- Boris Johnson probably thought it would be easy to spin his own narrative at the Privileges Committee today.
Harriet Harman had other ideas.

Harriet Harman is a rude old bat and Boris stands up to her brilliantly. And what on earth is she wearing?
@@clivet3252 Stands up to her but failed miserably, he looked flustered and dodgy. Bye bye Johnson.
@@royboy565 no he didn't
@@clivet3252 Really? Is that the best CCHQ can do?
@@clivet3252 what does her choice of attire have to do with anything?
I asked some friends if it was illegal to rob a bank and they said no.
That's why I robbed the bank.
Yes, I am a police officer but it's my friends fault.
Exactly....I robbed the bank....but I don't recall why
It was my understanding that robbing a bank was within the rules. Strictly speaking the rules were to not rob banks, but this was not always practical. It is still my understanding that I did nothing wrong.
@@weswheel4834 it was also your understanding that daddy's fiddle with you freak
Perhaps you were actually thanking the bank staff for their hard work looking after all that money and somehow in what was definitely not a robbery part of that thank you simply involved shouting “freeze you mofos” and the subsequent handing over of sacks of cash. Easy mistake to make 😂
Excellent analogy
Boris swearing on oath to tell the truth Absolutely hilarious.
Did the Bible burst into flames ?
It’s the trump in front of the church moment
Yes, and as he went on to lie he has perjured himself. Can't say it will happen but if it was you or I, we would very shortly find ourselves serving a prison sentence.
As ridiculous as vaz, janner, harman, dromey, list is quite long
Followed by a series of clear lies.
You can see how much he loathes being there and how angry he is over being questioned. How DARE they?!
This gives me pleasure. Seeing him squirm.
Literally the first day of my law degree we were taught "ignorance of the law is no excuse".
Even more challenging if you were suppoosedly engaged in constructing the laws
That is a poor lie.
I was told that by my mother (and fully understood the concept) when I was about ten.
His denial is insulting to the people who followed the rules who didn't get to say goodbye to their dead relatives. His career as a politician is over.
He's claiming a leaving do for his colleagues was more essential than my grandma's funeral. I'd punch him if I could.
He doesn't care. He enjoyed daily champage, cheese and parties while people were dying in hospital and he was laughing all the way to the bank.
The stupid gammons still love him and would vote for him. It is utterly depressing.
He doesn't care. He thinks life is there for him to plunder, no matter who it hurts. Sadly England still votes Tory and dumps these clowns on all other nations.
I know 3 people that could not attend funerals
So a farewell leaving do is fine because you can't expect to do that socially distanced, but a funeral is a much lesser event and of course should be distanced.
Depends on whether the family of the bereaved are members or donor of The Conservative Party
They should have said thanks for your work. Keep in touch, and that would have been that
Alex. As it was for his Mother’s.
@@jameschicken1008 At the funeral??? :o
Of course. You can hold a funeral any time, but a person is only leaving a job role at a very specific moment!
The fact that we the taxpayers have to pay for his defence is depressing.
"Do you think we are entitled to be dismayed!" Pure poetry.
Would be brilliant if someone on the committee said: " So you defence is that you're an idiot"!
Far too slimey to be an idiot.
A liar & an idiot!!!
Pithy and amusing.....you made me 😊
That’s essentially his defence
Goes without saying...
_With the greatest respect, Chair. How dare you ask me broad and searching questions, when I have taken the trouble to produce an exquisitely crafted answer on a few narrow and misleading points._
"Forgive me..."
How about no, Boris...
Boris jhosan help
My grand father name british dacoments
2 yers i says help me plz
2 yers i says help me plz
His final point literally boiled down to “If we don’t have people to pin the blame on for our own lack of judgement, government won’t be able to carry on”
Come on, let’s have some justice for once in this country 👍
Needs advisers to tell him he's at a party you couldn't make it up.
Smoke and mirrors this arse wipe has never taken responsibility for his behaviour and words in his entire life, you can tell he's flustered (which means the person questioning him has hit the nail on the head) when he gets aggressive, raises his voice and goes on the attack, not a sign of a balanced personality in any way, more like a dangerous psychopath, similar to Adolf Hitler!
If you call that a party you need to get out more.
