Also, just heard, the statistician that Boris quoted, regarding not making comparisons with other countries, has asked the PM not to use his research or name again. |

"We can say this, yet there is somebody (actually, loads of people) that will claim he smashed it out of the park.
It was like he had just rolled out of bed and was bumbling around."
Probably.... sleepless nights, new baby and all that... furlough himself? |

There are those who will argue black is white, and unfortunately many brain-dead who will believe that. |

Labour are not in power. I prefer to look at reality and not what might of been. If the best defence of this government you can muster is 'they are not as bad as that lot' well, we really are fucked. |

Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson is a performer, not a politician. He’s a very good performer though, up there with the best, but performers need an audience to play to and without that they are lost.
You could see him waiting for the braying from the back benches yesterday and when it didn’t come he shrank a little, he was like the naughty schoolboy trapped in a lie by headmaster Starmer.
He will be picked apart like that every week by Starmer, it just won’t look quite so bad when he has his backbenchers to roar and cheer when he refuses the nurses a pay rise. |

The party chose the leader, the public chose the party. The party chose the worse one on purpose because of Brexit , they also had a clean out of moderates. |

But the thread isnt about that. It's about Johnson's woeful performance at PMQ and it says it all that the only way to defend it is to divert from it completely  |

I’ve heard this a lot and always confused as I think he’s a shit performer. If you listen to the actual words her say you will notice 2 things - 1/ very low word count compared to others, he rambles incompressible for at least 50% of the time so doesn’t say much, much less than others, 2/ the words themselves don't actually answer any question or give info , it’s very, very vague.
I know thick people can’t see this they just like the “feeling” of him speaking - warm, funny, racist etc - but surely there are enough voters with brains to see this ? |

He has got that image of the bumbling toff which probably helps
He certainly appeals to the daily mail brigade.
Quite why working class people would vote for him is frankly baffling.I think there is still a sense on this country that the upper classes were born to rule..they know best etc. |

Which agenda for change pay policy?
I have been at the top of my band for 5 years with no ability to move up, my pay hasn’t increased in those 5 years and I am expected to take on even more responsibility. The 20% pay rise was nothing more than a paper thin headline. |

"Feeling" That's what its all about. Not leadership, integrity or competency. Like Trump, Johnson's victory was down to how he made people feel. He doesn't standup to any scrutiny. His usual is a bit of bluster, a joke, an ancient Greece reference and a touch of Churchillian rhetoric.

I am defending them as the biggest question is what would you have them do differently, if they had locked down in February, you would have moaned it was too early,had they brought testing in earlier , you would have moaned they were wasting tests, they just cant win, and my point is whoever was in charge people would still moan |

The thread is about pmq.
Speculating what labour would have done is completely irrelevant. |

Nope, I personally, stopped seeing my mum or letting my 3 year old see her 2 weeks before the lockdown. I'm some idiot on a forum, if I saw that, how did he not?? |

."
Which is presumably why the UK has no testing at airports, no quarantine, unenforced "guidelines" (look at the Telegraph's picture of Bournemouth prom, with a police car surrounded by people out for a stroll) instead of a proper lockdown, testing figures made-up to suit, PPE guidelines made-up to suit what's in the warehouse (according to NHS staff) "testing" figures that include 'capacity" not actual tests, "testing figures" that count the number of tests carried-out, not the number of people tested ("sorry Mr Smith, it's not clear, can I just test you again?") no track and trace, and jolly japes and smirking boasts about shaking hands when the day before the PM was told clearly what the dangers were.
That IS a fantastic job. Fantastic as in a fantasy. This government has achieved one thing only: the highest Covid19 death rate in Europe. |

Think of the songs which top the charts, are they the complex melodies of Jazz or the great symphonies? No, they are the simple pop songs that are largely repetitive and easy to hum along to and remember, it’s always been that way.
Simple, repetitive messages are the easiest ways to get things across and they require little brain power so people like them, especially if they reinforce views they already hold.
Johnson is well aware of this and exploits it brilliantly, that added to him being the very definition of what a stupid person thinks a clever person is only makes his performance more powerful.
Johnson is no great intellectual but he knows exactly what he is doing, the question now is can he change his act so he’s not made to look like an idiot every week by Starmer? |

What would I have done?? Hmm, I'd not pull at arbitrary numbers out of my arse then fiddle the numbers to meet that figure.
Nobody expected them to get everything right, but we do expect honesty. If we can't trust them going into this, how can we trust them to get us out??? |

I was using the example of when the Tories cheered as they stopped a pay rise for NHS staff as example of their behaviour, I’m sure there will be another one along soon where they shit on the NHS from an equally great height and then I’ll use that one. |

At the start of all this I thought he was doing an ok job. Now I'm happy to admit I was wrong. Lots of mistakes made, highest death rate in Europe, PPE debacle still with us, care homes still not getting enough support etc. Good decisions made about financial support in terms of furlough etc. However we're going to pay for that massively for years and I bet the NHS will go back to being severely under funded. The list is endless |

That clip is actually of Conservative MPs cheering (as all parties do), the defeat of the Labour amendments to the Queens Speech.
Whilst there was an amendment concerning nhs pay, it wasn't specific to that. Labour managed to spin it that way.

