Indeed. How many were at COP26? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not nearly enough of the servile little cretins had the testicular fortitude to vote against. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with pairing is why they are missing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we've seen so often looking acting and being the worst c***s imaginable seems to play quite well for them. These are after all the people who Lied to the Queen!!!! and would have been calling for beheadings and the tower were it a Labour leader of the house. Reckon they think they can ride it out at election, hide all the Covid thievery, promise billions for those good constituencies who vote Tory, tax cuts for everyone and claim Keith has a French birth certificate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 A lot of people in the press today who did their bit to ensure these charlatans remained in power are acting very shocked today.

ICTJohnboy Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Pointed out on Newsnight, tonight that BoJo is currently under investigation by the same committee that found against Paterson. So it's fair to suggest, that he had a vested interest in seeing the cross party committee scrapped, and replaced by one much more biased towards the Tories. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt n Vinegar Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Just looked at the online version. Neither the text of the headline nor of the narrative paragraph seem to pass any opinion on the outcome of the vote. Seems to me that the tone is different. The intro says "Former minister Mr Paterson, the Tory MP for North Shropshire, was found to have committed an 'egregious' breach of standards rules by directly advocating for two companies while they were paying him more than £100,000 per year. The Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards Kathryn Stone conducted an investigation and the Committee on Standards then recommended Mr Paterson be banned from the Commons for 30 sitting days. A vote on that recommendation was due to take place this afternoon but allies of Mr Paterson brought forward an amendment to block the suspension and see his case reviewed. The amendment was backed by 250 votes to 232, a majority of 18, after the Prime Minister - who has himself been repeatedly censured by the commissioner - ordered Tory MPs to vote for it under a three-line whip in a stunning intervention in Parliamentary procedure. Mr Paterson then doubled-down tonight by insisting there was 'no question' he would do the same thing again, as he admitted he continues to work with Randox and Lynn's Country Foods - the two firms at the heart of the scandal" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocketman Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 7 hours ago, Sherrif John Bunnell said: Exhibit A "Commons voted". "Shameless MPs" - large print. "Tory MPs" in small print. Comment refers to the "political class" as a collective - with "MPs conspiring". Putting the boot in to a fashion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect Device Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 It's getting to the stage that Boris could get caught anally raping one of the Queen's corgis and the Tories still wouldn't go down in the polls. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