Champagne and cake sounds like a party to me .
@@snowyowel7961 a party needn't involve music and breakdancing. It's a gathering of people.
@@RankinMsP like the the party starmer had with over twenty people.
Look at him, he's seething that his act is well and truly up.
If only as much effort was put into questioning MPs on why an estimated 320,000 Britons died from austerity.
Complete shite, see a doctor.
Lying comes as natural to Johnson as breathing. Lock him up!
It’s funny, because once told, I managed to understand the rules and abide by them without needing my own team of special advisors to brief me in my role as a social care worker. Similarly, I managed to remember that I shouldn’t break the speed limit on the way to work during the pandemic without needing to seek advice on traffic law before every journey. His nonsense is an insult to all of us, but particularly to those who lost people. Despicable to the end.
Well said, I lost someone very close to me, we must never let anyone off of the hook for the absolute rubbish...
It should have been common sense, really, but he clearly didn't think to ask for advice, just ploughed on ahead, thinking he wouldn't get caught, but he was and dont like it now
Absolutely. A point that does not seem to have been adequately made: the rules and guidance were SIMPLE 😅 No consultation should be necessary.
@@PaulDavis-qm7to Spot on. He’s the master of obfuscation though and he drags everybody down into the muddy waters he stirs up.
And it's my advisor's fault for not reminding me before every journey that I hadn't to break the speed limit. The moronic idiot defence.
When we swore the oath on the Bible, I'm surprised it didn't burst into flames!
Bible is full of lies anyway... they fit together. Swearing on that book today is an insult to justice.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
He had his fingers crossed.
It would have gone up better than my barbeque.
😂
It's like listening to someone getting indignant about being accused of sleeping with someone else when they know that no sleep was taken.
Being held to account for himself, doesn't sit well with this fool
He appears to be pretty taken aback that he has to answer Qs about this
In fact, he comes across as angry. In fact, extremely arrogant!
I'm enjoying watching him squirm.
Goes back to the famous school report of his which stated "Boris thinks the rules don't apply to him". He's one of the born-to-rule set and thinks he's superior to everybody else.
Is he any different to the majority of these sewer dwellers?
@@simonturner1 . ✅✅
But he has accepted responsibility already.
Chair: of all the lies you’ve told Mr Johnson, what is your favourite one?
Johnson: I’ve never told a lie.
Chair: Yes that’s my favourite one too.
They should have actually asked him that
He's so bloody arrogant he's not actually listening to Harriet. First he tries to interrupt her, then he's mumbling and muttering.
Will they ever be held to account though? Pointless
If they never get brought to justice.
If he gets away with this, trust in politicians will take a major blow, because people will either think they are corrupt or they’re just plain useless.
They're already corrupt...
@@alexwoodhead6471 And not enough people care. Millions will still vote Tory no matter what
I think we've nearly reached that point
What trust. That trust dried up years ago.
They are both already!!
Brilliant, Harriet. And you didn’t let him interrupt you
He tried to bully her
spot on
She was great wasn't she? Forensic and firm when she needed to be, and didn't allow him to drag her into a shouting match.
Johnson takes twice as long as most people to get through a sentence because of his umms and errs, and piffle.
@@gonzoraoul ha ha ha !! So that’s all that’s needed firm forensics on a poxy piece of cake. ‘Cause not one of the ‘committed’ would have the intelligence or courage to conduct a forensic inquest on covid from start to finish
Chair: you got fined for one of the gatherings.
Johnson: yes but all guidance was followed completely.
Chair: no further questions. TAKE HIM DOWN!
Is there another question? How did the PM know there was very little to fear and who told them to scare people?
Uxbridge & Ruislip people must be proud 😅
@@ronj9910 it just shows how you and your ilk are so devoid from the truth. You should be ashamed but I know the tories are devoid of any integrity as are you.
I can assure you, being one of those constituents, we are certainly not proud of this lying fool and that is the general consensus of us all. Conservative have no chance of being voted back in!
@@ronj9910 no.
Like all Tory constituencies, they live in one party La la land. Sycophantic Morons!
He just can't help himself. Lie after lie after lie after lie.
