Has Boris Johnson actually ever really answered a single question that he was asked? Ever? Like a slimy slug, he starts writhing and evading the moment he opens his mouth...

[@_Stin_]

The system, itself, doesn't hold those responsible to account. IMHO, The Speaker of the House should demand a direct answer from an MP when none is apparent or forthcoming. I would wager that the Ministerial Code demands everyone wear formal attire, yet demands that nobody speak the honest truth - The system is a disgrace to democracy and a hindrance intellectual discourse.

Boris is crumbling and panicking it’s very clear too see, resorting to pathetic insults and avoiding questions like the plague. I’ll be voting for starmer next time…

[@petercutting6126]

Why Starmer? There are other parties if you don't want the Tories. If people just vote red or blue, nothing will ever change & we'll go on getting ripped off for ever.

[@callumhardy5098]

@@petercutting6126 Marginal parties are designed to keep one of the two parties in the ‘two party system’ in power. Voters decide they don’t want to vote either Red or blue they want something to change, so they vote for whichever marginal party best fits their ideology, thus spreading out the opposing vote to the party in power, meaning you end up with lots of little parties and the conservative and Labour Party take their usual votes from their loyal one party voters.

Aww is Johnson stung because Starmer is actually asking him questions and expecting answers. Where does Johnson think he is? He has to answer these questions not because Starmer asks them because the electorate want answers and he, as PM answers to us, time Johnson learnt that!

[@neilharrison7555]

I think you might sense our great shame that the Tory Party had no better candidate than him to offer. If you dig into his past, you will find he has been sacked from his job as a journalist for quite literally making up a story which was 100% lies, he was sacked from another job when he lied about having an extra-marital affair (and he WAS), he lied when he said if the UK got Brexit our National Health Service would get £310 million back per month, he lied when he said "there were NO Lockdown parties at No.10", then he said there had been "gatherings, but they were work", then he said he thought the parties which have recently been proven to have taken place were again "work", then he apologized that such gatherings had taken place, then he got served a "Fixed Penalty Notice" by the Metropolitan Police for being present at one of the PARTIES. He lies continuously. Again he lied in Parliament today about the "number of new jobs created", quoting again a figure wildly different from that published by the organisation who collates such figures. You might see a pattern developing here, lies, lies, lies. You might expect the odd little lie, after all he's a politician, but it's looking like nothing coming out of his mouth is truthful. He is an embarassment. He was an embarassment as a journalist, he was an embarassment as Mayor of London, an embarassment as Foreign Secretary and now the ultimate embarassment as our Prime Minister. I keep asking myself WHY in God's name are we stuck with a narcisst, self-serving, LIAR. God help us. (Sorry for the rant, but .....)

The Johnson doctrine: Never, under any circumstances, ever answer the question!

[@hugebartlett1884]

I think most people have missed the point that Johnson is actually having the time of his life arguing with Starmer. In his imagination he is back on Oxford University debating team. This is all a continuation of the great game he played all the years he was growing up,playing the field,setting his friends up then knocking them down. Terrific fun. And it continued when he was a journalist,until his wavering appreciation of the truth of anything let him down. And this is just another round of jolly good fun and jolly japes until it all comes to an end,and then he will push off and find something else to spend his time and talents on. The state of our country by then will be of little importance to him because he will be abroad enjoying his everlasting game of life. This is all a game!
