Leading a Great Empire , you have to stand for it ? And don't let others , walk away in your shoes ? But where are my shoes , be awake and Go for it ? Should we buy New shoes , in trubbled Times ? You better not take the Problems , to easy ? 💡

If you still think our government is not corrupted Think again

We need to draw a line under this. The restrictions were OTT and minor breaches were committed by the majority of us. This is just a way of trying to get rid of Johnson because Labour will never get into power while he leads the Conservative Party.

If this so true..honestly how is this guy is getting away with so much recently.

Just like the Paterson and sewerage votes. Criminal !!!

Really tells us everything we need to know about the Conservatives. Why fear an investigation?

No Boris like many people would have broke the rules. However he did not do a Tony Blair who lied to start a war. He should resign over the PPE scandal and Russian money though

Open and transparent. A very'innocent' man

Because this is a totally normal thing for a functional democracy to do

Party or Parliament? Law makers or law breakers? All Conservatives have a choice - Johnson should go JohnsonOut82 partyorparliament

So if Johnson did not deliberately mislead Parliament why would he want to block a conservative majority committee to investigate as surely it would find no evidence of him having mislead Parliament. But on the other hand if he did deliberately mislead Parliament……

This was entirely predictable: his life so far seems to have been built on bring unable to admit errors & corralling others to sacrifice themselves for him. Still: much as we'd say of a 2yr old who is leaning to use a potty: 'Boris is doing his best isn't he?'

This better not be true.

British democracy Tory style in action. Makes me sick.

In what reality will Boris resign?! He'll NEVER resign! When will people stop calling for it, as it'll never EVER happen! They're using up valuable media message time pushing him to RESIGN, when they should be telling the Party to SACK him! Make him THEIR problem, not OURS.

being told by the school bully to vote him head boy again

And he'll get another fine and those MPs will *still* back him.

Where's all the money they've spaffed up the wall? That's worth investigating

If he were innocent, he’d be whipping his MPs to vote for an investigation so he could clear his name.

Let's just vote him out

Sounds GD trumpian to me!!!

Nice to see Boris Orban keeping a tight grip on things.

I Wonder Why? But they're all his dogs and will no doubt do as commanded.

This can’t be true. Are we really saying that we have become a country where a leader orders his team to block an investigation into him, and they don’t resign or react badly?

When's the investigation into councillors, civil servants and MPs for facilitating racist child abuse?

Power corrupts ... Still as true today.

nadams (SelbyAinstyMP), I would write to formally ask how you plan to vote on this but a) I already know and b) if I did write to you I wouldn’t get a response anyway - still awaiting one from my letter sent in Feb.

That worked will with Patterson

On the scale of balance not only the Conservative Government have had enough but the nation as a whole. His days are numbered.

Is it not extraordinary that Boris Johnson will ORDER his colleques to cover his back. That 'that' is legally possible i find fascinating! all this would make for a familiar BOX OFFICE hit in Hollywood! Illegal parties. Questionable Politics. Dirty money. Russia connection.

As if we didn't know.What if they've all grown some balls last night.? Although I can't see Fabricant doing anything negative towards his only chance of staying in can someone so ridiculous represent people?

What’s he got to Hide? How Despicable! This is a Very Slippery Slope! Stop the slide Now, or end up with a Sickeningly Corrupt Conservative Government like Australia’s, under Boris’ Mate, Scott Morrison. The Morrison Government is the Most Corrupt Government Australia’s EVER Had!

Fascism?

Is Sunik being investigated as well, he also told a blatant lie ? Just because he’s the PM this shouldn’t enable him to order MPs to make a decision to protect him.

What type of government have we got running this country? Is this the UK or a third world dictatorship? Enough is enough. The damage this man has done to our country is immense, get him out.

LONDON: British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has offered a 'wholehearted' apology for attending an illegal party during lockdown, but says he didn't knowingly break rules or mislead Parliament .

More fool them for obeying and more fool the population that falls for his idiotically limited schtick.

V. trumpy.
