This quickly turn into a roast😂 you know it’s over when your own team chuckles at your burns.
even if its final pmq the roast will remain , thats our tradition lol
The "bye Boris" at the end was amazing
@Video Games the windows of the Palace of Westminster aren't high up enough to make that a worthwhile endeavour.
another soundbite for Allshorts channel, already has f**** the tories from Glastonbury
Very childish, like being back in a school classroom.
@Video Games Boris is going nowhere till the end of his term, watch...
I'll be back. 😂
Boris be the type of guy to carry on singing even after the judges have hit the red buttons on britains got talent
The third MP right from BoJo was lost in thought ( 01:52 ) and his posture was telling.
Was that genuinely meant to be funny?
@@sfullernj it was funny
@@sfullernj what a prude you come off as
All his mates say he's cool though.
The most telling thing is the silence of the Conservative MP's in the face of Keir Starmer's attack.
100% agreed. That was just terrifying.
Half the questions calling for his departure were from those same Conservative MPs that have kept him office so long
Damn!!! The man that shouted 'Bye Boris.😁' 😂🤣
Awful and mocking.
Don't the police do a background check on these mps
They give the police funds the government pays them so I doubt they do anything it’s at the PM s discretion
Obviously not 😏
I expect Putin's Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) did 8-)
not in his term as PM
That's what's so sad about democracy. If you are a civil servant, you have to adhere to certain, quite strict standards. But if you are a politician? You don't. And the ones to blame are the voters.
Love how Theresa May is just sitting up a few rows behind trying not to smirk lol
She's loving this and while I know its the pints of nostalgia talking, I definitely think she was a much better PM then BoJo..
Thersa may is jut as bad.
@@himum3429 anyone was better than Johnson. It says nothing about her
@@lenawagenfuehr53 she was a much better prime minister. it just that she was a prime minister in the wrong time
@@greengoblindefoe9813Johnson and May should’ve swapped terms, and May would still be in office

In Johnson's case, nodding dogs.
A Machiavellian disaster of national proportion. Boris is just a disgusting stooge…
🤜🤛
Great post Jules. I'm sitting here watching the despicable Raab beside him...I hope he gets hounded from public life as quickly as Johnson.
How true this is.
It’s impressive how Boris has managed to completely destroy what was always already a pretty shocking reputation 🤣
Boris is a legend. You must be poor
@@sfullernj and you must be thick
@@sfullernj you good? 💀
@@sfullernj "you must be poor" an if he is?
@@sfullernj how dare you, just because someone has money does not excuse them from doing what they are doing, imagine this MP Pincher groping your daughter or granddaughter. Would it be okay just because he is wealthy and in government?
It's like when you keep flushing and it just won't go down...
😂😂😂
Time to get the DRAIN-o and flush this TURD from our midst!
When Johnson resigned in July 2018 as Foreign Secretary in protest at May's Brexit policy, he took THREE WEEKS to leave the building! He was said to be desperate to hang on in the official residence to avoid paying more rent on a flat. As if he couldn't afford it....
Saint IKEA Starmer could do with a good flush.
@@dragonfly6908 both of them can
I'm not Starmers biggest fan but he did a good job here. I actually cannot believe the state of this government, how anyone looks at Boris and thinks he is somehow a guiding light needs to get their heads checked.
"The charge of the lightweight brigade" even got some frontbench Torys laughing at that one.
America feels the same way under Joe Biden.
@@garethmccray5248 that was a good one. Watch it in full and you'll see him refer to the front bench as a z list of nodding dogs.
A lightweight brigade
🤔😪👊🗽✌
I dunno why ppl expect a narcisstic deluded man to do the right thing. Why would he? He doesn't see right or wrong?

@@MrJohnnyseven pathetic response.
@@MrJohnnyseven what does that have to do with anything?
My country did it with Donald Trump. Russia did it with Putin. Germany did it with Hitler. Most people are savages.
