Man Boris is the golden god . Truly did us real Europeans all a huge favor . He got rid of the English . Have all the parties you want, mate.
Ha ha
So two government employees leaving their job is a valid excuse to disregard the social distancing rules, but attending a funeral of a loved one or going to see them at the hospital, is not???
But in their minds we're just the peasantry, they think themselves aristocrats & have created a system where that is almost a reality.
Precisely.
One rule for the Old Etonians ...another for the plebs.
But let's be honest, is anyone really surprised?? This part of wider issue where in Democracy people get taken in by what they want to hear rather than the facts, and the facts are that we have a political class that for the most part has never worked a day in their lives, born with a silver spoon in their mouth and never had to be held accountable for their actions, this is who we voted for... So why do we expect these ppl to understand our struggles, let alone fix them.
What you have to remember is the fact that there is something known as 'perfect social distancing' and something else known as 'imperfect social distancing.' With the former everyone follows the rules to the letter reguarding social distancing and abides by the two-metre and one-metre rule. With imperfect social distancing there may be situations where someone unintentionally closes the gap between oneself and their neighbour to a distance of less than two or one metres. This was particularly the case during the hokey-cokey when one was required to put ones left leg in and in doing so, one's left leg would by chance close to less than one metre of one's neighbours left leg, which is all very fine and understandable. As far as vomit on the walls it was more a case of the wall closing within less than one-metre of the person vomiting as opposed to a person vomiting closing to within one metre of the walls.
True signs of a narcicist. He's told himself so much that he did nothing wrong. He actually believes it! 😂😂😂
When Boris Johnson farts, he thinks he's doing an AirWick advert 🤣
He can't stand being criticised - it really enrages him to be challenged! He's such a narcissist!
You can see his barely contained anger at being called out.
Yeah, that's the main thing I've taken away from it - he hates being challenged and criticised... his mask starts to slip and you can see the vile monster behind it.
I have been told (by a medical specialist) that he is displaying the traits of a psychopath, in addition to his narcissism.
with narcissist u must mean typical averge politician. they come in 3 flavors narcissists, sociapaths or psychpaths. Tony Blair i rest my case.
@@JohnWick-zl5oc Most politicians can deal with criticism better than Johnson, I've never seen one who takes it so personally! He would be the same in parliament when challenged by Keir Starner, you could tell when a question hit the mark because he would lash out. It's not a good look!
I was working on a hospital ward where we snuck in a family member for a patient who was being transferred to a care home… everybody was aware it would be the last time they saw them alive.
Our government were having parties.
I no longer live in the UK, but like the world over, was subject to many restrictions. In general, I was lucky, though. The only thing I really regret was not being able to be present at the birth of my first child. I feel like Covid robbed me of that, but I fully understand why the restrictions were in place, and can't complain in that respect.
It really angers me that I made this (involuntary) sacrifice, whilst the likes of Johnson put two fingers up to the rules he created.
I can only imagine how furious people are with much sadder stories than my - the people who missed funerals and couldn't be there with dying loved ones. Then there are those who didn't make it, who were forced to die alone. My "sacrifice" pails in comparison.
And what compounds the issue is his steadfast refusal to take any real responsibility. He loves to say he does with words, but his actions make it clear he really doesn't. All he cares about is himself. Such a selfish, disgraceful individual, wholly unsuited for any public position, let alone that of Prime Minister!
Did you vote Leave in the Referendum?
Shame on them..
@@milsub59 what does that even matter lol. The UK government was partying while people couldn't even see their family members while they were dying. Focus on that. Leave or remain wouldn't change that fact.
@@gman8796 Because those who voted leave , put Johnson into power. The very same people are now complaining about his partying whilst others suffered......try joining some dots for a change?
Let's get real here: Did he break the rules? Yes. Did he mislead Parliament? Yes. The end.
Repeatedly! He lied every single time he appeared on PMQs and he never answered his untruths. I’m amazed there even had to be a meeting. He lies ALL THE TIME and is known for it.
@@Lynnefromlyn indeed. Sadly, he'll likely wriggle out of this too. They always do.
Did get fined like the criminal he is? Yes
He’s trying to worm his way out of this .
@@dullaf4099 he got £50 -and I expect he had a whip round to help pay that too! Not the £10,000 some poor student had to cough u0, and lose his uni course because of it! I do not wish him well. I wish everything bad for him.
