Theresa May's REVENGE Against Boris Johnson In House Of Commons
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 июн 2023
- Conservative former prime minister Theresa May told the Commons she accepts the findings of the Privileges Committee’s report.
She told MPs: “It is a rigorous report and I accept its findings.”
“It is not easy to sit in judgment on friends and colleagues,” she said, adding “but friendship, working together, should not get in the way of doing what is right.
“I commend the members of the Privileges Committee for their painstaking work, and for their dignity in the face of slurs on their integrity. To all the members of the committee, this House should… say thank you for your service.”
She added: “This committee report matters. This debate matters. And this vote matters. They matter because they strike at the heart of the bond of trust and respect between the public and Parliament that underpin the workings of this place and of our democracy.”

What do you make about Theresa May's speech?
Why is it ALL women that are complaining about Boris??
@@Spray738 most Guy's are scared and fearful for their career's.
mostly virtue words. I don't believe she gives a damn about lying to the public or voters, that was just empty sound bites. The core of Johnsons crime was he lied to the institution called Parliament, and I think she understands that and escaped her own noose with her misleading Brexit means Brexit slogan to the Commons. Brexit meant Brexit... and I have no intent on leaving was her real truth.
@@Spray738 all angry he rejected them
She said what was needed..Johnson and he’s crooked cult have just damaged so much to all,the country and its people..Glad he’s gone and he can take he’s cranks with him to obscurity..
I am not exactly her biggest fan but she was the last prime minister before we descended into the poisonous populism of personality. We need “boring” people who believe what they say - whatever that may be. Else we doom ourselves to being ruled by charismatic yet manipulative self-serving narcissists.
She set about systematically destroying the Police Service, so No. She was terrible and has harmed the UK greatly as a result.
@@SuperBobbster I didn’t say she was a great PM - I am a social democrat for a start. I said she wasn’t part of populism and isn’t a narcissist, which is worse.
Jeez, I feel like half of Internet discourse these days is pointing out straw men to rude people!
@@infinitedaryl2267 I can't help but agree with you on this point. I very much want to read this report myself! We have shown ourselves far too quickly in showing contempt towards those who are prepared to uphold their sense of responsibility and duty as citizens of this land. I have had some examples of this elsewhere. As I have been rightly determined to put up with no nonsense. Some have said that some of what I have been saying is rubbish. I've countered by saying that it's not comedic to put up with nonsense. We've been surrounded by too much nonsense and little substance these days! There's been one here! And that is not a surprise to me! We've got to get back to the issues that matter. And not those that do not!
@@infinitedaryl2267 I know you didn't and I wasn't rude.
My point is that she may well not be any worse than the others, but she was a pretty dreadful HS and her tenure as PM was not really anything better.
Her husband also benefited from the link to G4S.
@@SuperBobbster Fair enough! No arguments from me there. I’d still take her over Boris. But I guess that’s like deciding if you want the Joker or the Penguin to kill you 😂
She has always acted with integrity and poise one of the best in those respects in my book. Johnson needs to be arrested and charged with misconduct in public office.
What about the rest of the liars,treacherous MPs who are still getting away with being corrupt? There’s not one MP I’d trust to tell me what the time of day was,trust is a word parliament don’t recognise.
the dock at the old bailey is waiting for mr boris johnson
She did not respect the Democratic vote to leave the eu empire . All MPs agreed they would HA !!!
She appointed Boris s foreign secretary when she was fully aware of what kind of character he was. She’s as bad as the lot of them.
@@georgethepatriot2785 It was not democratic, it was lies falsehoods and cons told on an industrial scale sir,
I'm no Tory, but May is a small section of Conservative I like. She was treated unfair in her term by the hard right of the party that led us in to the mess we are now in. Her soft brexit would of been less damaging than what we had. She wasn't a brexit supporter and she tried to negotiate the lest damage in our economy, as we can now see the state of this country.
like her or not , one must admit SHE IS 100% CORRECT !