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ weak sheep
It is so disturbing to see that some of these politicians talk about honesty and integrity.
Ikr it has the same energy as when Darth sidious says ‘I love democracy’
And they only speak of "integrity" at the 13th hour!!
Just like the people who elected them
democracy is a joke
Especially the Jews I would add.
"No clapping - this is not a debating society." No, it is an embarrassing pantomime.
Oh no it's not!
The house of commons is an embarrassing mockery. As is Westminster.
It's laughable, it's okay for the prime minister to lie and hire him sexual predator but you can't clap, what an absolute embarrassment for the UK.
@@Britonbear
Chris pincher appears
Behind you!!
@@Britonbear Oh yes it is
Well done, Starmer. You've stepped up big time!
Are you delusional Starmer has a script presented to him to read from. The media has dripped venom towards Mr Johnson since he took office & as they intended the general public believe the media who no longer present news but their opinions. Mr Johnson true hasn't done himself any favours at times but in truth apart from the media the 'civil' servants have deliberately made life difficult with their woke leanings. Sadly it appears the anti establishment brigade has won the day for dear old GB!
Easy target to be fair
are you serious? all he's done is watch boris eat himself. Amazing how delusional people are.
@@jamietherooster the only delusional people are the ones who voted Boris. Just like him, they don't like to take responsibility and will deflect where possible..
@@MsCharlieBrown78 nobody does delusion like a lefty
I love watching the English house of commons. It's so much more fun than US congress or senate. Thank you England for the entertainment. I love you all
Boris has been a great source of entertainment for the past two years.
Believe USA had their own equivalent in Donald Trump.
UK House of Commons
@@craigfowler7098 yes, but I think the Trump show was more like an insane zombi apocalypse and far more dangerous.
@@kennethvenezia4400 have to agree with you there, that man should not be allowed near nuclear weapons
We love you!! 🧡
My grandson of 3 months makes similar sounds and more sense. What an embarrassment!
I know, it beggars belief how the Labour Party made him their leader.
I just watched the end of the committee meeting in silence and with subtitles he had to partake in, and I honestly couldn't tell whether the subtitles were faulty or not!
@@RF_Burns Haha, very funny.
@@RF_Burns tory fanboy 💀
Boris , what a slippery toad. Now then and always
Apparently he is referred to around Westminster as 'The Greased Piglet' not the Slippery Toad.
I abor bullying anywhere? Why didn’t he dismiss Patel? Who is a absolute disgrace of a human being, and a proven bully?
It's disgraceful your remarks no one has the right to say such cruel words. And how do you know Ms Patel bullied the dear downtrodden civil servants? Oh yes of course the opinion of the media!
@@moniquesmith3236 Give me a break? There was a commons independent investigation into her bullying, the results came back that Peter was a consistent habitual bully! Johnson refused to do anything, and the top ethics advisor in government resigned? Nothing to do with the media. With respect get informed and grow up madam!
"I abhor bullying...unless I think I have a chance to get the leg over"
Brutal! That wasn't a PMQ, that was a beatdown in front of a live studio audience, and I almost want to feel bad for Boris. Almost.
@Video Games
Defenestration is one of Putin's favorite ways of dealing with friends that have become problematic-- that and poison. Bullets only when soneone has become really tiresome.
His opening address was typical, completely ignoring reality. A joke, a gaff. Like before Parliamentary Committee later: I'm having a terrific day! Every day is terrific for BoJo, as long as he is the center of attention. It's the Boris Show, filmed with a live audience. Nadine Dorries will operate the applause machine.
Amazing when the MPs all turn up and when they don't. Speaks volumes for their priorities.
He’s just smirking at us all
That’s one of the things I always hate the most about watching him and all his mates . Whatever the serious matter is they ( and bojo especially) just sits there smirking & laughing . Ruining a country & millions of peoples lives isn’t a joke but I’m guessing when you leave to go home to your millions it is .