Case closed
The biggest lie is yet to come when they find him innocent
Too true time for a reset !!. Get rid of the lot of them !!.
I've been expecting that too. He's like a very bad smell that can't be got rid of.
If that happens then we're in BIG trouble in this country !
I think that will be the death toll for the Tory party. No one respects or trusts them anymore and 13 years of bullshit and 5 Prime Ministers since 2016 just shows how pathetic these clowns and charlatans are.
How is there such a grey area? There isn't. These guys just got pissed and laughed at us.
Johnson pissed up most of the time and he sent workers to get alcoholic drinks from Tesco every day.He was pissed most of the time! Most of time pissed and a liability to the UK!
Well said, nigel hart
Allegra somebody or other smirked at the phrase 'social distancing '.She then resigned from her job working for BJ
Yes but to be fair Tory voters voted to be treated like numpties and lied to. They knew these people had a long history of constant rule breaking and compulsive lying with no morals whatsoever and they vote for them because of this. It is the innocent people I feel so very sorry for who had to suffer and be abused by these corrupt Brexiteer Tories because Tory voters wanted that.
There is somewhat of a grey area. As politicians they had to continue working during the pandemic, but their place of work was essentially also a place of residence. This really blurs the line between socialising and working. NHS staff eat lunch together not social distanced. Its not technically part of their job but obviously the reasonable thing to do is just sit together and eat lunch.
"You can't expect anyone in an environment like number 10..." To follow guidance. That's for the plebs. What a bloody narcissist.
If it was too hot in the kitchen for him,why didn't he get out earlier? You are right of course,he needs to feed his narcissitic needs and continues to do so,this is another example
Exactly! We had to ! 😅
No, to follow rules. The guidance existed where it was impossible to apply the rules.
just wait until Labour get in.....you can expect more of the same, in Albanian
@@kelvinpell4571 ah yes, because over the last 13 years the Tory’s have really gotten to grips with immigration, haven’t they? 😂
Folk died alone behind glass screens while he and his mates got drunk.
He and his cohorts in government are disgusting just trying to justify his version is quite simply taking us and those on the committee as complete idiots
B@stards
@@quietowl1246 glad you’re being polite ,cos I’ve got a better description of them and him
This is the kind of word salad a £100k/year education can give you
He literally says you cant expect people who work in Number 10 to have a fence around each others orbit, whilst telling us thats what we had to have in our daily lives. He still doesnt get it does he.
What I would add to that as well, is that people died alone, people mourned the deaths of loved ones alone. The fact that he seems to think that that is reasonable, and yet it's unreasonable to expect Number 10 staff to not socialise, intermingle and party is so unbelievably degrading and insulting it would be unbelievable if we hadn't been exposed to that mentality for the past 13 years. And that's not even getting into their attitude towards care workers and the NHS
there is very few civil servants working in downing street now a days most are advisors paid for by tory central office spin doctors and hangerons awaiting a safe seat and interns from the right family during uni breaks its like a frat party in there now rather then the well oiled meachine it was 25 years when i worked there
Hep does, he just doesn't accept it.
Was it really necessary for all the people in #10 to be there. As a community NHS practitioner, we worked from home for much of the time only carrying out home visits when there was an emergency i.e. somebody's life was at risk. On these occasions we had specific instructions on what (useless as it turns out) PPE we had to wear, when we had to don the PPE and how to dispose of it. When we then went home, we had to shower before we interacted with loved ones. In certain circumstances we were not allowed to go home until we had been tested and given the all clear.
So again, given that #10 appears to be packed to the rafters with staff, why were most of them not working from home?
The reality is that the Covid virus spread (and is still spreading) amongst the people whether the people were in No 10 or anywhere else. That was the whole point about social distancing, or didn't he get it after all of his briefings?
I just completely disagree with a leaving party being necessary. So many people left jobs and had no leaving celebration in person. You couldn't work from home and be like "oh we need to throw all the rules out as Jane from accounting is leaving". Awkward online events happened. The tone of incredulity when being questioned about it shows he really felt rules were beneath number 10.
How can you tell if Boris is lying? His lips are moving!
and when his lips are not moving he is concocting his next lie
A politician who does not lie does not deserve to be in office. The truth would destroy any government, any country.
@@archiemcberry7102 Rubbish
He managed to shoehorn more lies into a sentence, than there are words in it.
Meta lies... 😐
@@archiemcberry7102 Wrong.