That may be?
But it's Too little too late for any redemption.
And don't be fooled by the "wise old owl"!!
Her husband controls, and vastly profits from the company that exports medical marijuana out of Britain (largest exporter)
Very little known fact!! 😅
Zzzzzzzzz Zzzzzzzzzzzz
With the benefit of hindsight, it's not difficult.
Do you really believe her , because I don't trust her at all .
@@StickyBud9395me neither.
I haver never been an admirer of Theresa May, in truth my opinion of her was quite the opposite. However, I totally agree with what she said and commend her for having the courage to have done so.
Yeah, I don't mind the woman especially when she was inferior and flawed in her own way
I love how she dealt with people that others hated especially if it's someone to do with Donald Trump
Not revenge, she showed integrity , I’m no lover of the Tory’s but some Tory’s have a respect and belief in the British governing system and that of the British people,sadly to many Tory’s are in politics for self gain and lack basic morals.
So thanks to May.
Agree
Said a Remainer ?
i agree i cant stand tory or may but to say this is revenge is just bitter from this so called rightwing media outlet
It"s not "revenge", it's plain and simple decency!
Hell yeah 🙌
It's a dark day when Theresa May is the voice of reason.
Oddly the government has gotten progressively worse since she left
She has always been a decent person -- an absolutely useless PM, but a decent person.
Not her fault that Johnson bravely ran away when he won the vote he didn't want to win
She did more to destroy trust in government and the democratic process than even Brown or Major.
Betrayed our Brexit and took no notice of JRM's speech . Her 'I love my country' made many feel sick
Compared to the liar, May is a class act.
When it comes to acting like a school teacher she has got the character, but you know those who can do it, do it. Those who can't do it teach, an those who can't teach administer.
Well done Theresa May, a very dignified speech, and I felt she was honest , she at least stood up and told the truth!
Now, lets vote this shameful Tory party out of existence !!!
Thank you
Teresa May can`t even Spell the word Honest. She was nothing more than a Failure who got us a terrible deal with the EU , that's her style of Honesty , "Honest Stupidity" . A failed PM taking revenge out on her successor that's about it ! I`m NOT defending Boris as I don`t agree with many of his decisions by any length, but this is clearly vindictive revenge, pure and simple. There`s never been a truer phrase stated as ..............
Hell hath no fury like a Woman Scorned !!!!
And please , Who are the honest & pure Party waiting in the wings to replace the Conservatives with ? Please do not make a fool of yourself and say Labour or the Lib dems as all you`ll be doing is replacing one lot of imbeciles with another lot of imbeciles. Lets at least give a New & fresh party such as " Reform UK "a chance to show what they're made of ,as they cannot do any worse than the present parties of clowns we always have to choose from.
I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment of Theresa May's speech. It was indeed dignified. I thought it showed courage and firmly declared what a shambles everything is in. Sadly, such a shambles that, yes, they have to go. Let's vote out the Tories without delay!!
@@PaulSmith-gl3qb Thank you, agreed ! Your right ! Cheers
Hear hear
Well spoken.Time to have trustworthy MPS to serve voters
In all said and done, like Theresa may or not, she would not have abused the office of PM the way Boris did! There’s simply no excuse for his behaviour!!
Boris is an unique creation in British political history .
Ex-PM Mrs May is fully deserving of the title---The Right Honourable Lady, whether you liked or not.
When a grown up talks at least some sense in the Conservative party they really stand out in a sea of mediocrity or mendacity.
That is so true...
Exactly. She talked like a grown up.
well said!
It's sad to think where the UK could now have been, had she remained as PM and was able to construct a sensible cabinet.
Theresa May is treacherous an enemy of democracy and should be tried for Machiavellian attempts to thwart Brexit. No surprise she is a big hit with remainers.
"be careful who you kick on the way up, as they will be there to kick you on the way down".