"We implement the biggest tax cut with the help of the money we took from your NI increase".....how much vcan people put up with?
@Video Games
Lots of folks could get behind that! Mandatory defenestration!
@@AM-fs1je What? Shoving them all through the windows? Some of that glass is very old and fragile!
“But…but…the tax cuts….the tax cuts….”
And even those NI reductions are balanced out by increased NI rates (apart from all other rises in cost of living). Who do they think they're fooling?
yup. about a quid a day apparently. woohoo. from a man who says he cant like on 160k.
Tax cuts is getting your own money back.
Diminic Raab's face is priceless here. And Dorries shaking her head when she doesn't get the joke.
I waited years for this golden moment. And it was worth it.... To see Boris destroyed by his own words and deeds. KARMA.
Except that he's not going anywhere. He already promised that he will wait for the chance to jump back into being PM
"All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others"
Pay attention. If anybody ever had any doubts that integrity is the most important trait in business and politics, this is a shining example of it.
You are a wise man, J.
I am getting really sick of the word "DELIVER", to be honest.
Literally hundreds of MPs are shouting aggressively for hours straight:
Dozens of MPs literally interrupt the person who's speaking all the time:
Somebody claps: "You should be ashamed of yourself!"
well no, clapping is generally not allowed under the rules of parliament
@@donniesaunders6422 Exactly, but that rule is clearly kind of ridiculous. I mean don't get me wrong, it makes for a great, rowdy atmosphere, pretty entertaining, and I agree clapping would be more boring. But I don't think that's the Speaker's point, somehow he got it into his head that it's the other way around?
“A quick point of privilege..?
“Guys…first of all James Jackson, Sacramento They/Them..”
“I just wanna say. Ahh. I know we’re all fresh and ready to go but can we please keep the clapping to a minimum!!!..I’m one of those people who suffer from ‘Sensory Overload’ and it’s very distracting when everybody is clapping all the time!!!”
“It’s affecting my ability to FOCUS”
Okay?
Chocolate teapot is the word for the present speakers I am afraid? I really am beginning to question the point of them? The commons is becoming a complete joke with no rules or regulations enforceable?
You know something is seriously amiss when……..
Keir Starmer looks good
David Cameron was much sharper than Boris Johnson. It actually makes you appreciate how sharp Cameron was with his retorts.
True.
sharp enough to make a brexit vote possible just to save his own skin, which he lost before the vote. super sharp move!
He's the reason we're in this mess
And he resigned too. And this makes me always to wonder if a country like england can become a super power?
@@heribertfassbender5759
As it turned out, Cameron sensed the general public's mood well. Of course he had to cave in to the right-wingers, but over the years polls have consistently put 'Europe Yes or No' as split roughly down the middle. Cameron was decent enough to admit defeat and he quit straightaway.
As an outsider looking in. Who voted for Boris Johnson?
I ask about the intelligence of anybody that would vote for him.
Boris makes Trump look intelligent.
They voted for Brexit, c'mon let's have a look for intelligent voters :D
It's this kind of arrogance from the labour party and their supporters that pushed people towards him.
As with the US the media has a massive influence who gets into to power. The masses will eat up the rhetoric of the press and TV stations. It's false democracy ☹️
As UK does not have a presidential system of government, the only people in UK that 'voted for Boris Johnson' at our last General Election in Dec 2019 were the constituents of Uxbridge and South Ruislip (suburbs of NW London). A few months earlier, Johnson had been elected by Conservative party members as leader. Having got himself elected as an MP and with a clear majority of his party's MPs in the House of Commons, the Queen appointed Johnson PM and asked him to form a government.
In practice of course, many people in the UK's 650 constituencies vote according to which party leader they believe is 'selling' the best policies, but their votes actually go to the candidate standing for that party locally (and who most voters don't really care about), not the leader who wants to be the next PM.
