I'm enjoying that Boris has to deny he knew about a party that happened in his own living room.

It's almost funnier if he's telling the truth.

I had my booster last week and it seemed pretty much the same as the original vaccine shots, which for me was a sore arm and maybe feeling 95% instead of a baseline 100%.

It really says something about the effectiveness of a British Inquiry when the Prime Minister is using them to investigate a party he had in his own house.

lol johnson will not resign over this he is too arrogant to let something like this make him bow out in failure

the only way you can make him stop being PM is to vote him out, and even then he might see if Britain can do a Jan 6 using the pasty racist thumbs that love him unconditionally

Yeah Johnson will never resign, he'll be forced out in 2022 after a moralist crusade by Christian fundamentalist wing of the party (we haven't had that particular flavour of Tory in a while). Paving the way for a new leader, the intellectual powerhouse Nadine Dorries, and the nations new head of year Andrea Leadsom as home secretary.

Possibly depends on which booster you get. I had AZ for the original vaccine and the first one of those was rough. I had the Moderna booster last week and it gave me a headache and made me feel sore and sick but it wasn't nearly as bad as the first AZ.

This is actually an example of how his 'bumbling' persona is a pure manipulative act, there was some kind of problem/scandal with the buses in London while he was mayor and that story completely gummed up search results if anyone were to google for it.

No need to get the police involved, says a man who once ran over a deliveroo driver pished.

:qq: The prime minister lied to me. :qq:

Johnson lies about as often as he draws breath and everybody knows it, going after him for that is pointless. If the LOTO wanted to actually oppose maybe he'd try attacking the PM on what people care about : the illegal party he was having while they weren't allowed to see their loved ones for a year or more and all the Tories laughing at them for it.

If this is what finally turns people against the government then I guess good, but it's also so loving stupid. If you didn't already realise that the Tories had nothing but contempt for you and would laugh while you died as long as they could continue to live it up then how are you even getting this news in your hermetically sealed box under a rock?