I think the correct saying is 'Be careful whose fingers you step on, on the way up. You may have to kiss their ass on the way down'
Faith and trust in the Tory party has been lost years ago not just in Boris but the whole lot of them, we've had 13 years of the country been dragged down to the gutters for middle class and the working class and COVID has highlighted who the conservative party are really looking out for.
"Highlighted" it was made shamefully clear that the Tories have no sense of shame or decency. Moreover that the Tories care nothing for the most vulnerable, the poor, the elderly, the disabled, the young. - the Tories care only for Themselves.
Not just the Tories.. the whole lot of them over many years have ignored the public tax payer. They have insulted our intelligence and way of life. They all have cheated, schemed and lied to us. Both sides of the House have shamefully squandered opportunities just to get even or spite. I believe that they are liars, cheats and charlatans and have no real interest in making Britain a better place to be. The politicians sit there, and slag each other off instead of getting on with the real job. They cheat and lie and then say that they respect the people, and we should have faith and respect them. What damned hypocrites they all are .. no matter which party they are. Yes, 12 years and not much done..but TB had 12+ years and bankrupted the country and nothing was done. Whoever wins the next GE, it will be the same or worse.. a see-saw effect.. hopeless and useless.. they don't care about Britain or the indigenous people. As long as their grubby pockets are filled .
Allow me Paul: we've had FIFTY YEARS. Not 13... Bliar was also a TORY, and so is Keir. Last Labour government in this country was under Wilson. And that was that... the rest was a circus of PLANTS.
Paul I think most Tory M P's are pretty useless but Boris is in a class of his own when it comes to mendacity.
Oh, this is so true.
Karma gets you in the end. I'm not a Tory, never have been and after this disaster of a Government I'll be cold in the ground before I ever vote for them but... If hadn't been for Johnson and his Brexiteer cronies making her time in office virtually impossible I think Theresa May could've been a good Prime Minister. I'm glad she remained in parliament after 2019 so she could be there to vote today.
Ditto
Same here
Mrs May lives up to the description Right Honourable Lady in my opinion. She could have been a good P M if the E R G had cooperated with her .
I am not a fan of Teresa May but I think she is a person with principles. Her speech is based on principles. If we cannot separate out respect for democratic institutions and how they work e.g. the House of Commons and its Privileges Committee, we are on a slippery slope to somewhere very undemocratic. Boris Johnson is interested in Boris Johnson. End of.
^^^
She may have priciples...but unfortunately we all live in the real world, where in her case, she is yesterdays woman who did her best to MESS UP this country.......NOW, the country IS led by NOT THE ELECTED GOVERNMENT of the day BUT BY UNELECTED WOKE CRETINS ACROSS WHITEHALL...
She does not respect Democracy Remainer May
She has no principles continued to sell British planes and bombs to the Saudis so they could continue to murder innocent people in the Yemen blood on her hands
Did anybody else notice the silence in the house,no shouting no laughing no nothing because they all know what a great leader this lady was and how much she is respected around this country 🇬🇧
Say what you might about Theresa May, but she has what it takes to be a political leader. She may not be the charismatic type of leader, but she can provide guidance, clarity and direction as very few others in today's Tori parliamentary party can.
You’re hilarious.
Imagine the reign of chaos during her time as PM.
Had Brexit not happened, I genuinely believe Theresa May could have been a fantastic PM. Unfortunately, she let herself get overwhelmed by militant brexiteers and she began taking bizarre positions on Brexit that didn't make sense in the negotiation room.
and who was stirring up against her, oh yes_ Boris. Whatever happened to him!!!
@@callumclark4021but she also ironically would not have been PM had it also not been for Brexit, the very thing that was her premiership’s downfall
Just as well Boris is neither a friend nor a colleague of May. But her speech is spot on.
JRMs Speech was ignored by her . That one was more accurate
Who would have thought she was 4 PMs ago...