The Dec 2019 election was a freak as it was 90% about Brexit. Most people knew about Johnson's past relationship difficulties with propriety and the truth, despite his affable and flamboyant style. But his Labour leader opponent was Corbyn, who had different 'baggage' but was weakly leading a party more divided over Brexit than the Tories, and couldn't get his act together and be crystal clear about Labour's position on Brexit. Faced with that utterly depressing choice, I don't think voter (lack of) intelligence was ever the real issue!
But now at least Johnson is quitting - which would not have happened under a presidential system where even the president's own party or the parliament has no power of dismissal.
@@ChangesOneTim Thanks for the explanation of the Westminster system.
I am not from the US and do understand that you are not directly voting for the leader of the party. But just like Australia, the person who is leading the party, still has a major influence on the overall vote.
As you said Corbyn was the opposition leader and I do agree that his poor standing probably contributed to the election result. But still the question remains, who actually voted for Boris?
When you think of England, you think of cultured intellectuals. Boris is none of that and can barely string a sentence together. He has always been a fool and amazes me that anybody would have voted for a party with him as their leader.
They're having a laugh.It's like a monty python sketch,without the Parrott but with a big wet fish.
WITH a parrot, and the parrot is dead!
Dominic Raab…..”Beam me up Scottie!” Look at his face. He’ll be gone by tomorrow.
I noticed that too
He looked absolutely worried.
Dorries looked shell-shocked too.
Most of the cabinet are obsolete
@@isabellewhite3505 Got their heads in sand
@@isabellewhite3505 Tbf Dorris always looks a little lost. Off with the fairies that one
just became woke.
What a shame we have all these kids running or potentially running our country..
Mean what was childish about the opposition
Savage Javid, a team player? He's the only worm on his team and serves himself, always.
Unlike Truss of course, the Remainer who became a Brexiter for her career, Unlike Dorries who knows that no other PM would let her near a position of influence, they never serve themselves do they?
37 resignations...and counting!
10PM update: 42 😁
Why.i dkmt get it
This is an MP that our company went to him right at the very beginning in March 2020 regarding PPE and healthcare systems & faulty PPE & this MP ignored us once he took a video on this faulty PPE that he asked us for plus a list of what we were making up to keep healthcare workers safe & he ignored us after that & they also ignored us on the faulty PPE for a few months then it did get changed. All the PPE was given to all healthcare sectors so it was urgent that they should of changed them knowing that we tested all of this PPE.
His also ignored us on someone in his own community who is on a ventilator & other equipment & this MP has not once reached out to comment on helping us fight for someone to get nurse led care & this is happening also all around this country it needs changing.
@Video Games
Are you volunteering to defenestrate him?
@Video Games defenEStrate, yo mron
British Politics is like watching a comedy show
We actually made a great comedy called yes prime minister, check it out
@@craigfowler7098 Politics has become so absurd that Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister seem like a documentary.
@@The482075 Yep
God I miss Boris in politics, the best rebuttal I've ever heard is when he called Kier Starmer a "pointless human bollard" 🤣🤣🤣
❤❤❤❤❤❤ Go Keir. Thank you for speaking up for all the survivors of sexual assault
That would seem to be the case wouldn't it 😒
Puh lease. An Irish satire paper summed it up beautifully, pretending to quote Johnson: "after all the sh*t I pulled, it's some MP no one's ever heard of grabbing some guy's *rse in a nightclub that brings me down?"
He’s no Churchill, but don’t tell Boris as he’s just as delusional as the previous maniacal leader of the US who thought himself better than Lincoln.
I've not laughed as loudly in ages as I have watching this.
I can't believe this man still has supporters. What has happened to this country
i would of laugh my head off if the speaker said bye bye Boris
And it's disgusting he's having a leaving party at chequers, how shamelessly arrogant and low can you get....
How Boris can sit there smiling and saying they've made the "biggest tax cut in a decade" is ridiculous. Can he not read the room, these energy prices are a total joke not to mention the gas prices. Sort it out and actually go, half wit. I'm by no means a lefy either but Boris is making a mockery of his party.
