- In a dramatic moment to match Christian Wakeford defecting, Tory MP and former minister David Davis has urged Boris Johnson to go. He told Johnson he had spent weeks defending him from “angry constituents”, including by reminding them of the “successes of Brexit”.

"I expect my leaders to shoulder the responsibility for the actions they take. Yesterday he did the opposite of that", he said. Davis then raised the roof by concluding with a quote from Leo Amery to Neville Chamberlain: "You have sat there too long for all the good you have done. In the name of God, go.”

"I take full responsibility" - Bojo
"Nobody told me it was against the rules" - also Bojo
The first was for his constituents and party
The second was for his bankers handlers..
Didn't he say :" I take full whiskey bottle" ?
same person - different faces.
I take full responsibility... Of everything that was successful :P
If Johnson doesn't recognise THAT quote, is he also lying about having written that biography of Winston Spencer-Churchill?
Johnson, lie? such a thing, it's unimaginable
My guess Doris had a ghost writer for that book.
Doris do all the hardwork researching for that book?
¹¹
And you claim you recognise it? It is a quote from Cromwell, not Churchill. So who's lying now, boyo?
@@TroyaE117 Oh dear, you need to listen to Mr Davis, don't you? He wasn't quoting Cromwell, he was quoting Leo Amery to Neville Chamberlain. Go on, listen to it. And since your ability with details is patently compromised, Neville Chamberlain was replaced as prime minister of this country by Winston Spencer-Churchill. Apparently Johnson wrote a biography of him. But if Johnson does not recognise the quote that certainly helped Spencer-Churchill to the premiership, am I to believe he wrote that book? Eh? Er....boyo?
After a tough few years, it's some consolation to see the Conservative Party tear itself apart.
Sadly, many British voters seem to think the Tory party changes somehow when they get a different leader. They'll probably get elected again.
@@Molotov_Milkshake Oh no doubt. I'd rather Boris stay in to continue damaging the Tories. Getting another leader doesn't solve a thing. Like you say, they'll just get elected again. It's actually a bad thing for Labour.
The tories in crisis will still win the next election. What does that say about the Labour Party.
A tough few years that has seen us leave the eu tyranny, see unemployment and youth unemployment at an all time low, be the first to roll out the vaccines, have one of the lowest death tolls in europe etc?
Shut it you utter leftie parrot.
@@Molotov_Milkshake this is what gest me.
Johnson is just a standard tory only lacking the ability to shroud himself properly.
don't get how someone can look at someone who's 100% on brand and think that a different tory would be better.
I wanna vote for whichever MP laughed when Davis said at least Boris delivered Brexit.
😆😆
@@cassius348 Powester said they 'wanna', not will.
@@cassius348 That's not really how jokes work. Shows how much you lack a sense of humour.
Take control of our own borders he said ( and now we are paying the frog's to do it) that's not taking control that's called wasting TAX payers money - that's the same Tory party thinking (robbing peter to pay Paul ) and still they come in their droves,although some make it in body bags.
Anyway just go you pompous out of touch ******* !
well he did deliver brexit whether you support it or not
You know you're gone when your own party uses PMQ's to turn on you.
Cowardly bunch!
It's called integrity, loyalty is the enemy of justice.
@@maggiesanders294 In what way Maggie.
Cowardly for sticking the knife in.
Or for protecting the conservative party from wipeout ...?
A few days ago Sophie Raworth interviewed Sir Keir regarding his party, sorry "work meeting" and he was a disaster, Sophie was running rings around him. The interview is on TH-cam.
"I don't know the quote he is alluding to"... the one he literally just quoted.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
It would not surprise me at all if he doesn't know who Mr. Chamberlain is.
Seems like "taking responsibility" doesn't mean "taking the consequences"
For me, it would be resigning
It was just a matter of time before someone said it.
Surprised it was David Davis though.
My respect for him would be greater but he honestly can't help but bring up brexit time and again
It would be more meaningful if David Davis wasn’t also a certified muppet
Stop being surprised. They're all in on this. They're trying to save face, and especially trying to make it look like parliament isn't just a charade. How much you wanna bet this guy was also in the party Boris was in?
A few days ago Sir Keir Starmer was interviewed by Sophie Raworth regarding his party, sorry "work meeting" and he was a disaster. The interview is now on TH-cam.
Knives flying around the House of Commons... And in backstabbing the Conservative Party have really many skilled people.
"the success of brexit" said my man with a straight face😂😂🤣🤣
Former Brexit Minister - so if anyone would, it would be him
I loved the laughter in the background. Tells you everything, really.