Whatever you think of Theresa May as a politician, she deserves the moniker „Honorable“, in contrast to many Conservative MPs today.
If you had said that of many MPs , from all parties, then your comment would have been valid. Is it only the Tory lot whom you consider dishonourable? If so, rather selective.
@@christinerussell113 None of them deserve the term honourable even being mentioned in their presence. They are all a bunch of thieving, lying b^^^^^^s
@@christinerussell113not selective, but going on the evidence of our eyes and ears and experience of the past q3 years. None of your Whataboutery please
@Lynnefromlyn You are proving my point. So much confected outrage about Johnson, who is no more guilty of telling porkies than many other MPS. Including having a knees up during lockdown, (hey Starmer). And if you want to discuss who amongst the current reprobates in Parliament are worthy of investigation for dubious connections, perhaps look up Harman.The less than esteemed Chairwoman of this particular inquisition, who, if she had even a tiny bit of honour in her makeup, would have recused herself due to her blatant anti Boris bias. A bit of research into her past 'interests' would lead to her one time involvement with PIE. Now that was and is an outrage. Never mind Tony Blair and his dodgy dossier. Both dishonourable, both far more deserving of banishment from Parliament. But hey, cake eating is far, far more serious. But, of course, the main reason for all this hoo ha is really about the revenge of the Remainiacs. The likes of Heseltine, amongst others, rather giving the game away. He was immediately out of the blocks, demanding that as Johnson was now a 'proven' Liar, then Brexit must also be banished from Britain. Never mind that Democratic Referendum, won on the votes of all those appalling, uneducated peasants. Let our 'betters' retake control, they being far more suitable to lead this nation, preferably back into the arms of the EU. Yes, this whole long, ridiculous fiasco has proven just how low Parliament has sunk, and just how determined the remainiacs have been to obtain their pound of flesh.
Tell that to the people of Yemen who are still suffering from the bombing by British planes and bombs sold to the Saudis by mays government 🤔
I may not agree with Theresa May's politics but I can commend her respect for her colleagues.
Fair play to her, she had some ethics.
Stating facts is not taking revenge
It kind of is, when the person she's speaking facts about went out of his way to pretend the facts didn't exist.
But this is talk tv. Let’s face it! Usually a bunch of unhinged right wingers.
@@jasonkoch3182you are missing the point.
Silly title, she wasn't speaking out of revenge.
Perhaps not, but you know she enjoyed casting that vote nonetheless.
It's a clickbait title

@@lizzie3094 His deal wasn't much different. He just accepted the EU offer of a border down the Irish Sea which she had rejected,
@@heliotropezzz333exactly so, well said.
Well said.
At least there appears to be the odd tory supporter who is honourable and sincere
HA she will never be forgiven for helping to wreck Brexit. No respect for the Democratic result to Leave
No surprise, pushed out by Boris and the Russian oligarchs, the last time the Tories had a shred of integrity.
Its ironic that the soft brexit she was seeking would have infact been a better choice for us all in the end. If shed have managed it im guessing we wouldn't have been in as bad of a position that we all seem to find ourselves in
It probably would have, but they closed ranks on her and refused to vote on anything, basically tied her hands so she had no power as PM, and left her no choice but to step down . Personally can't stand the woman after some of the things she had said or the Torry Party, but I certainly think we wouldn't have been in the hole we're in now if they'd backed her!
This needed saying…..
I don’t often say positive things about Theresa May, but here she sounds so impressive given what we’ve had in No10 since 2010. Oh, and what about ‘Sir’ Desmond Swayne. What was his excuse for not voting?
like or dislike the Tories, you have to respect TM's stance on this and many topics, she is one of the good MPs in that house, possibly not the best PM we had, but certainly far from the worst, of which we have suffered from twice in the recent years

Never a truer word, and all that. It's particularly relevant because as soon as either DOES get in the way, it's corruption - pure and simple.
Wonderful woman, person of integrity, yet belittled and disregarded by a huge part of the public... Well, 'Cast not pearls before swine.'