Bo Jo has lost his Mo Jo
Plonker
I'm glad Parliament has a Speaker like Lindsay Hoyle, with the steel, resolve, and presence of mind to stand up to the REAL problems the country faces; Clapping during PMQs.
Numerous instances of the Government demonstrably lying to Parliament were excusable, but we will NOT tolerate the sound of hands clapping in this house!
Hoyle is worse than useless.
As an American I am absolutely ready to be british. If this is how you solve s*** I'm all in.
And just what sh*t is getting solved here?
Not British go ask one of them.
It’s hard to believe that this is the parliament of an iconic democracy, a G7 country and a once enormous empire. A lot of corpses are spinning in their graves. Utterly shameful, and it’s not just Boris. Hopefully someone pragmatic will take his place and off-load the circus clowns of Patel, Truss, Mogg and Co.
Shameful
Significant blame lies with the despicable people who voted for him and his cabal of crooks
A police investigation and prosecution is appropriate.
Appropriate but as we've learned, pointless.
@@AM-fs1je a prosecution would be welcomed :D
‘Bye Boris’…..with luck the last we see of him!
A tax cut that is only possible because they're so high in the first place.
@TONNE JOHNSON Most intelligent words I've heard.
That is the exact reason I advised both new and old investor to trade with a professional who understand the market quite well, that way maximum profit is guaranteed & I myself traded with expert Charles R Schwab and I always worry less about losing because he has so many years of experience
@@michealsauer658 I heard that his strategies are really good
Crypto investing has brought me great success!!! Irrespective of the economic depression, i can boast of $9,000 every week on my investment. All thanks to Mr Charles Schwab
Mr Charles R. Schwab is my profession, I have been trading with him for a year now... I've really made over $200,000 from his strategies in trading of cryptocurrencies.
This is all unbelievably ridiculous. These people are elected and paid to be addressing and resolving the problems of the nation , but instead they're just in this house ripping shreds out of each other. Absolutely ridiculous 👎
Lies and BS week in week out but they should be embarrassed by clapping?!
As much as it is a dismaying sight of British PM clinging to power by his finger tips in spite of clear moral wrong doing, but it also present the best of westminister style democracy where his own party MPs are grilling him to resign. Unlike US members of Congress of GQP who simply can’t see the TFG doing anything wrong
Imagine if us politicians had this level of… oh who am i kidding, if they had ANY level of integrity
I am ashamed to be British with this PM, tenacity can be good but he has no integrity whatsoever.
Tim Loughton……priceless thunderbolt hahaha.
.........He could seek asylum in Ukraine .
Rwanda would be a better option
What are they waiting for? Decency from BJ? Doing the right thing ? A tearful resignation a la Theresa May ? It’s never going to happen. He will never resign.
He’s literally resigned
Awful awful awful people...the lot of them
Can we rebel yet? Peasants revolt 2: electric boogaloo
“This is not debating society…”
Sir Lindsay, I’ve been a fan of your work since you took over for Bercow but that statement was even more classless than the clapping.
Dissent and debate made the UK great for many years and for multiple MPs to clap in support of a serious and pointed statement is, by no means, shameful. It is the physical embodiment of representative legislation and should NEVER be sullied due to a personal conflict of opinion.
Hoyle got that scenario completely wrong. That’s a disgrace…
He was upholding a long standing convention of the House of Commons that clapping is bad form. It's for that exact reason they normally yell "hear hear" to indicate agreement and support.
@@davidthomas9165 A convention, so clapping isn't actually banned. Hoyle is useless. He's allowed worse things than clapping to take place. He's just waiting for his peerage.
@@geoffpoole483 correct it's not banned, no, it's bad form, like addressing the house with hands in pockets (something Dennis Skinner regularly did!).
The speaker calls people out for bad form; if it were against the rules, like calling a member of the house a liar, the offender can be ordered to leave. I was just pointing out to the OP why he said it.