That’s the nature of the Tory party
Always has done, nothing new, we always knew but most chose not to say so 😡
yes he is lying about lying
Well... He is a pathological liar, so at least he's consistent I suppose
Boris really doesn't like being questioned by a woman.
"Can you let me finish my point?"
"No. I'm Boris. Please stop talking while I'm interrupting you!"
He is such a slippery piece of work. However, he's kidding no-one anymore.
Depressingly there are still many delusional fools who are still believing this shite
A nasty piece of goods, corruption and rotten, evil man ..
After seeing the live streams and the live chats, sadly that's not true. It was about 50/50.
He never was fooling anyone other than himself and those who are idiotic enough to believe him
Found out is the term i believe 😡
Lock him up.
YES 😡
Then we need to lock starmer up then
And throw away the key
Yes lock him up 💯
Difficult to lock someone up for eating a birthday cake…..
I don’t know of any other place of work in the UK where alcohol is allowed to be consumed while employees (MP’s) are working.
"I can't think for myself." To be fair, I agree.
"People didn't get to say good bye to dying loved ones, but I didn't know I was breaking any rules by having a birthday party"
Unfortunately his act and entitlement worked well enough, he's set up for life because he convinced people barely making it through that the people even less well of than them were the problem. This is what the tories do, every time they get into power they do it on the back of creating an enemy and proposing a solution and then they f##k everyone except the people donating or in their pockets one way or another.
The image of the Queen sitting alone at her own husbands funeral while Boris and Co powdered there noses together just tells you how much they do not give a dam about Great Britain.
Lol his defence boils down to: I'm sorry but I didn't know the rules, and the guys at work said it was ok.
And he was the one who put the rules in place.
Just how is it that tghis man is walking amongst us and not serving time in prison?
I keep asking the same question over & over... How on earth was he voted in as Prime Minister. What a laughing stock this country is.
Love watching him squirm. Truly his fathers clone, that rage comes out so easily when he’s being cornered
For all his education,for all his wealth,he's just a low life
“If only I could break her nose to shut her up. Always worked for daddy.”
A swift crack in the cakehole usually sorts that out 😊
The fact he wont name some advisers should be enough to sack him as an MP and why in all the photos is everybodys face obscured they were there as well ,were they also investigated?
It will be the final nail in the coffin of public trust in politicians if this man walks away from this unscathed.
His entire defence is an insult to adult intelligence. And an even bigger insult to the millions of people who followed these ridiculous rules after having been terrified into submission by the government. Who can forget these awful daily briefing briefings where we were told death lurked in every shadow? While the booze flowed and the laughter rang out in Downing Street.....
Well said. We have to pay £200,000 for his solicitors fee too.
@@EnjoySynthSounds Why do we have to pay for he’s brief??? tell me please.
Don’t forget he’s not not nearly sorry about any of it; optics, morality or otherwise! Indeed (as you can tell from his demeanor ) he deeply resents being held to account like this because he sincerely believes that he is, or should be,above scrutiny! He is singularly the dictionary definition of the type of personality that should be prohibited from holding any kind of public position or power!
He already has, had a stand innovation as he left no.10, clapped on his walk out, suffered no fines or penalties and is free enough to still call himself a politician and is again trying to control the tory party. This nations a laughing stock and his violating us the public with no repercussions
Get the nail ready then. He will walk away unscathed, and we will all be furious that yet again the conservative government of recent years takes no accountability or care for their actions.
I live alone in a small town in the West Country. I spent the whole of lockdown alone because I was convinced if I followed the rules, then we’d beat the virus.
I got Covid while in lockdown, probably from my weekly supermarket visit since I stayed inside my flat and didn’t see anyone else for for the rest of the time, for months. I was alone as I spent 2 agonising weeks in bed, trying to get over the virus.
Seeing Boris Johnson desperately trying to save his political career today by making up pitiful excuses had me raging. I thought of my lonely months obeying the rules, and of all those people dying alone because their loved ones couldn’t be with them during their last hours, because they also wanted to do the right thing.
BJ is an abhorrent creature. He needs to be thrown out of politics and into prison. Words fail at how disgusting this man is. While the UK suffered, the man in charge was being the popular boy in the school yard, organising parties and karaoke up in his flat. Lockdown for him was 6 months of being the No. 10 legend.