A very good speech from in contrast to the Trumpian style that the current Tories have adopted. Standards have dropped to a worrying level and those at the top have a direct influence on public behavior. THEY should be setting the standards that we should follow.

How did we go from May to BoJo... class apart
Really?! Were you better off when she was PM ? All conservative PMs have been weak ever since they got elected and had to form coalition government. Working people in this country have suffered for 13 years.
Remember the Hard Brexhiteers coup against her? All fomented by Bozo and his gang... this country is hostage to internal tory feud. And the destruction that Brexit is, as well as the populusm that has damaged democracy, are their biggest legacies
She seems to think we all trusted, believed and respected the government until this report came out 😂
That's an odd takeaway from this speech considering she was saying the complete opposite. She said people don't trust us, and this is a small step toward restoring that trust.
how could you of watched the speech and still get it the wrong way round?
Ironically she did more to destroy trust in government and the democratic process than even Brown or Major.

The cheek of putting out all the moral discourses when SHE was one of the worst PMs on record. But sure, even a turd looks good compared to Boris.
@@BodyGuardOfLies1Absolutely correct.
Those few who voted against and the hundreds that abstained without a good reason showed contempt for the electorate. They don't care about standards in public office, and that tells you they're not fit to be an MP either.
Nice to hear a proper politician making a grown up speech. Hopefully Rees mogg is next.
Oh my god, they're falling apart far quicker than I ever hoped would be possible. Thank you Tories you've made my week 😘
Thank you Madam.
I am far from a Tory supporter but it was clear to see May was put up as the sacrificial lamb after a vote to commit to something a lot of people truly didn’t want to do. And though she didn’t agree with the leave vote as a leader she tried her best to commit to the outcome and push it through. Yet she constantly had “the children” stood on the sidelines making lots of noise, creating obstacles and making things difficult and in some cases impossible to move forwards. Whilst smiling to her face and at the same time sharpening the knives they continually stabbed her in the back with. Out of the last five prime Ministers she maybe could have been the best and most reputable 🤷♂️
Great comment 👏
Thank you! I do hope these words stay Standing!
Amazing lady - last of a kind of honourable tories
She is right but it's been going downhill in the public's eyes for many years. Up to now words are said but actions are lacking
Nothing to do with “revenge”, FFKS.
It’s still kind of mind-blowing to see the former PM in Parliament. It’s like seeing a former POTUS in Congress. 😎
It’s rare that former PM’s continue as an MP after leaving Downing Street. Edward Heath was another exception as he was an MP for another 37 years. Theresa May seemed uncomfortable and ill at ease as PM, although she appears more assured as a backbencher MP.
@@spartybrearly7221 I think you're right but I suspect much of the discomfort during her time as PM was created by the members of her own party rather than the opposition.
@@spartybrearly7221James Callaghan, John Major and Gordon Brown too at some point.
It's actually more common than not for PMs to remain on the backbenches until the general election following their resignation in order to complete the term that their constituents elected them to complete. It is rather rare for former PMs to continue seeking re-election in later elections. However, at least 2 that I can think of, namely May and Heath, have done so.
POTUS doesn't have to be a member of the House of Representatives to be POTUS, @crazman8472. A British PM, however, has to be a member of the House of Commons. More often than not, a former PM completes his/her term as an MP after resigning as PM. Looking back over the last 50 years, I respect the ones who did so, like May, Brown, Thatcher, Callaghan, Heath, Major, and even Truss. I find it telling (since they're my least favourites) that the odd ones out are Blair, Cameron, and Johnson, who all couldn't get out of the Commons fast enough on leaving 10 Downing.
May the biggest traitor in the House of Commons sold us out with her Brexit deal
Biggest traitor? Not even close those were the charlatans that pushed Brexit.
Rubbish it was the best deal we could have got.
Time for a General election?