I'm not a fan of Hoyle either, I don't think he has a firm grip on proceedings much of the time, and there are numerous occasions of Johnson clearly lying to the house and Hoyle not forcing him to correct himself in real time.
Johnson knew this was the case, which allowed him to spew false soundbites which he knew were quotable in the press, in a news cycle in which things move too quickly to scrutinise the last lie.
@@davidthomas9165 convention, while proper etiquette within the House, is not a requirement, from what I understand.
I can understand if a requirement, such as a standing order, needs to be addressed and I’ve seen Speakers of the House do so frequently because, in many cases, MPs are just grown up children. Yet without the need for a standing order, no such admonishment is necessary.
Bercow, Martin, and Boothroyd have all pulled something like this at least once but not consistently. I’m hoping Sir Lindsay doesn’t follow suit here, that’s all I’m saying…
@@XX2Media fair enough, I'm just hoping British politics as a whole will find a way to get better, because it's pretty depressing to witness the last 10 years.
When can the Canadian Parliament do this to TRUDUMB?
I'll never stop enjoying seeing BoJo looking down and shaking his head like a spoiled school boy who's getting a talking to from the Headmaster.
These people are all losing it honestly
Time to go, BoJo.
At last he is going to resign, after 54 minister regulations.
However wants to stay until October - could not make it up.
Keir was on good form and loved Ian's sarcasm
I am back again watching this simply for entertainment!! Anyone else doing the sane?
Tax cut yeah NI a pittance, not wages Tax or VAT.
It's not the mandate of the British people that Boris is worried about...
Still not getting used to this speaker.. feels very awkward and out if touch
He's useless.
"Mr. Speaker, I am not going to trivialise that matter!"
New party desperately needed ☹️
Bring your own boos party?
Biggest tax cut in decades? It's a bit like when a retailer increases their prices 3 months before a big 'sale'.
Voting is an irrelevant sham, MPs are just players in a pitiful pantomime. The real power never changes and is not subject to voting in or out.
@Video Games Such a great word.
Wow they've really had enough 😕
The Look on The Faces of The Conservative Front Bench....Speaks Volumes.....
They All Looked Embarrassed and A Shamed of Themselves......As They Should....
Good Bye Boris 🤣
Welcome to the Comedy Central Roast of Boris
Who said "Bye Boris" at the end? I would personally like to buy them a pint
He’s no saint but fair play to Javid in all this
for God's sake man, just go. the country is descending into caos...
Parliament!!!!
A sheltered workshop for the unemployable.
Boris Johnson denied making a cheese omelet for Darth Vader. I've had enough of this man's deep seated lies. Darth was very upset as he pushed another cheese omelet through his grill at our local greasy joe cafe. Enogh is enough.
Darth should know that if you keep taking one for the Emperor, you're gonna end up with egg on your grill.
Good job Keir Starmer , thanks for saying that . Say itxagain.
Anyone in that house without sin, cast the first stone.
3:27 I love how the bloke on the left is trying his hardest not to laugh
"There's a very simple reason why they want me out".....err Boris... there's way, way more then one !!
Sorry as much as I hate Labour I will vote Labour this election I have had enough of this con party
God.. Back to the winter of discontent then..

@@MrJohnnyseven As oppose to the 12 years of discontent under the tories.
‘Bye Boris’ at the close made me chuckle.
Biggest tax cut in decades: Johnson is really not a good poker player with the hand he holds. "All in" (for no good reason)
Funnier than anything on American television
All these insults and cries for this compulsive liar to resign and nobody has even mentioned the £350 million a week! Surely Boris's crowing glory.
I'm not going to trivialise the questions. Nor am I going to answer it. I am not fit for British politicians. I resign.

Embarrassed by clapping but doesn't tell them off for laughing at the public...what even is this place?
Can a grown adult please stage an intervention here.
This apalling excuse for a public servant is at the end of his shambolic tenure.