He will never resign he is a coward
Paycheck's too sweet.
@@elmariachi112 Chicken feed though isn’t it?
@@AK-nq4li I believe that is what he called it, yes. It's the power he craves.
More like narcissist
Not a coward, just desperate to hold onto power.
That was badass.
Respect to David Davis, a rather rare and brave example shown by a Member of the Conservative Party!
He is a Boris hater from day 1. So cant take him seriously. If Boris goes they lose my vote.
@@robertkarake9791 on the contrary he worked well with Boris in the early days of the May government with Liam fox as the Brexiteers he then saw how ridiculous and immature Boris is and turned away from him (also I wish to make clear I'm no Davis fan especially after seeing his naive approach to Brexit)
@@robertkarake9791 why?
@@robertkarake9791 If Boris stays, they lose my vote.
Their vote from me was lost long ago. Boris has helped keep it that way.
Wish the lot of these public schoolboy liars would just dissapear
We should make sure no politicians are privately educated, never helped us in the past.
Abolish private schools
Does that include,blair,benn, and Miliband,and many other labour mps,
@@lesliehall7683 Yes.
Still blaming labour 🤔😭😭😂😂😂😂@@lesliehall7683
Starmer is as much a liar as Cummings!
This is peak entertainment.
Bread and circuses for the masses whilst we each get infinitely poorer.
A lot more to follow
👍🏼
To see these bare face lies bunch of buffoons make a hash brown of everything, yes I agree but even better is when their nose stops growing longer like Pinocchio.
@@paddyanglais91 you are alone because you don't know us
I must say I am dismayed at the expense defrayed in educating Mr. Johnson when he displays that he does not know that quote.
I always thought that if you took responsibility for something, you had to take responsibility for it. ....
🤦🏼♂️
How many people in power have stepped down for less
🤣
Uk politics is just a pantomime of toffery
If he's taking full responsibility then surely that means resigning
Love the line about Boris "successfuly delivering Brexit" being met with hilarity and laughter at the insanity of it.
He won’t resign. To resign he would need to actually understand what he’s done was wrong. Which he will never do. He has no conscience and thinks he can do what he likes and can just get away with it.
Sir Keir had a party, sorry "work meeting" with drinks and a few takeaways enjoyed by all who were there. Will Sir Keir resign?.
@@dragonfly6908 did he put the rules in the place? Is he the prime minister in charge of the country?
The Mask Plague: It´s a "theater piece", to appease the public.
@@Themaskplague the hypocrisy of what you are saying.
@@kelliehand1 no hypocrisy at all. To try and use whataboutisms concerning starmer is ridiculous. The two situations are clearly different and if you can’t see that you’re either blind or deluded . I’ll let you pick which one ?
it's a shame all the NHS effort went into saving BJ's life...now BJ is out to wipe out NHS workers with his desperate measures...BJ is disgusting...he MUST resign
Well done Sir for some glimmer of hope that integrity can prevail. It remains to see how many others have this.
Looks like he is lying to the house again if he does not recognise that quote.
Aren’t they the words of Oliver Cromwell?
Yes - Amery was quoting Cromwell.
I thought Davis was going to quote Cameron's "for God's sake man just go" slight to Corbyn back in the day.
I'd imagine that was Cameron's own spin on the original quote
@@aaronhurst4379 you would have to assume so.
See it from the positive side : at least they pray in the parliament !
Then who will lead when most were guilty themselves
I only wish Davis had got a bit more worked up as he said it, with some real fire in his belly. But what a great moment!
Well..if Bo Jo can’t recognise when he’s at a party what hope does he have remembering a quote. Responsibilities come with actions. It’s time he was responsible (and resigned) rather than just saying he’s responsible.
AMEN
"I dont know what quotation he was alluding to" He just told you man...
Did he say he didn’t know anything about that quote , and he’s the prime minister.
The brass neck of the baffoon is historic
What does "taking full responsibility" mean? Can we all sue him?
No, it means taking responsibility for the actions of HIM and his party. A leader is accountable for the actions of their team, they have to take responsibility if there have been failings in communicating what is expected, what is right and what is wrong. His pathetic defence NOW is that he didnt know it was wrong.... so he isnt taking any of it. Very very bizarre
@@freakstate The answer to the question "What does taking full responsibility mean?" can't be... "It means taking responsibility. I think Kier would do well to dissect that in Parliament, given that it's a slogan Boris likes to throw around.
Words with no meaning... to him at least..
