping them.
Johnson could dress up as death and point at old people as they leave the bingo hall. Because he honestly believes that he is regarded as a hero who can do no wrong.
Boris should be asked; If as you stated there were no parties why then did you say that all rules were followed? If there were no parties then by definition he would not have the need to add that context..

Has anyone asked the question of those educated in Eton, Oxford and Cambridge and who are making the rules - if they (Boris Johnson) cannot interpret their own rules in the same way as the police how do these highly educated and privileged law makers expect someone with a more modest education to be able to interpret these rules correctly. I suppose it is a case of 'ignorance of the law is no excuse', or rather ignorance of how pc Plod will interpret the law is no excuse. I have been cynical of government for a long time - as for this government I now despise it and I honestly think they have forfeited moral the right to tell the people to do anything.

I blame you lot that slunk off and voted for the vile man. You've got all you deserve. He was a useful mayor and useless at every job he's ever done.

If normal tory MPs had any integrity they’d be queuing up openly outside the standards committee Secretary to hand in their letters of complaint. And that’s only going by his pathetic speach a wee while ago never mind after reading the report too 🤬
Too true. The whole lot are a bunch of spineless idiots with nothing other than their own careers in mind.
I just want to say i am a civil servant and worked through all the lockdowns. We had clear guidance on this and followed it.

Fortunately our young people seem to have more sense than their elders and so called betters.

Boris was told that 3 out 5 voters want him out.
His response was "...I understand people's anger but I think it's more important for me to stay in office and serve the British people..."
So he wants to serve us but doesn't give af what we think or what we want?
I like to imagine Thatcher would have had Johnson out of the door about 5 mins after first noticing him. He's a bounder and a charlatan with zero scruples. The face of Brexit.
Johnson said it didn’t “occur” to him that he was doing anything wrong. That just say’s it all.
This is the chap wit the key to our nuke button
Lives in a different mental world.
Seems Boris would rather be considered an idiot rather than a liar. I think both is more likely.
Yeh … You all broke the rules if your honest….

@@Durgesuth Nope, Projection
The fact that you cannot call a fellow MP a liar says it all about our system.

a perpetual liar...and MP's backing him who are lying as well!
Boris is changing Parliamentary rules now to suit his predicament.
You will no longer have to leave office if you mislead the house.
The liars will then be ....staying!!
The difference between this UK regime and previous UK governments is that this regime has no shame and are bloated with their feelings of entitlement.
Tony has no shame I know that!
Marr had a whole show on BBC to show these people up and he did very little with the information he had.....
Why do you think that is? Why do you think he left the BBC.
Because the BBC has been muzzled
@@smith5796 Nothing to do with the BBC, Marr was hellbent on keeping Corbyn out and the Tories in, just can't defend it anymore with their current leader.
I used to think of people calling the BBC ‘biased’ (or words to that effect) were conspiracy theorists… oh how wrong I was. The past few years have really shown how downhill it has gone (no surprise as it’s a Tory donator as the BBCs CEO).
OR is he wrong here? Is he? No.
If you ask a pathological liar if they are a liar what answer would you expect ?
Pathological liars are more skilled than this. Boris is a classic case of a frequent liar. He has few real long term friends, he only has associates who are along for the ride. Any true friendships or personal relationships he starts developing will be let down or stabbed in the back at some point in time. He is clumsy with his lying and frequently gets called out. He is lazy with his lies, it is a simple response when he hasn’t read the details, doesn’t know the facts or has been caught out with uncomfortable truths. This is the psychological description of a “frequent liar”, the emphasis being on “lazy lies”. I think the description fits Boris like a glove fits a hand.
A succinct and damning analysis. Contrast this with Laura Kuenssberg's Boris lovefest last night. Nice to see decent journalism is not yet dead.
Kuenssberg has been Johnson's official BBC mouthpiece for years now.