It's glaring that similar speechifying isn't taking place about the lies that were shoveled out during Brexit.
Look Boris, here is an example of integrity
For all those MPs that didn't attend including the PM and the cabinet should be given their P45s, and by elections for their seats commence forthwith. It's a damning enditement when our so could elected MPs refuse to cooperate in such a vote. Pigs and troughs spring to mind.
A comment - too little too late. The fact remains, as a firm Conservative Party voter for most of my working life, I will never vote for them again. We desperately need REFORM and the sooner the better.
The obsession with net zero, of the two main parties is already starting to ruin the economy. We need a fresh party like Reform as soon as possible.
There are always lessons in the actions we take. Especially the Boris Johnson’s life and political story. These include “you reap what you sow” and “pride comes before the fall!”
Vindictive lot these people we pay.
The dancing queen, Tusk and the other Eurocrats laughed at her and she was too weak to retaliate.
Too weak ..because the Tory Kcunts never supported her...and for Brexit...what a bollocks...the most stupid country on earth..at least May is a person of principles...have another look at what has happened in Plague Island for the last 6 years
I disagree with their politics at a fundamental level, but her and rishi are adults (securely attached) in a sea of cess.
She worked hard and tried hard. I respect that.
Sadly too many in the country are impressed by a narcissists charm.
she who laughs last laughs longest
well said Madam. Calm, reasoned, well-argued points, putting Parliament above party, a thing we've lacked in more recent holders of your previous office.
That blond narcissistic buffoon should NEVER be allowed back into Parliament for all the damage he's done.
She’s waited a long time to screw Boris over and I’ll bet it felt great to finally get him.
Sad to say the bond of trust and respect between the citizens and this Parliament died many years ago. What alternative reality does Theresa May exist in that she appears to believe the people trust this Government to do the right thing in any aspect of their duties?
Nail firmly hit on the head.
Very well said indeed. Like it or not she is indeed right. At last a member of Parliament with ente integrity
Reminds me of the old saying, “whoever laughs last, laughs longest”, and I can’t hear the buffoon Johnson laughing anymore 🤣. Other than because he took the whole country for mugs and made millions of pounds for his rich mates whilst he was PM 😐
It is not revenge (how petty to say that). It is just being honest and fighting for the truth ! As Thomas More said, a long time ago : “Howbeit, this one thing, son, I assure you on my faith, that if the parties will at hands call for justice, then, all were it my father stood on the one side, and the devil on the other, his cause being good, the devil should have right.”
Well said!

They should be focusing on making people's lives better, not petty schoolyard revenge games.
Go Theressa!. 👏
Best speech she's ever made
Nice one Theresa!
Surely one of the most memorable political speeches in recent history and, what's more, Theresa May has spoken for all who are sick and tired of the lies and utter deceit of Bumbling Boris and all those in the seat of power who equally abused the Lockdown Rules. Shame on them! Every honour given out in the Dishonourable Boris's Honours List should be returned immediately. Enough is enough!
Its not revenge,its true
Why did she make him Foreign Secretary? She is a Boris enabler. A bit late now for this wonderful speech!
They're all a pack of Wolf's. I like the bit where may says there are one rule for the Government and one rule for the people. if that's the blooming case how about changing it instead of just talking about it May?
Makes me think about them partying whilst were in lockdown👍💉😷💉😷🙉
This is probably the best thing she has ever done
Revenge is a dish best served cold.
While I may not agree with her policies I have the utmost respect for Theresa May.
Regardless of your view this woman has some integrity and is the only one who cared about our country, not her own career
Integrity, yer, just not as far as Brexit was concerned. Do tell, are you a Remainiac by any chance, as they seem particularly fond of May. Now why might that be.