With the risk of being flayed alive I am not secret on the forums as being on the other side of the political fence to most on this thread
I think Sir Kier showed in PMQ that you can argue your point in a respectful manor. He did not insult anyone or question anyone's intelligence. He pushes quite rightly where needed and supports where needed
A strong opposition is vital and I think from early indications we have it
How he develops policy is for later and like all leaders will face the voters |

Yep, as much as possible. Put it this way, I didn't shake hands with anybody who I absolutely knew had Covid 19. Actually, s lot of people who had Covid 19, and on the same day scientists said to avoid shaking hands. |

As soon as we seen how it was hitting italy, with a local school near me closing down with the kids that had come back from a skiing trip there.
Plus testing kits would have probably been easier to source...that was my thoughts back then. |

He will be picked apart like that every week by Starmer, it just won’t look quite so bad when he has his backbenchers to roar and cheer when he refuses the nurses a pay rise.
Refuse? As in the "agenda for change" pay policy that's currently going through?
I was using the example of when the Tories cheered as they stopped a pay rise for NHS staff as example of their behaviour, I’m sure there will be another one along soon where they shit on the NHS from an equally great height and then I’ll use that one.
That clip is actually of Conservative MPs cheering (as all parties do), the defeat of the Labour amendments to the Queens Speech.
Whilst there was an amendment concerning nhs pay, it wasn't specific to that. Labour managed to spin it that way.
"
What was the labour amendment? |

Love it. You know people are clutching at straws when they say:
But if everything was different and it was someone else then maybe they would have done a worse job. So there. |

If they did a bad job, it doesn't matter who they are, or what party they belong to. They should be open to critisism.
I don't call that "blame culture" I call it trying to hold accountable those who have done a bad job. |

"If you don’t think Britain has a major problem with blame culture then you must be blind "
Well yes and no, the British media loves build 'em up before knocking them down but when it comes to politics it is a much more polarised affair. It's been a case of 'my team, right or wrong' Saying 'your team would have been worse' is a common deflection. The media hasn't turned on the Govt yet, in my opinion. |

I'm not saying we don't.
However taking about holding the government accountable for the mistakes that have been made while tens of thousands of people gave died. Seems reasonable to me. |

It absolutely has but that shouldn't mean we don't hold the government to account though, they are the people responsible so they must take responsibility for either success or failure, and currently it's the latter. |

Depends which way you look at it.In 2017 corbyn came from no where and forced teresa may into a minority gmnt and there was genuine hope for the future.
Brexit was obviously a massive issue.Corbyn was absolutely slaughtered in the media.Labour moved back to its roots but we live in a country where the electorate are overwhelmingly conservative.
He was immensely popular in certain parts of the country and amongst the young but he was always up against it.
Brexit was the crucial factor. |

Many ifs and buts, but the truth is the Labour Party was hopeless and couldn’t get elected. They were shit in every aspect and let the government off the hook in every respect. The most appalling government we’ve had in years under Cameron and May were made to look good by the opposition. Corbyn and co are as much to blame for the current government getting in as anyone.
Thank god for Keir Starmer. There might be some hope. |

Brexit was obviously a massive issue.Corbyn was absolutely slaughtered in the media.Labour moved back to its roots but we live in a country where the electorate are overwhelmingly conservative.
He was immensely popular in certain parts of the country and amongst the young but he was always up against it.
Brexit was the crucial factor.
Many ifs and buts, but the truth is the Labour Party was hopeless and couldn’t get elected. They were shit in every aspect and let the government off the hook in every respect. The most appalling government we’ve had in years under Cameron and May were made to look good by the opposition. Corbyn and co are as much to blame for the current government getting in as anyone.
Thank god for Keir Starmer. There might be some hope.
Totally agree with above we voted for the best of a bad bunch I voted for conservative as having Corbin as pm would of been a disaster "
Yep I can imagine having someone who actually gives a fuck about working people in power being absolutely calamitous. |

I certainly won't say that, however it is very wrong to believe labour would be handling this any better,
I'll second that.
Probably lots of people sitting at home, getting 80% of their wages, now stabbing him in the back.
Don't get me wrong, Sunak has done a good job. The money side of things has been very good. The health side....and absolute clusterfuck
It's damned to easy to print money and give it away, it's a lot harder to magic up PPE and test kits
The last 9 years (and before, all governments have done tons certain extent) helped magic away our capability to deal with such a crises.
While the British people stood back, watched and kept voting for them ?
No arguments there.
Because there was no effective opposition to vote for?