It’s not a “fraying at the edges” it’s rotten from the core
I really wish people would stop saying “deliberately misleading the government”. He lied end of conversation, and if he didn’t lie then he shouldn’t be running a tuck shop let alone a government!
It’s just the bs that comes with the tradition, I mean, they still say ‘the right and honourable…’
If the PM is incapable of lying then he doesn't qualify to be the PM!!
Standing with a glass in his hand at a party during lockdown.........so if he was unaware that he was at a party during lockdown then he is not fit to be in any position of authority.
It's shocking that Sue Grey didn't investigate the Abba themed party in his flat, all the others he could claim he popped in for a few minutes, the one in his flat was the biggy.
There's more questions than answers now. The report didn't do what it was supposed to do
I now have a horriffic picture in my head of Johnson dressed in skin tight trousers, singing dancing queen, I'm traumatised.
Question is, how do we get Boris out?
As usual one rule for them and another for the peasants 🤔
I’ve had so much humble pie and grovel sauce from that bungling buffoon that I feel sick 🤢

I would like to ask him if he realises that nobody believes that he has not systematically and deliberately mislead Parliament, that all trust has been irrevocably lost, nobody believes a single word he says, and that the only thing we want to hear from him is his resignation speech. And could he please keep it short because we really don't want to listen to any more of his lies.
Obviously he has lied to Parliament. The problem is that those who point this out in Parliament are themselves thrown out. The Prime Minister’s mendacity is enabled by the useless Speaker who allows him to say whatever he wants and never makes him answer a question.
I am not British and should really not stick my nose in but this is really not what we expect from a government in any democratic country. Johnson has always been a man who marches to his own drummer and this has led him astray too many times. To party when fellow Brits are dying of the virus, not sleeping nights because the business had to close due to the virus, evicted for non payment of rent, losing hope and all other ills associated with recent events and still haunting the world and Boris boozes it up? Sorry Mr. Johnson and please shut the door when you leave.
Don't t forget printing money like it's growing on trees . And now the economy is f-cked. And we got to pay it all back.
Doesn't matter from where in the world you comment from when you see decency and honour being kicked in the teeth. I myself comment on the US descent into extremism
Exactly? But then his party are liars ! Every single 1 of them ! Hysterically or historically the Tory party are not in parliament 2 represent the British public ! They're there 2 put the boot in2 them ! As they hate and despise the working classes they fill their pockets through corruption and deception just as they have through the 2010 austerity charge on the poorest they've given tax rebates 2 their donors and their own personal union ? The bankers !!!!! You see they are all crooks with this sick persecution of the weak ,vulnerable, disabled and poverty stricken! The NHS is ,after 12 years of chronic neglect and cutting of supporting finance that's being pocketed by Tory private firms so people like me can never get operations done that's been on the back burner as soon as possible when they gained the repulsive power they were given by brainless sheep-heads that " believed" them ! I don't half go on a bit !sorry 😐 .
Thank you. Well said. We will remove this parasite
@Andrew Cottle How Come We Have Money To Give Ukraine For Weapons?
This is exactly what Marr was not allowed to say when in the employ of auntie beeb...
So that’s it then👍🏼. Having read the full report,
the PM only made a few short speeches at goodbye gatherings to say thanks to senior civil
servants/advisors. Other than this he, was ambushed at a short gathering on his birthday.
All the rest of the flack is aimed at the civil service.
As a former true blue tory I can promise I will never vote for Johnson and his cabinet and believe me, there are hundreds of thousands like me. He has to go and the sooner the better.
When he says misleading doesn't he mean lying..
Boris shows how low politicians can act.
We need to serve them all notice. If this were to happen in any other standard place of work you would have lost your role. They are meant to be servants of the country and it's people. We pay these people a brilliant salary to uphold the values of our democracy. They must go now.
Government needs a vote of confidence and if needed a fast general election to get Great Britain back on track. People are suffering under the present political party!
Britain hasn’t been ‘great’ in your lifetime....
why???....his party are spineless cowards who will back him up even in the face of blatant corruption, and I would bet you anything that the great british sheep would vote him back in.
Why is Boris still in office?
It's right nothing like this would have happened under: Thracher, Major, Blair, Brown, anyone!
And can you imagine what it would have been under “Stammer and Rayner”. What’s happened to their Partygate ?
@@nitram157 they didn’t have a party…
I’d imagine we’d be in a better place with some better ethics in the Government and the country.
Thats what you took the time to type though isn’t it? Not to condemn but to deflect, says a lot about where you are on this. You can’t just say, or imply, other politicians would have done the same, you need to look at the here and now. It’s typical Tory voter deflection (whether you vote Tory or not you are doing what they do)
I think lying about weapons of mass destruction leading to many deaths is far worse than the current situation. What punishment did Blair get? Boris is a born liar and cant be trusted too.
Many hated Maggie Thatcher, but there are 2 things you could certainly say of her. She had standards, and expected the same from those whom served under her. And secondly, she would not be pi$$ed around by anyone.
If no rules was broken, either the staff all lied to "poor" Boris. Or Boris outright lied.
So Boris, either resign for lying or sack the tens of advisors and MPS who "lied" to you. because its maliciousness or rank incompetence.
And he should resign for either or both.
When Andrew Marr's has a pop at you over something, Then you know you've done wrong.
No,then you know you're a Tory, he fawns over the left .