@@TheDandonian well said
Because yesterday Borris made a U turn "Nobody told me" statement which abs reversed his first full responsibility. I think he's buying time for Sue Grays last minute intervention
The trial has been given the go ahead. Nuremberg 2.0 is underway in the UK under the Met and CID. Hammersmith station took the charges. They're hefty. We're talking The Hague.
L O L David Davis will replace Boris? No one is better than Boris Johnson.
It would take an honourable and truthfu man to admit his short comings unfortunately Boris is neither.
Neither is Sir Keir Starmer, a few days ago he was interviewed by Sophie Raworth regarding his party, sorry "work meeting" and he was s disaster,. The interview is on TH-cam.

Someone in the background cracking up as soon as he mentions "Brexit"
“The buck stops with me”. (Boris Johnson, 24/7/19)
Perhaps he meant it stops with him and then goes into his wallet?
First, Harry S. Truman. Dropped the atom bomb after the Japanese recklessly reacted to broken treaties which involved GB. The immorality of nations is so obfuscated it requires a diploma. Power feeds undercover of confusion.
If at first you don't succeed.
Pass the buck.
Johnson's motto.
Boris didn't know... It's not like he wrote the rules... 🤔 😅
I just came back here to rewatch this and it’s from FIVE MONTHS ago!
This parliament hasn't even sat for 3 years yet. Feels like a decade
Keep Boris as PM, because who will take over. No thanks
can you imagine gove. gdamn
I whole heartedly believe we should scrap political parties.
There are clearly some Tory politicians, like this one, who I quite like.
John Bercow for instance I was always quite happy to have speak for me, despite not liking the Tory party itself.
On the flipside there are definitely a few Labour politicians I really dislike, despite being a Labour voter more often that not.
I think the majority of the time people treat it like football team allegiances: just voting for "their party" regardless.
I think you should just be given a list of representatives for your area, and what their beliefs and values are, and then trust that they go into parliament and vote on matters on your behalf and speak for you.
It's a broken system where I would happily have John Bercow speak for me as an individual, but could never vote for him because he was a Tory, or would have to vote for some individuals I really dislike, simply because I need their party to be in power.
I would never vote labour and if boris does go then I hope labour doesn't take his place.
Boris Johnson need to resign
David Davis you legend - is something I never thought I could bring myself to type, what is happening to this country!!!!!
He's right. Boris hasn't delivered Brexit and the people are not happy about it.
And replace him with who?
As a Scottish Nationalist please please keep Boris Johnson PM in your Tory English Parliament. Every time he speaks and parties we are closer to our Independence.
Boris lost ALL the Credibility he thought he had !!
No Confidence Just GO !
Bit of a drama queen is Davis.
He's only jealous that his own career never reached the heights of the top job at No10.
Taking responsibility is more than words OR IT IS MEANINGLESS it requires action. For God's sake GO!
so why is it that labour had a christmas party 2021 but yet only boris is being called out, this is a setup by labour to get into parliament
When and if he goes he could be replaced with some far worse then him
Boris needs to go… what a disgrace
I am the Gingerbread man you can't catch me...
As much as I'm not a fan of johnson, I do not want him to go ,any body else would be a complete disaster,
He claims to be taking responsibility yet is shifting all responsibility on the report. Either he is lying or so incompetent he doesn't recognise the difference between a work event and a party. Either way, he clearly isn't fit to be leader.
If only Boris had listened not only a year after
Calling for resignation, for a party...........
More circus for the sheep :)
All over the country, police forces were sending armed response units to parks and such if they had a report of two little old ladies sitting on a park bench having a natter.
Every single person who attended one of these illegal parties needs to not just be sacked, but fined the 10k with which we were all threatened.
It doesnt matter what happens. The current PM is only going to be replaced with another selfish birk
He has gotta go
Abraham Lincoln said, "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt." Another quote Boris never heard of.
Pfff! All these politicians excitedly kicking Boris while he's down, so they can get ahead and do as equally as bad a job.
It's called holding our leaders to account for their actions. I know Boris doesn't understand the concept of integrity. If he had a shred of it he'd resign.
@@jib7863 if they want to hold him to account they should trigger a no confidence vote or stop whining.
@@jib7863 The people hold leaders to account at the elections, having an unelected prime minister is far worse than having a party in lockdown.
@@jam4631 All he has to do is answer the questions asked of him. Why is that so difficult for him?
@@jam4631 Wait. You think politicians are only held to account by the people at a general election. I don't think you understand how democracy works...
Mr Davis, my wife and I salute you. Wise words spoken by a true gent
Never seen so many liars in one room!!!
