privileges Committee Report out!

And they have not held back ALSO giving a much deserved WHACK for impugning the integrity of the committee.

Recommend 90 DAYS SUSPENSION and NO Parl pass.

committees.parliament.uk/publications/4…
Multiple serious breaches on multiple occasions.

And the Ars*hole-In-Chief’s response is to lie

"This is rubbish. It is a lie. In order to reach this deranged conclusion, the Committee is obliged to say a series of things that are patently absurd, or contradicted by the facts." Image
The other 4 pages of the summary here but the report itself is long and with detailed annotations re supporting evidence. ImageImageImageImage

Blue wall Yorkshire village

“I’ve been a Conservative voter but not over the last few years,” said a retired man outside his cottage, with a garden of pink roses welcoming buzzing bumblebees. “I’m frightened at the state of the country.”
theguardian.com/politics/2023/…
“The cabinet have no principles – it’s a complete clown show and that’s before you get into questions of integrity.

They’re squabbling like rats in a sack.”
“Johnson (“a nasty piece of work”) had caused damage to the country that “will take a lifetime to undo, if it can ever be undone”. Adams (Conservative MP, Selby & Aintsy) was fully implicated as “one of Boris’s bag carriers”.

Trump’s legal team has descended into all-out civil war

3 attorneys resigned in recent months; others reportedly refused to take Trump as a client
He pleaded not guilty to federal charges Tuesday without a lawyer who specializes in national security cases apple.news/ARq21gQYBQg6uv…
“The problem, these advisers say, is that Trump turned over his entire defense strategy to Boris Epshteyn, a Russian-born investment banker and lawyer with no criminal defense experience.”
“Epshteyn’s detractors complain that Epshteyn guards access to Trump and treats dissent from lawyers as a sign of disloyalty. (Epshteyn did not respond to a request for comment.) “

That is a very dangerous attribute in a client.

Particularly for the client. Image

“It was extraordinary,in light of how lockdowns had since been seared on the national consciousness, that no debate had taken place ahead of the pandemic on whether they might be necessary. Fundamentally, we were taken by surprise”
ft.com/content/51d189…
Especially surprising as earlier Pandemic planning reports envisaged hundreds of thousands dying within weeks in a flu pandemic

Yet the conditions where lockdown might be necessary to avoid such levels of death …OR what steps necessary if the possibility were to be avoided.
ALSO envisaged (2011 report) spread of the disease by fine particles and aerosols, saying the latest evidence suggests this might be more important than we previously thought.

And that was in 2011 re an Influenza pandemic.

So we KNEW. Image

What sickness in British politics produced the hallucination of merit in Johnson’s candidacy for No 10?

The question presupposes that the fever has broken. Sweaty feuding between supporters of Johnson and Sunak, once Johnson’s protege, suggest otherwise. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
“Somehow debate lurched from the constitutional principle that MPs be accountable for the veracity of what is said in parliament to playground recrimination between rival gang leaders and their mates.”
The same manoeuvre skips glibly from a PH emergency in which hundreds of thousands of people died to bickering over the timetable on which failed ministers should be allowed to swap a seat in the Commons for a cushier berth in the Lords;

All with a brutal cost of living crisis.

“The charismatic strongman leader — paranoid, power-hungry, unaccountable and surrounded by sycophants — is a sadly familiar figure. Just look at the ranting speeches of Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan” who sees conspiracies against him everywhere ft.com/content/5195d7…
“For Erdoğan, the law is a weapon to be used against his political opponents rather than something that he himself must obey. The same is true for Vladimir Putin in Russia. In Turkey and Russia alike, the president’s political opponents frequently end up in prison…”
“… while the leaders themselves are never held to account, despite the accusations of corruption and abuse of power that swirl around them.

It is these questions of the rule of law and accountability that are central to the latest episodes of the Trump and Johnson soap operas.” Image