Thankfully our system doesn't work like that.
And frankly it doesn't matter if he partied and drank himself silly, you should just get over it and move on. The rules were meant to stop the spread of the disease in the general public, he was not part of the general public, and his partying didn't spread the disease. He also delivered a vaccine better than any other European leader. So frankly I don't give a toss if he partied.

I can't for the life of me why we needed a report since these so called "geniuses" filmed themselves at these parties.

Interesting that Andrew said ‘Kier will go for it in PMQ’s’, where Kier decided to almost ignore partygate until after PMQ’s and focused more on the cost of living… I think this was wise, Keir cannot land anything or do anything that gets rid of Boris, the Tory MP’s are the only ones who can do something to remove Boris as he won’t resign by giving in their letters of no confidence.
Boris is now a full asset to the opposition parties and will just drag the Tory’s down. So go or stay it’s a win for the opposition.

Thank you James O'B , Theo Usherwood and Andrew Marr for sensitive , clearly expressed reactions .
it seems to me that once u have power your morality and integrity get squished or indeed thrown out altogether & you try to justify anything you do in order to keep the powerful job - if there is a grain of honour remaining then what a blast of fresh air it would be if you came out tomorrow and preemted all and bowed out with grace and humility
No these people are rotten before they get in power. They're not changing, this is who they are.
Boris never had any morality or integrity; they are not things that are taught at Public Schools. They only teach "Entitlement"
Boris wanted to be the new Churchill. Alas, he couldn't even sit in the back of a car nodding and selling insurance.
The funny thing was that being in charge of the government at the time, he could have simply changed the rules. He didn't even care to do that, the entire government just chose to ignore rules while pretending they were keeping them.
The Rt honourable.......really !!!
Johnson could dress up as death and point at old people as they leave the bingo hall. Because he honestly believes that he is regarded as a hero who can do no wrong.
Wasn't it leaked that Boris said "let the bodies pile high" when COVID first broke out across the UK?
Boris should be asked;
If as you stated there were no parties why then did you say that all rules were followed?
If there were no parties then by definition he would not have the need to add that context..
The Privileges Committee should suspend BoJo and that should bring a recall petition and should be toast for him. Marr is correct.

Has anyone asked the question of those educated in Eton, Oxford and Cambridge and who are making the rules - if they (Boris Johnson) cannot interpret their own rules in the same way as the police how do these highly educated and privileged law makers expect someone with a more modest education to be able to interpret these rules correctly.
I suppose it is a case of 'ignorance of the law is no excuse', or rather ignorance of how pc Plod will interpret the law is no excuse.
I have been cynical of government for a long time - as for this government I now despise it and I honestly think they have forfeited moral the right to tell the people to do anything.
