Remember a few weeks ago when they found all the empty baggies in the bogs at parliament. Think I can hazard a guess at whoâs been on the blow. A few cheeky pints in the parliament bar, smash a line, bollock your way through an interview. Seems straight out of the Boris school of politics.

Reason #20,307 why Truss is a pillock.

Canât blame the new deep voice on that.
Imagine waking up in the morning from a lovely dream, slowly coming round, and realising youâre Liz Truss. Must be existential.

Nitpicking here, but Ukraine is not an imperial colony, buffer province or satrapy and so there is no âtheâ. I realise some may have the habit of, from long ago, writing Ukraine in such a way, but you really shouldnât.
I realise that he is desperate to survive due to, I guess history books (?), but it seems it would be prudent for him now to step down before it gets truly ugly. He seems to have overstayed his welcome and the rats are abandoning his ship.
How absurd is it that Ian Blackwell is chucked out of parliament for stating that Johnson mislead parliament
Yet Johnson can lie about Starmer repeating twitter smears about him not prosecuting Jimmy Saville.

Completely, I agree.
While itâs right that language in parliament should be accurate Iâve been appalled at how often Johnson in particular can say utter BS without being challenged.
Worth noting that this is also true of many politicians when speaking to the press. Very few are challenged.

Apparently. I guess he didnât find one and has decided to blame Boris. 
I think almost any other speaker would not have allowed it to stand
Hoyle has stated again and again his role is not to get dragged into debate to determine accuracy of statements. He hides behind that.
For me it falls foul of rules for moderate language

Be it abusive, insulting or good taste. It was totally unrelated to the debate, it was not something for Hoyle to rule if statement was accurate. It was clear what the intent of Johnsonâs statement was.