Sickening and disgusting.
Any you proberbly saved many lives by only doing what you were allowed to do , you're a decent , person with morals, integrety, decency, this Johnson guy has zero ! totally unfit for any office, let alone the highest one in the land ! astounding he got there !
@@devonguy02 shut up you water of breath with your arse licking stupidly plenty people got COVID and we were all fine inbred freak!!!!
@@devonguy02 it would be “you’re” as on ‘you are’.
I do hope that you are better now, and I share your rage. I live on the continent, and I am so ashamed to carry a Brirish passport.
I am 60 and he is as vile as anyone to bestride British public life in my lifetime.
Still so many wants him back for PM.
He doesn't sound so confident without his backbenchers bleating behind him.
Of all the bad trades in managers and leaders the habit of kicking responsibilities down is by far the worst.
I don't care who under you told you what and what they did. You were the boss, you were responsible for them, you are accountable. Being bad at your job to lead does not exonerate you ffs. The buck stops up there.
Spot on sir well said !

"But Miss, a subordinate made me do it."
That is a serious gangster chain on harriet
Appropriate for dealing with Bunter...
The sheer indignation of having to answer questions is palpable. Look at the fury (and no small amount of panic) in his eyes.
Boris has had a lifetime of being carpeted after transgressions, as a schoolboy, journalist and politician. He knows that he always bounces back after whatever sort of censure he gets.
Well, none of that happend
@@raphaelsainte-claire4861 He looked furious and panicky to me. He can't handle scrutiny.
@@royboy565 you must have been watching some other channel.
@@raphaelsainte-claire4861 Nope, furious & panicky sums his demeanor up admirably. At one point he's imploring the people in the room to see things through his web of deceit. That was panic as he realised that after all of his £250,000 of taxpayers money, paid for by people who've had their right to legal aid stripped from them, the committee hadn't believed a word of it.
I always thought that johnson's eyes are too close together & when he's angry it just emphasises it. I bet he has to bob his head from side to side just to see how far away things are! 😆
Who tied who in knots? She'd have difficulty tying her shoe laces
The point at issue...is the yob needs to go to jail!
Exactly, how is he trying to pass the blame on to his advisors at the time saying they assured me all rules were followed HE WAS THERE for crying out loud and he was the PM who made the rules like harriet said surely he could have seen that the rules were being broken and something could have been done to stop it. Rules don't apply to him apparently
It's the classic "I'm an idiot" defense. We must conclude that he is simultaneously and idiot who doesn't understand the rules he created and signed off and also a competent leader who we should trust has the full remit off his brief. It's dead cat season with this guy every day.
Reminds me of watching one of those 24 hours in police custody programmes....
Fact is though, these liars wont even get close to jail.
Exactly, and guilty means guilty 😡

"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 that binds everyone else." - Boris' teacher
Harriet’s noose necklace was a marvellous visual warning
this is embarrassing, will he not now go?
It's amazing how Boris completely ignores the heat of his burning underwear, his pants are indeed on fire and he seems to be the only one not aware of this detail, however either way he is finished he is either as dumb as it's possible to be in which case he should not be PM or he's as dishonest as it's possible to be which should also bar him from the role (or he's both)

Is this the first time in his entire life that he has had to face the music?
It looks like it - which is why he is so flustered. He has spent his entire life without consequence.
I want to put on some Kenny G and ge' busy with him. He looks beautiful in blue.
He's gotten sacked twice for lying, so it's not the first time.
He's the classic mess up and move on to the next venture, done it his whole life 😡
No.
Outside of politics he has been fired for lying and making up quotes.
The truth about Johnson has always been out there but a lot of thick english people overlooked that because he lied and promised them their racist utopia.
Now the country is broken and in tatters.
Put him in jail, and take all these millions back. What shame on the present Tory MP's. What shame to support these liars
Boris is very dangerous character.why? Because he is able to make people feel small and wrong when they challenge him with the truth .
This is a very very dangerous man.
I think Boris Johnson must secretly be truth, because you never see Boris Johnson and truth in the same room at the same time.
Oh it takes you back doesn't it ? Bozza gettin pinned all day in all directions 😅
Now he can’t just avoid answering by waffling
Bye Boris.