@DavidManifield I assume you are referring to Lee Anderson. Do tell, are you most irritated by him simply because he is a Conservative. Or is it that he, being one of a tiny minority amongst our political elite, who has actually had a 'real' job, got his hands dirty,( literally, as a former miner), who has crossed to the other side. Not a middle class, mostly university educated, member of the elites, who now dominate across all the political spectrum in Britain, including Labour. Or does he particularly get your hackles raised because, as i said, he was once a member of Labour, but dumped them. Having realised how they no longer represent the working class, whom they were once committed to. Instead, the current Labour mob are not only made up of those in the group mentioned, but are now also obsessed with identity politics. While at the same time actually seeming to despise Britain, its history, and its still mostly white population. What is your reason for singling out Anderson? Maybe just another lefty, Liberal suffering from Anderson angst.

An example has to be made thus ensuring that it doesn’t happen again by a boris 2.0
One of the peculiarities of the British Parliament is that it is actually illegal to resign as a Member of Parliament. This is why MPs use the device of an appointment to an "office of profit under the Crown", as it then disqualifies them from sitting the House. Very simply, it should not be allowed to appoint anyone to such an office if there is an investigation into misconduct of the member by an appropriate Parliamentary body. Make the MP stay in office until the matter is settled and if misconduct is found, the appropriate punishment is handed down. After that, they can quit in the normal way. The biggest problem with the current system is that it has no teeth to hold past members to account for their behaviour while in office. Yes, quitting loses them their seat but people like BJ would never want to stay as a back-bencher anyway. The ignominy of being an OPPOSITION back-bencher would be a hammer blow to the ego he is simply incapable of sustaining.
It's notable how empty the government benches where
Where was Theresa Mays sincerity and logic when she had the opportunity to keep the UK in the EU?
this is a friends and enemies moment , Boris is the fall guy but many are equally guilty but have been given a get out of jail card on both sides , no body is innocent they are all equally responsible this is a perfect example of parliament gate another episode in a soap opera of Dallas proportions
it only shows a fear of the rise of Phoenix of the people using their diplomatic right to be heard over the Westminster elite who have contempt towards democracy and the electorate, the only upside to this matter is that Boris and liz realist that the hounds of hell were after there bones and escaped the pack seeking blood , to tread a different path even with their victory and the resignations they show their true colours by wanting to twist the knife for their revenge , this is not the first time or the first victim of the bubble and will not be the last.
Bitter remainers have yoked all the power and means they can muster to scalp brexit figureheads.. this will not end until we rejoin the EU ... probably towards the back end of the next parliament
Boris IS THE ELITE. Mogg IS THE ELITE. SWEET JESUS . Etonians bitching about elites. Rank Hypocrisy.
Mrs May has a robust maturity here. A contrast to the prima donna temper tantrums of Boris
Revenge? No, Its just ethics. Writing these sorts of headlines is a practice closer to 'revenge'
What about all the other MPs who broke the rules?
This isn’t about breaking the law. It’s about lying in parliament.
@michaeldick6227 Absolutely, telling lies in Parliament is appalling. Now who told a lie, one based on a dodgy dossier, which led this country into a war. A war costing thousands of lives, and leaving the UK as a prime target for Islamist attacks. I believe it was one T Blair. Now considering Johnson has been destroyed over lies re. Partygate, a 'sin' which others were equally guilty of, wonder what punishment was meted out to the said Blair. Oh wait, sweet FA, and further, he is regularly invited to give his ' valuable' opinions across the MSM. But hey, what's a little war compared to cake eating.
Theresa May was talking about how important it was for the public to know that there wasn’t one rule for them and another rule for politicians. Her little speech was exactly about breaking lockdown rules!
@barbaracollins8572 Yes, and as I said, telling lies in Parliament is wrong. But as far as that whole bunch of cowardly, duplicitous, self-serving lot are concerned, few, if any, are not guilty of telling lies to the whole country at one time or another. Including the exaggeration of Covid, which led to lockdown in the first place. Johnson is being held up for sins most are guilty of. But, as far as many of our political class are concerned, his chief 'sin" is that of getting Brexit done.
