There's still the Parliamentary investigation into him misleading the Commons to go yet.
He hasn't really got away with anything has he? He's shown to be a liar and untrustworthy. He can't deny it.It's the tory MPs who are choosing not to do anything about the situation. Somehow I don't think leaving him in power will prove to be a wise decision but we'll see.
It's not really a question of him getting away with it. It's the damage it does to our system of Government.Starmer doesn't always get the tone right in Parliament, but he was bang on today when he said our Constitution us fragile. It depends on political leaders at core being honest, and knowing that if they are not, and they get caught, that's curtains for them.Our system gives the PM effectively unlimited power if Parliament doesn't control him or her. Once you establish the principle that a PM can lie baldly to Parliament and not be held to account, the system is smashed.I really don't give a f**k what happens to that moral vacuum, Johnson. But I care very much about the damage he is inflicting on our Government, and I worry a lot about the standard he is setting for future politicians.
How many people think Starmer's a liar?

You talk about lies and principles yet you want the Labour party to gain power in the only way it can, by means of right-wing policies and then conning the electorate by changing to left-wing policies.
the labour party will save quite a bit on the next election as the report has prewritten much of the the material, and the photos, especially the photos.busadvertising'sick on the carpet, wine on the walls, brawls in the halls' vote tory we promise to do our best

What's more powerful, criticism of cheese and wine or pledges to make the country more wealthy with higher standards of living?

I don't think that's right HoundJust over half (51%) of those who still intend to vote conservative think he's a liar It's quite concerning that so many will still vote for a liar.61% of those who voted Conservative last time think he's a liar.
I think you replied to the wrong comment pud