"at the time I made my statement I didn't believe that I was lying, so therefore I couldn't have lied"
And just when you think he can't sink any lower...
If I recall Her Majesty The Queen kept socially distanced during the funeral of Prince Philip and yet Mr. Johnson felt it essential that he has a group farewell meeting because some people were leaving and going on to do another job. He is the most egregious person who has ever governed this country, no shame and no sense of morality.
100%
Bravo Boris Johnson. Our magnificent Prime Minister. So truthful, so honourable.
I cannot wait for his SECOND coming
Actually there's one nugget of wisdom which many people have missed. He offered to change the rules for the queen. She declined. That tells you everything you need to know about those two individuals.
@@davidgriffithsbjjcoach7207 Yeah . She was horrible
Has always been morally bankrupt 😡
So number 10 can have a brief farewell event. But you can’t say goodbye to your family for all of eternity.
"I don't know how I could have thanked people". Via Zoom Boris, like the rest of us did. Jesus Christ.
Send a card or a text message/email!
Moonpig!
"Oh, well we had screen in another room, so...."
Literally screaming at my laptop...
It's incredible the amount of stuff he CAN'T remember when it's negative to him,but has an incredible memory when he thinks it helps him.lncredible.
Selective memory 🤗
When ordinary people sitting on park bench on there own were threatened with arrest Boris carried on ignoring the government's own rules.
Rules that he made!!
Maybe that should tell you something sheeple.
His OWN rules
His defense seems to be "We followed the guidelines for 80% of the time so what's the big deal?"
It's like saying to the policeman who's pulled you over, "I do the speed limit 80% of the time so what's the big deal?"
Many people didn’t even leave their rooms when isolating. Theres no excuse.
Johnson was holding parties as if he was on another planet! Workers going to Tesco Express to get drinks for him permanently on lorry trollies?
You can't thank staff when people were not allowed to visit their dying loved ones or attend their funerals😢
Johnson has a perfect memory of how many people were at events, how long his speech lasted etc....but ask him if he said a specific sentence....sorry guv, I can't remember that, but it's unlikely I said it. Being under oath means nothing to Pinocchio Johnson.
well said
Liar . Boris Johnson conducted himself honourably and entirely truthfully.
His nose is big enough. Total buffone !!. Get rid he will get a job at Pepper Pig world !!.
@@russellmathews3599 ha ha
You can see the mask dropping with Johnson, he's getting more and more angry
RIP all those who died and were not allowed to see or say goodbye to their loved ones in their dying moments and sympathies to those friends and relatives who lost them who were following the guidance set by Boris Johnson’s government that he couldn’t be bothered to follow and obey.
Of course he lied and misled parliament.😡😡😡
To be fair there was a real deadly virus
On the other hand, it didn't do it's job when it caught Boris Johnson

Like my Beloved Maternal grandparents. They died a week apart in late January 2021. Thanks Boris, you're a goddamn liar
This reminds me of conversation I had with our 6 year old.
And he obviously won....you cretin
Notice when he feels a question is going somewhere he doesn’t want he leaps in and takes over
Pure Boris. Like Wheeler Dealers, know what we are getting. Or, like that Scottish darts player Jocky Wilson. Mr Consistency!!
I don’t recall anyone in the NHS having those “essential for moral” leaving drinks parties at work at the end of a 12 hour shift in full PPE ?
I recall seeing hard working medical and nursing staff leaving their shift exhausted, devastated and in tears because of what they had experienced. No chance of a merry, moral building get together. All we got was a thank you and an NHS lapel pin that broke as soon as one tried to put it on.
Nevermind trying to excuse himself, Capt BoJo should be holding his head in shame!!!
@@anne-mariemarshall I also recall those broken drs and nurses been unable to buy their shopping
Did anyone in the NHS lie to parliament?
This is the issue here
@@daveramsbottom Whilst the primary subject of the argument is the lies that the narcissist known colloquially as BoJo told to parliament, the ridiculous arguments and excuses he has presented in mitigation make the behaviour of staff in our NHS pertinent to the overall narrative of this debate 🤗.
As far as Boris is concerned the NHS staff morale was catered for by blagging some of the public to clap like sea-lions at them on their door steps. They instantly felt better & no need for an NHS lockdown party 😆
He attended his birthday party not observing social distancing to than staff but many people could not go to their parents who were in care homes to say goodbye to them or even wish them happy birthday. He knew the rules but chose to ignore them rotten to the core
This “how dare you try and hold me to the same rules everyone else has to follow” vibe he gives off is actually remarkable, no matter what he’s accused of he just simply believes he shouldn’t be bound by the same rules we have to follow
Rules that you followed religiously no doubt.
