Beergate: ‘His leadership hangs by a thread tonight’ says David Mellor

[@georgegreig7357]

He is effectively saying don't fine me lets be honest

[@roathripper]

a cynical and vain attempt to pervert the course of justice. disgraceful.

[@wundurra24]

I thought you're the pervert

[@andrewoliver8930]

What if he didn't resign? You'd call him a hypocrite instead.

[@salkeld571]

How is this a perversion of justice. It was not a "Boozy Curry night

It simply shows how absurd the Covid Lockdown rules were for everyone.

[@littlepippin8445]

Were not the "rules" recommendations and guidance from SAGE? Like, if Starmer were PM at the time they may be misinterperated as "Starmers rules"

[@brianlopez8855]

@@littlepippin8445 The 'recommendations' were enough to get a lot of people fined or inconvenienced with negligible overall benefit. I agree no likes to be mugged over by them, still fewer like admitting to their gullibility.

[@SaltyPatriot12]

Starmer is getting exactly what he deserves. He deserves more in my opinion. This man, David, seems genuinely devastated. Sir, face it, your Starmer a hypocrite & a lying joke. It’ll be ok, you’ll live.

[@garylake1676]

What I want to know, is what is this term 'an honest mistake', when referring to Rayner being there or not, I ask, as I want to know what a 'dishonest mistake', is? This is what the left do, they place fancy words in front of attritional and feeling type words to make them sound good, like 'positive discrimination', 'affirmative action', 'anti fascist;, and 'lived experience'. My favourite one though, which Abbott and Stamrer have used, is 'I misspoke', what does that phrase mean in the context of politics, is it the opposite to 'I spoke'?

Hold on........ Wasn't Mellor involved in a sex scandal..? 🤔🤣

[@antlittlejohns2098]

Bad news for Boris if Starmer resigns...means Boris may have to deal with a half credible opposition leader in the future 😂

[@stevefowler3398]

But who? How about Diane Avacus?

Also, the buffoon Johnson would have to resign too.

Why is it farcical? He's doing the noble thing and offering to resign. Like half the current cabinet should have already done. The biase on this reporting is massively clear.

[@michael6737]

He is only offering to resign because he knows he won't get fined. Benefit of having a labour police commissioner in Durham

[@androidoficeandfire9667]

1 because after going in so hard on the principles and honour now he’s been caught 2 the police won’t do anyting so he knows he’s fine they’ve said even if he is guilty they won’t fine him (they don’t give them out in looking back that’s how Cummings didn’t get 1)

He looks a right Berk He was so gleeful about Boris he couldnt shut up . Egg everywhere

"Johnson who has never taken responsibility for anything. Not even his children. And maybe the less myopic would see in him the possibility of what a leader could look like. Not a pallid-faced narcissist with a toddler haircut whose only sincere belief is in his own exceptionalism." John Crace