You asked for my opinion.
Corbyn polled more votes than Miliband or brown in 2017.
We have had 1 left wing gmnt in this country in the last 80 years
If working class people wanna vote for a party that decimated their industries 30 years ago and will,most likely,make their lives worse,quite frankly have only themselves to blame.
And a lot of the actual policies of labour made perfect sense .
Attlee?
That’s an argument for another day huh?"
Teresa may adopted a few of them.
Increase low wages.
Re nationaliston
Bringing back freeschool meals
Invest in nhs etc. |

Pretty hard to argue against that..
I class myself as centre left but was saying on here after he became leader that he would never be PM..
Whilst liking some of his core principles it just was not going to happen with this electorate..
I’d very much class myself as a centrist. We may be closer than you think! That’ll give you sleepless nights "
Not at all, on some issues I was once called a light blue by another union rep..
Mind you on other issues we were of one mind and he was a bit of a raving trot.
The vast majority in this country are centre left or right, its why Blair who I once had a row in the strangers bar with one staunch blairite for describing him as a used car salesman was so successful..
Which a lot of tories who voted for him then and hate him now can't stand being reminded of..  |

The trickle down effect is when the rich are paid more and its expected to trickle down to the less well off.
Tax cuts for the rich is the opposite of what you are suggesting. |

Yep I can imagine having someone who actually gives a fuck about working people in power being absolutely calamitous.
I think he gives a fuck about very low paid / min wage and jobless people in the UK and international causes, but he promised nothing for the majority of working class people or any one with aspirations to earn above minimum wage. only people earning more than 100k would of been worse off under Corbyn we have just been programmed to believe that not taxing the rich fairly leads to job creation for the poor which has been disproven countless times
When exactly?trickle down effect doesn't work never has jobs are created by market demand not tax cuts for the rich that has been proven jobs are actually created by pay rises for the middle classes because they actually spend the extra money in local businesses that has also been proven countless times
When exactly?"
Google it in the American cities where minimum wage increased to 15 dollars an hour jobs in the service sector increased inline the wealthy don't spend they hoard you know that you are just being argumentative every working class person that voted conservative did so for Brexit no other reason |

"I'm waiting for somebody to post on the thread how he performed amazingly.....I'm sure it will happen!
I certainly won't say that, however it is very wrong to believe labour would be handling this any better,
I'll second that.
Probably lots of people sitting at home, getting 80% of their wages, now stabbing him in the back.
Don't get me wrong, Sunak has done a good job. The money side of things has been very good. The health side....and absolute clusterfuck
It's damned to easy to print money and give it away, it's a lot harder to magic up PPE and test kits
The last 9 years (and before, all governments have done tons certain extent) helped magic away our capability to deal with such a crises.
While the British people stood back, watched and kept voting for them ?"
Oh yes!!! |

No arguments there.
Because there was no effective opposition to vote for?
In the last few years?
Depends which way you look at it.In 2017 corbyn came from no where and forced teresa may into a minority gmnt and there was genuine hope for the future.
Brexit was obviously a massive issue.Corbyn was absolutely slaughtered in the media.Labour moved back to its roots but we live in a country where the electorate are overwhelmingly conservative.
He was immensely popular in certain parts of the country and amongst the young but he was always up against it.
Brexit was the crucial factor.
Many ifs and buts, but the truth is the Labour Party was hopeless and couldn’t get elected. They were shit in every aspect and let the government off the hook in every respect. The most appalling government we’ve had in years under Cameron and May were made to look good by the opposition. Corbyn and co are as much to blame for the current government getting in as anyone.

Brilliant.

"If corbyn got in he was going to tax companies more so they in turn would have cut rates
People I work for had already said they would be cutting there rates if labour got In
Labour would of been bad for the majority this is why they got beaten so easily by a party that wasn’t in any way great
Please explain how creating a fairer society would have been worse for everyone?
He proposed to go after companies who pay as little as possible in tax."
This fact |

"The shitshow that the UK has found itself in now really is the chickens coming home to roost. With a confederacy of dunces and a blustering fool at the helm."
Who was deemed far better than the other dunces and blustering fool. This whole thing is a failure of the political establishment.
But I feel we’re going round in circles.... |

"A lot of his fans seem to be ignoring this thread for once!"
Likewise.
Probably because his performance at PMQs have shown him up as the chancer he's always been and this the guy in charge in our darkest hour. |

Reality is there has been no opposition to hold the Govt. to account. Strong opposition makes for strong Govt.
Labour supporters who created splits in the Party between the Blairite and Momentum are as big a part of the problem as the Tory led Govt.
Labour supporters, look in the mirror and realise you didn't get behind your party enough and the country gave Boris an 80 seat majority. You are part of the problem so stop complaining. |

You can’t create wealth by dividing it, and you can’t legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of it.
Once you take away aspiration it’s a full on race to the bottom, that’s the reality of your equality. |

So the people who voted for a party that are not in power are partly to blame for a crises which is being handled by a different party.?
Please explain that to me. |

Who took away aspiration?
He wanted to lift people out of poverty by increasing the wages and making the rich pay little bit more.
Its actually jaw dropping that normal people actually argue for a system where the gap between rich and poor has never been wider.

Yeah, I’m struggling to understand too.
Wasn’t the problem having a minority and NOW you have the majority, there should be an effective opposition to stop the government you voted for doing what you elected them to do?