That's his entire life in a nutshell.
@@clowncollege90 This is one BIG echo chamber here…..HELLO!!!!!!!!
@@nick1065 It doesn't take much to desire the people making the rules follow them. Is Boris a man that can do no wrong in your eyes?
He made the rules then broke his own rules. Great to watch this cretin squirm like the worm he is. He obviously does not believe that he could have passed on his thanks to all his workers via Social Media. But then of course he would not be able to partake of the free booze sponsored by the PUBLIC.
The stupid thing is that he could of admitted to having a few drinks with colleges after work. It would be inevitable that number 10 would be filled with staffers and that he might break a rule or two. Instead, he attempted to gaslight us.
He's lying about not lying. He lied every time he was at that dispatch box
Boris is a liar and a cheat and he lied when he was pissed up at his parties and he lied when he was not pissed up at the despatch box! Boris is a liability to the Conservative party!
He lies every time he speaks.
Translation "You cant expect the rules to apply to me, I've always assumed rules are for others, not for ME!"
I loved when he said 'I wasn't there......what I recall from the event.....oh I was there, but for short time' then the bell rang for a vote 🤣
This man is unbelievable, actually unbelievable!!

' I recently suggested to a radio audience that he supposes himself to be Winston Churchill, while in reality being closer to Alan Partridge. Johnson would not recognise truth, whether about his private or political life, if confronted by it in an identity parade.'
Max Hastings article in The Guardian, 2019.
Wow….politicians lie. Hold the front page.
Church, his hero, also broke the rules. He was known for having secret banquettes while the rest of the country was subject to rationing. He just mimicked his inspiration.
He is like Churchill, let's remember that 95% of Churchill's career was disastrous. the difference is that Churchill had one time when he was exceptional, Johnson has had none.
@@slightlyconfused876 Yet
@@nick1065 lol, he’s all bluster and no substance, also, he’s finished.
So, I believe Boris indicated (by refusing to answer the question directly) that he will be agreeing with his friends that this is a kangaroo court if they do not exonerate him. Isn't that what he more or less said?
Basically the Donald J Trump playbook.
Question, Boris: If it was 100% necessary for work purposes, what were the drastic implications of NOT having the parties?
It would get very boring otherwise . 😆
Sat in that chair was one very bloody good reason why this country needs Proportional Representation!

Funny !!
I lost my 17yr career to these lies . With the Lords help and steadfast love I'm still standing . Sadly that is not true for many . Repent 😢
So two senior civil servants left their job so a party needed to be held. 'it didn't occur to me for one second that that was not necessary'.
Like many thousands of people my mother died in a care home then and for the previous six months, as a family, one of us could visit her only twice a week with full protection and no touching. We had to choose who could visit.
I know this is only one of many of such stories but given that the committe has gone onto the territory of 'were the events necessary', I think that the parties should be put into context. Given the opportunity my family would have said that seeing their mother and wife was necessary.
What really angers me is that he and the numpty tories have made this about parties, and labour, etc. have succumbed to that deception. The guidance was NOT about parties; it was about gatherings of a certain number of people.
We weren't attending funerals and birthdays, but he didn't realise that a send off for a colleague was against the rules!?
Even the Queen sat alone at Prince Philip's funeral to show solidarity with the rest of the country. The Tories were literally having a massive rave the night before, and I seem to remember they had at least another one within that same week
@@edwardwestmoreland-caunter6128 who would go to funerals mixingwith

He also didn't even think to ask for advice or own up ASAP after being found out and rumours came out
@@abbersj2935 Ihave and I think people who make a fuss about funerals and birthdays during covid outbreaks are wrong .
So to clarify what he is saying here.. farewells/appreciations were necessary for him, but people dying having family by their side was out of order.
Absolutely crazy honestly. I’m genuinely interested in what work he was thanking his staff for.. Nothing comes to mind for me lol
Drinking wine and gorging cheese.
Absolutely right in every answer Boris Johnson gave . So truthful. So honourable.
Precisely, people don't get another chance to say goodbye to loved ones but he could have arranged farewell drinks at a later date. He is beyond wicked and selfish.
At this point Boris is only lying to himself.😂
He could have thanked the person over the phone, not at a ‘party’. One rule for the elite another for us
That's using elite in a very limited way.
