Yep Bap, chit chat is particulary enjoyable when the ‘Rumpole of the Bailey’ type arrive, grasping their lapels, to carry out what they consider a forensic cross examination of someone’s comment, only to prove the point for them.

He didn't misrepresent the report
Johnson did They will resume next week... |
|
By:
Johnson will prepare a defence
Starmer will skewer him again on something different |
|
By:
Even you would agree that the preceding sentence completely changed the context. Or maybe not.
|
|
By:
The context that Johnson used it?
He would have been unaware else he would have raised it at the time Clear what Starmers question was,.. Clear what Johnson answer was Clear Johnson lied Check hansard Testiculate The act of Johnson waving his arms around whilst talking bollocks |

Potlis: all a bit strange on here lately what with lebties pretening to be Tories & such; in fact i'm beginning to believe i'm really a 5.2 Labour voting, non ganja smokin West Indian vegan, who's into prog rock & wears Farah keks

Starmer is chalk and cheese compare to "chicken" Corbyn. He's a breath of fresh air to any genuine Labour supporter. I'm so glad he's dumped sleazeball Borgon (the unacceptable face of Labour).
|
|
By:
I thought he made a reasonable start but it's clear he actually has no alternative solutions to offer, and has very quickly degenerated into dirty politics.
|
|
By:
The leader's debates going into the next election will be fun, at one podium you will have Starmer, at the other you'll have a fridge.
|
|
By:
He might be pleasing his forensic cheerleaders misrepresenting text right now, but he won't be able to get away with after timing for the next five years. One would like to hope so for the future of the party.

Talking of dirty tricks, how would you describe the actions of Nadine Dorries, Lucy Allen, and Maria Caulfield on twitter earlier today ?

Starmer is without doubt a competent performer however he has a lot of baggage in his locker over Operation Yewtree which i'm sure will be brought back into the public domain when the time is right.
It is well known by everyone who breathes that Boris is hopeless on detail and to be perfectly honest the majority of voters won't in the greater scheme of things give a damn if care home deaths are 10,000 greater than reported. The juggernaut is moving on and the economy has quite rightly become centre stage. I don't accept that nothing needs to be done ;what is required is a couple of years of hard austerity as there's no way the downturn is going to be V shaped. |

By:
I just couldn't see Starmer writing a letter to Boris telling him what a meanie he has been in parliament.
|
|
By:
Perhaps if Boris had wrote a grandstanding letter made public that doubled down on the earlier misrepresentation attempt in parliament he would feel he had little option but to respond in kind.
|

By:
Maybe if Boris hadn't lied he would not have triggered the correspondence
Does he think the next lie will not produce another letter The effect will be cumulative |
|
By:
If the end result is Bojo better prepped for PMQ eg better read/informed on details objective's achieved. Bojo can no longer ride roughshod/dismissive against Starmer like he did against "chicken" Corbyn - a Labour leader with little standing outside his immediate Labour cronies, and someone not fit to be at the Despatch Box let alone being leader of the main Opposition Party.

By:
I agree that Boris may have took Starmer at his word and may have not been prepared for the trap attempt. Though do we feel Boris should be putting all his efforts in the current fight against the virus rather than preparing for political traps laid by the opposition during a national crisis? A question of priorities I guess, and at least we know where Starmer's lay now, if we didn't know for sure by now.
|
|
By:
It wasn't a trap
That document simply hadn't been updated and as such was government advice |
|
By:
The government schools advisor is suppling parliament a whole new load of bad government decisions and bad practices ready for next weeks questions, or week after
Should be a pelanty kick for Starmer if required |
|
By:
So why leave out the fundamental qualifying preceding sentence of the quote? That was the only reason it was selected, as without the previous sentence the quote is completely misrepresentation.
|
|
By:
He's not Neil kinnock
You would expect pm to have working knowledge of his governments policy Why would he need to read the whole document to parliament when it's in public record already The lengths that folk will run to as a defence for Johnson lies will also be cumulative |
|
By:
Even if we leave the misrepresentation aside, if he felt the advice was out of date in early March why wait until 13th May to raise it. Why wait until PMQs?
|
|
By:
Johnson has been in hiding
|
|
By:
As we know, the advice was updated in March.
|
|
By:
Or anti Boris activists have been pouring over historic records in an attempt to find a smoking gun. Can't find one but do find a partial quote they can misrepresent, better than nothing I guess.

"Even if we leave the misrepresentation aside"
An independent investigation by Full Facts found the guidelines which were updated on the 13th of MARCH,said twice that it is "very unlikely" that people receiving care in a care home will become infected. |
|
By:
Just lol at that
 cheers chaps hehe |
|
By:
Your attention to detail appears to be on a par with that of Johnson.
Why can't you just accept that Johnson is the wrong man to be PM during a national crisis. He's a cheerleader. |
|
By:
What are you on about, lapsy pa's post confirms what I said, the advice was updated in March.
|
|
By:
Maybe he really can't grasp it?
|
|
By:
A bit late though?
|
|
By:
Is Cider Boris?
|
|
By:
I'm not disputing that it was later than ideal. Since it has been updated for two months, why raise it now?
|
|
By:
Early March may have been a little beneficial.
