...this guy Boris is beginning to disgust me, beyond my dislike of his views.

'' "My point is, just as the Australian policy is an egregious breach of international law and refugee law and human rights law, so too is this proposal by the United Kingdom government," she told the BBC.''

This is being done for one reason only. It is not in anyway to stem the flow or disrupt the smugglers, but it is done to promote their party as doing something to stop migrants coming in which is feeding myths into their racist voters.

In reality they will only send single men there and of course they claim it is for processing but in reality it is not. Even those who are successful which 75% tend to be, will not be allowed to return to the UK. They will be forced to stay there.

Well you know exactly what will happen then, they will be making their way back once again to the UK from there unless they are locked up there.

This is the lowest UK has been in terms of criminality towards the very countries and people they are actually taking part in destabilising.

In essence Britain has just joined the people smuggling rings.

In the meantime BoZo had told his MPs that the BBC and the Archbishop is taking sides for the refuges and not even mentioning the Ukrainian war against Putin.

Of all the leaders we end up with the worst asshole as a leader in these times.

So he was sheepish in parliament and pretended to apologise for the parties he had been having while the public could see their sick relatives and burry their dead and then he walks into the 1922 committee and it was as if it was an injustice to have to apologise.

No wonder his MPs refused to vote against the Labour motion to investigate him.

I suspect he will be gone soon after May local elections.

Being a born cynic - and not speaking in defence of Johnson, whom I have my own non-partygate related problems with - I doubt it.

There just doesn't seem to be anybody these days that sticks out as an obvious replacement. The dearth of capable politicians across the entire western world seems to finally be catching up on us.

He is using the excuse that he has not finished levelling up and there is a war in Ukraine. Neither of these facts make any difference with him being PM. He has no intention to do any levelling up, he is pretending he will but he is going to set it up in such a way that it will not be spent and then he can blame the locals when the locals have no say in how the money is spent. As to Ukraine, it has fuck all to do with him. Him delivering weapons has only prolonged the war and has caused more deaths. But than again he is good at killing people just like his hero was.

What changes has Boris Johnson made?

PM removed all references to
“integrity, objectivity, accountability, transparency, honesty and leadership in the public interest”


The primary alteration that has taken place within the code is that it now allows ministers to apologise rather than having to resign if they are deemed to have breached the rules. This comes as Johnson is facing an inquiry by the Commons Privileges Committee into whether he himself broke the code by misleading Parliament and telling them that there were no lockdown-breaking parties in Downing Street.

A Government policy statement said it was “disproportionate” to expect ministers to resign or be sacked for “minor” violations of the code’s standards. A lesser sanction, such as “some form of public apology, remedial action or removal of ministerial salary for a period” has been included in the update.

An additional major change sees the independent adviser now able to initiate an investigation into potential breaches of the code. Previously only the Prime Minister could do this, although the code’s updated version now states that the final decision will remain with the PM.

The Cabinet Office said in a statement: "The government has been mindful of the need to avoid incentives for trivial or vexatious complaints which may be made for partisan reasons. Such complaints can undermine public confidence in standards in public life rather than strengthen it."

Opposition parties are less than impressed with this decision as they feel there will now be less scrutiny on those in power. Labour said that the PM removed all references to “integrity, objectivity, accountability, transparency, honesty and leadership in the public interest” from his own foreword to “save his own skin” while Deputy leader Angela Rayner said: “This Prime Minister is downgrading and debasing the principles of public life before our very eyes.”

Perhaps there is hope yet.

Just when Boris Johnson thought he was out of the woods, he gets dragged back in.

You can imagine the mood in Downing Street last night when YouGov’s latest research landed.

Its modelling suggests that the Conservatives are currently on course to lose all but three of their 88 key battlegrounds at the next general election, including the Prime Minister’s seat in Uxbridge, and various vital Red Wall constituencies.

That extraordinary finding has sent shivers through Tory ranks and done little to quell anger about Mr Johnson’s conduct.

The Prime Minister’s colleagues are jittery. Despite Rishi Sunak’s £15bn intervention to discount rising energy bills, Conservative MPs in marginal seats fear the threat from Lib Dem and Labour challengers.

Several say privately that they have already started looking for future employment. One Conservative MP who’s defending a crucial marginal seat tells i: “The opposition parties don’t want the PM to go anywhere. Ask yourself why that is.”

We better get used to this. King BoZo is taking us back to before time begun.

A shilling or a “Bob”, is worth 12 pence, or 3 Groats, fourpence coins.
Shillings were originally referred to as Testoons and were first produced during the reign of King Henry VII, from 1485 to 1509.
The name changed to Shilling in the 1600s.

Voting is being announced in a few minutes.

Finally

Well there you have it folks.

BoZo wins a confidence vote by Tory MPs 211 to 148.

Like a wounded animal in a few months, he will be put out of his misery. He has nowhere to go.