I would reserve it for people like David Attenborough, Gandhi, Mandela and a very few others.
That's what means elite. Not this lying buffoon.
He really doesn’t like being held to the same rules as us mere plebs….
Why are they debating whether or not he broke the rules? He's already accepted that he did. The question is *when* did he know that he'd broken them, and when did he tell parliament?
exactly
Since when has ignorance ever been a valid excuse? Why is it even being considered as a possibility when it was his government that wrote the rules?
I remember when Greg Dyke resigned as BBC Chair. He took the wrap for a failure at the organisation because he was head of the organisation. As he said at the time, 'I can't know everything that happens in the BBC, but I am responsible for it' so that's that. I see no difference here. Blaming junior staff, and ignoring the hullaballoo in the garden where his kid's swing gets trashed is not an excuse.
Not only that but when he sought assurances how hard was he trying? It seems he didn't ask anyone who was impartial but rather confined his questions to people who would tell him what he wanted to hear and thus have plausible deniability!
Wow, No.10 couldn’t socially distance like everyone else managed, I really just heard Johnson say that. Perhaps then when he told everyone what to do he should have said this of course does not apply to No.10 who will party on dude. He wants us to believe that No. 10 was the only place working very very hard during the pandemic and needed special treatment.
His memory works when it suits him. The rest is ,"as far as I can recall," or a similar remark. The whole thing is a planned pack of lies. I reckon he has been role playing the interview for hours beforehand.
A year of rehearsal
The sad thing is that practically everything he says could be countered with, "But you were the Prime Minister." It's like he doesn't understand the gravity of the office that he held. Shocking, really.
People, you're being unfair, the leaving parties were as necessary in number 10 as they were in the ICU units! Think of all those nurses and doctors who partied so necessarily
(Sarcasm)
"I believe" The favourite phrase of the lying politician
From all parties…pardon the pun.
Your lying .....
You can add "the British people" and "working people" to that
What's wrong with ....I believe...??
You are crazy
Precisely 😡
Although I hope this is the end of him, it’s still damn annoying how many millions he and his cronies have made out of this.
Better if he was sued and fined and lost all that cash.
I'm not against him being fined but he also needs a period behind bars to teach him that his behaviour is totally unacceptable!
I can't wait to vote for Boris Johnson's SECOND coming .

Bravo . Boris Johnson.
BoJo: The Man who has everything, except (pause for fanfare): a solitary scruple.
I do wish they would ask him why he considered a "leaving do" as a reasonable reason to break social distancing but not funerals for loved ones. This man and everyone who kept him in office should be utterly ashamed. Then again if they could feel shame they wouldn't be in office.

@@dinitis Quite like Andrew Castle and Iain Dale. Not so sure about Jobby O’Brussels or Foghorn Leghorn TBH.
He's twisting "workplace rules" to suit the party situation. It was meant for doctors, nurses, carers, joiners, builders and others who often have to be close together when performing tasks. These "events" were TOTALLY unnecessary - if deathbed attendance was disallowed and the bereaved could not be close, these "events" were unconscionable. Period!
I can translate for you: we are your masters; we have been for the last 400 years; shush and keep making us money
No no no no ,we are the bosses they tell us every time there’s a GE they are proud to serve us ,oh and don’t forget ,we’re all in it together .very reassuring
He makes it sound like No:10 is the center of the universe.
What about all those doctors and key workers who work in pressure intensive environments who followed HIS guidance? Why was it so hard for him?
It's simple, Boris thinks rules don't apply to him and those who gravitate around him!
How about those who got fines for a gathering 😂😂😂
Yes and BIG fines too! For ONE misdeed, not having parties EVERY WEEK!
Ask the Police. They issued the fines.
When, as in this video, a questioner apologises for his role in asking questions then you know the process is is on the slide to becoming a sham.
Isn't it funny when he can't bluff or bluster, he is flustered and angry with Sir Bernard, who is remarkably even handed and calm...
He's getting so snotty lol.
I had testing way beyond what was required because of clinical work. I never gathered for drinks and nibbles at the end of a tiring day, nor did anyone I know.
The members of the committee shouldn’t be allowing Johnson such an open platform to generate sound bites for his media friends to use. Stop him interrupting.
No one could see goodbye to their dead parents.
Just take a minute to process this. He said " I beleived it was essential for work purposes for the reasons I just mentioned ". So to keep morale up and motivated his staff, it was ESSENTIAL to have the gathering.