I doubt it, watch this space.

It's got nothing to do with me guv ...
A big boy made me do it and then say what I said before he ran away!😂
Boris later didn't even try to correct the record when he was offered a further opportunity to do so , I can't understand that except to assume he is very arrogant here
so apparently ignorance is now a defence.
What's that burning smell? It's Johnson's pants on fire...😂🤣

So was stammer and Rayner in Durham, but nicely swept under the carpet by a Liebour crime commissioner!!! 🙈🙉🙊
He didn't know. He didn't think. HE WAS IN CHARGE!!!! This is the "man" who lied to the queen FFS!!
Lying to the Queen deserves the severest penalty. But he's always been a piss taker believing no one would ever challenge his words.... till now 😡
He appears to be unable to tell the unembellished truth. It looks like a psychiatric issue to me. People like this are very dangerous
"Boris Johnson sets the record straight for the benefit of confused and belligerent Labour MP" 😂
Deserve compensation for having to tolerate this
He messed up big time, but will never admit it.
He thought the rules didn't apply to him and were just for the common folk. He still says that he can't understand why he was fined by the police - that makes it worse
He's been doing the same all his life and getting away with it. So why would he stop now?
hes a lying b---d he shud be jailed
more remoaners can’t get over it - grow up
"Messed up" implies that he made a mistake by accident. His mistakes were no accidents, they were deliberate acts of arrogance.
TILL THE DAY I DIE, How MANY TIMES WE HEARD THAT BEFORE, OVER HIS DEAD BODY WITH NI BORDER AND A DIGGER WOULD HAVE TO ROLL OVER HIM BEFORE HE WOULD LET ANOTHER RUNWAY AT HEATHROW
It's been too many centuries, he wouldn't even know which of the parties he was in, or if there were parties at all.
He cannot bluster himself out of this with his back benchers jeering in the background....this is embarrassing to watch .
How can he form any defence, I watched as a nurse not being able to do much but comfort people die sometimes a horrible death gasping and alone, whilst all the while this man and his other cronies partied the nights away laughing and joking. Its despicable to think he could get away with this that would dishonour everyone who died plain and simple.
it's not MY fault the dog ate my homework and i failed the exam! LOL
Surely he can’t get away with this
Tory’s don’t want bye-election, he may get off with a light punishment
Disgusting behaviour...particularly from a politician!

Agreed. But still people believe and stand by him.
Sorry, but I blame both. I beg your pardon respectfully.

@@EduardSLVRU I think the figure you quoted is definitely nearer the mark than the one on the bus.
Why in gods name is his defense that he was having to seek assurances from anyone about what was clearly illegal under the rules he set out previously. WE all know what those rules were. Its a pathetic admission of guilt.
Well said!
His excuse that it must have been obvious to all those civil servants that the rules and guidelines were being broken is beyond belief--who made the rules, who explained them to us every evening. WHO WAS IN CHARGE?
Isn't it enough for Mr Johnson that 126 fixed penalty notices were issued to 83 people in 10 Downing Street for whom Mr Johnson was ministerially responsible? How many FPNs did Mr Johnson receive? One, yes ONE!
Come on Committee, do your duty by the British people--make amends for letting this despicable person ride roughshod over your Inquiry--throw the book at him--it's time for justice!
Please ,put the public out of the misery he’s inflicted on the country, It’s sicking to see the Tories still standing by and supporting this traitor . Please like the committee end the insanity. He like someone waving Jimmy Savile under your nose everyday and his defence is “ I didn’t know what I was doing was wrong because my other abusers didn’t tell me “ that’s no defence . Boris taking advice form journalists is no excuse in fact that makes it worse as he never sounded out proper and legal advice . Just some beer and curry soaked shell suited press lump .
Your last sentence was Starmer and Rayner I wasn't there oh yes i was having a beer and a curry not Boris.
To use her analogy, what Johnson is saying is “OK your honour, I accept the car I was driving was doing 100 mph in a 70 zone but all my advisors told me all rules were being followed and I immediately appointed another independent passenger to conduct a full enquiry as to why the car I was driving did exceed the limit”.
You perfectly nailed his voice there
Did Boris Johnson's lawyers know they were being picked up on the mics?