I don't know what he is talking about .... 👍Great PM
Can he repeat this again but at Liz Truss?
I'm just laughing at the dudes sat on the stairs like kids
This man should have been leader but we got Cameron then Johnson!
Isn’t it funny how they want boris to resign for going to a “party” yet NO ONE else needs to or was it just him at this party?
No it wasn't just him but he is in charge the buck stops with him
@@twistedcherrypop ow so you do support one rule for one one rule for another, please explain why it wasn’t ok for him to brake the rules but the other people there were
Or is it just that you don’t like bojo?
@@jamesearljohns548 he is the prime minister he leads the country if he resigns he will still be a mp for his constituent it’s just we need a leader who doesn’t do one thing and tell the country to do another that’s the point of it. He broke ministerial code and every other person under him who broke ministerial code has also resigned so how comes he who leads the country decides he shouldn’t?
@@yb6399 what’s it like to be a lier?? No one has resigned because of the party, typical liberal lying about stuff
Exactly. Some of these alleged parties that took place in April 2021 happened when Boris wasn't even in Downing Street he was at Chequers..
This is comedy gold
The rest of the party are as bad as Boris
David Davis's comment to Boris is so true. Time to go.
Yeah, guess who wants his job.
i'm an expat that's been livin in this country now for 8 years.....as an observer/outsider, i find it very curious how this country manages to go through prime ministers so quickly. lol
It's because we had a highly divisive referendum that changed a lot of how we operated as a country. The PM David Cameron, who promised to have the referendum, ended up on the losing side. How could a government that had won a General Election be behind a leader who was against what has become central to that party? PM Theresa May was his successor. She never really won a General Election outright, needing the DUP in a coalition to get over the threshold. Her government couldn't deliver a Brexit that a majority could agree to. Now we have Boris, who happened to win a landslide, delivered Brexit and then got swept up in the pandemic. Funnily enough, reading what I've written I sound like a Tory voter. Not at all. I'm a Socialist and voted Remain haha. That being said, facts are facts. I'm not going to poopoo the otherside just because they're 'not my team'
Because there all from the same rotten barrel, self serving and corrupt. A leopard can't hide its spots forever.
Countrys run by a circus
David Davis - Did nothing during his time as Secretary of State at the Department for Exiting the European Union. Allegedly demanded his own private jet to fly to Europe for negotiations. Could be one of the laziest MPs at Westminster who is full of their own self importance. If anyone should or should have resigned - its him!
Do you think they both should resign?
Please Boris, just leave us alone.
No point in getting rid of Boris , they need to put everything back to how it was before him . They never do that , they get rid of the pm while keeping all the changes he made . So again , getting rid of him does nothing .
I think you will find it does
@@michaelking9818 idk michael, even w bojo out, we'll just have the next corrupt tory in office. nothing will change until we have a GE, and even then the british electorate will have forgotten all about this by then so torys will be voted in again (and it's not like starmer is bringing anything to the table)
Sir Keir Starmer was interviewed by Sophie Raworth a few days ago regarding his party, sorry "work meeting" and he was a total disaster. trying to explain it. This interview is on TH-cam.
Boris Johnson pretending he doesn't know that quote? he wrote a biography on Winston Churchill LOL
He doesn't take an ounce of responsibility. What a coward.
He has no idea what the word responsibility actually means.
And that should be obvious by now to everyone.
Who needs Johnson!
This was actually originally a quote from Oliver Cromwell speaking to Parliament at gunpoint
Was that a quote from Cromwell? Oliver, not Thomas.
A hypocritical person who has no modesty. If he had modesty, he would have resigned, and parliamentarians should expel Boris and the police arrest Boris
I'm just here again to watch this man speak 😂😃
...because he wants his job!!
They are all pathetic, Davis being the worst
RESIGN
Go boris we understand if you dont, Go now
when will he realise "taking responsibility" is different to taking responsibility.
From the guy that can't take responsibility for combing his hair!!
Boris is a joke like a Trump!
Theatre of vampires
David Davis is in my opinion the leader we should have at these hard times. If Boris goes and with all his mistakes I hope he stays but if he goes then David Davis would be the prime I would vote for.
After so much hard work Boris should be given a second chance.
Through the first stone who never made a mistake
Second chance? If Boris was any other politician he'd have resigned about 20 times by now.
You go David
Never trust a grown man who wears his hair like a child.
We are after you Dave 👍💯
What a turn coat.. He was no better at the EU negotiating table.. What else can you expect from a remain in the EU advocate
Apparently you can’t transmit covid when you ate stood up and speaking, but you can when sat down and listening. Who knew?