Meanwhile , funerals were not.
People struggling with mental health because they were entirely alone could not meet friends because that was not " essential ". Gyms for staying fit and keeping busy during a time people were sitting in drinking were also not " essential ".
Literally everyone else had no excuse to be gathered together. Infact police were enforcing it with fines. Yet HIS work gathering was essential. To say thanks when they fked everything up anyway.
So essentially he's saying "I'm technically guilty but not morally guilty". And no one is buying that either.
I am. I can't wait to vote for Boris Johnson again.

Utterly pathetic. Why they allow him to blabber on like that, is beyond me. The rules were absolutely clear. He made the rules, and he broke them. If they let him get away with this, I give up!
So after telling us all to social distance and stay away from groups such as parties it’s a bit rich for the likes of the people telling us we can be arrested for attending parties to then say it’s different for him and his cronies! It’s absolutely sickening especially when families couldn’t visit elderly relatives in hospitals or care homes
He fell for the oldest trick in the book, they got him focusing on whether or not guidance was properly followed rather than whether he lied about it in parliament, he's admitted now that *usually* it would be followed, but in this case because it was impromptu it wasn't, which means he's admitted he knew guidance wasn't properly followed when he claimed it was in parliament.
It's already open and shut but it's fun to see them make their case even more solid.
I'm still not holding my breath though, the amount of corruption in government could mean he still only gets a slap on the wrist despite everything. (Edit: He's also admitted there were parties, but he didn't attend them (for long), he's trying to downplay his involvement but that wasn't the question, it was that he knew they were happening, which he claimed he didn't)
Why are they allowing him to waffle on interminably. His attitude is insolent and disrespectful to the committee. Why does he rely on 'advisers' to point out that a crowded room to thank someone was not imperative and was not socially distanced.
This excuse of a man is guilty through and through, and he'll still get away with a slap on the wrist, as he's one of them, and they'll protect him purely for that reason alone.
The fact that they are letting him interject, and waffle along endlessly says as much 😡
'We imposed austerity on you and got away with it... we can do what we want.. remain passive'- a tory
"And yes, many thousands of you have died, and continue to die, and that was an tragic sacrifice we absolutely do not care about, now go away and stop moaning."
In France, the people are rioting because Macron and his cronies are trying to put the retirement age up to 64.
Here in the U.K. the Tories imposed a failed austerity policy on us in 2008 and it's still in place. They raised the retirement age from 60 for women and 65 for men to a possible 68. Then they imposed the lockdown policy on us whilst failing to observe the very rules they made and imposed on the nation.
Then, to rub salt into our wounds, Capt BoJo commits perjury in an attempt to get himself off the hook [for breaking the Covid rules].
The man is a disgrace and we, the public are fools for putting up with this Muppet.
Well said Bernard!!!
This whole process is comical
He’s just pleaded guilty! Trying circumstances? Try not being able to see a relative when they dying. Or attend a funeral after their death. That’s trying circumstances Boris.
I never thought I'd praise Bernard Jenkin. But good for him for actually doing a decent job against someone from his own party there.
The company I work for throws a thank you lunch for the employees once a month, but during covid, that practice was stopped and only restarted 5 months ago. Thanking departing staff is not critical to the job therefore for it was an unessesary and illegal gathering. Even the Police say so as they were all charged. Whether you tried to practice social distancing means nothing, Boris broke the law and that is on his record for all to see.
To my knowledge Boris still has not informed Parliament that he lied (misinformed) them
He talks of 'brief farewell events', what like a funeral?
"to the best of our ability" Given he does not have the ability to be a decent, moral, honest human being, I see his point.
Great respect for the qeustioner. B. did not let him finish and jumped on him on every occasion. He shows he is lying and trying to dodge the questions. And of course parties to thank the staff in crowded rooms. It was not happening, it was not a party, they were working, now it was necessary....when will he stop lying.
6.51 "The public can't see that". This is the singular phrase that sums up the Johnson premiership.
My husband's company gave all staff, who couldn't work from home, monitors which bleeped when they were within a certain distance of another monitor.
A person. Within a certain distance of another PERSON carrying a monitor. Let's never go back to regarding people as anything other than people. Remember for much of they time we viewed them merely as vectors of disease...
He answers Sir Bernard, but interrupts Harriet Harman, can’t bear to look at her showing complete disrespect. Odious.
