Sorry if I misinterpreted BR. I agree 100% with that.
Russian born holder of joint Russian-British citizenship. He qualifies for UK citizenship because he moved to the UK when his father's job as a KGB spy chief took him to the Russian Embassy in London. But he never renounced his Russian citizenship.
BillyNo I wasn't saying that at all. I'm disgusted that Tory MPs (bar a minority) haven't moved to remove Johnson already.However they will surely move if the results of the local elections show him not to be the electoral superstar they believe he his (based on historic records) anymore. Of course this doesn't cast them in a very good light.Those that DO want him out will be waiting on the election results giving their cause the extra momentum to succeed before making a move. I'd expect this minority to hand letters in post election regardless.The Ukraine excuse is just being used as a cover by all Tory MPs whether Johnson supporters, detractors or waiverers.I'll rephrase, as you imply, Johnson's future is in the hands of Tory voters in the local elections. I hope and expect many will simply abstain in disgust at his behaviour. This would then inevitably seal his downfall.

And nor should he, it's perfectly acceptable to be Russian and British in my view. I find this fear of him bizarre and just a convenient political story.
By definition the Leader of The Opposition has at all times to robotically call on The Prime Minister to resign whilst the Opposition members must make "funny noises"Starmer has performed that duty but does he really think it is a good idea at this moment in timeBut you have to ask yourself now, when we have world war 2.5 (which could tend to world war 3) is it in the interest of the alleged "freeworld" to replace him and the country to be effectively leaderless for over a month. One unlikely solution is for our "Teflon PM" to say i will stand down in say one year from now. But it won't happenThe Falklands War saved Thatchers political career and it looks like it's deja vu time -- we have one very lucky boy ( who still behaves like a juvenile)
''MPs will probably get a vote on Thursday on holding an inquiry into whether Boris Johnson lied to MPs about Partygate, the Mirror’s Pippa Crerar reports''And then a vote to decide if the pope is a catholic ................
Just watching Starmer giving the speech of his life in the Commons absolutely flaying Johnson's lies.He contrasts Johnson's behaviour against that of a constituent of that t**t Michael Fabricant (the one who said he knew about teachers and nurses having drinks in their staff rooms). The constituent met with Starmer to tell him how he followed the rules and couldn't be with his wife as she was dying. The camera panned to Fabricant. He was f**king grinning, before he realised and wiped it off his face.Don't anyone ever tell me that Kitsons like that actually care about ordinary folk.
.... just imagine what this or any other Govt might achieve IF they didnt spend a massive amount of time defending justifying nullifying and reacting (and loads of other 'ings] to crises that they have overseen and have mainly been avoidableCummings to name one. He put Barnard Castle on the map and then they spent lets say "lots of time" doing the above when they could have done lots more useful things with their timeI feel this Rwanda thing is the same { a distraction ] on which thousands of Parliament hours will be spent before it is allowed to fizzle out at a huge cost to Taxpayers in monetary terms and Govt in time... im sure legislations , committees of Fishing Clubs & Sports & Social Clubs through to Village and Town Councils do exactly the same and Govts of every colour in lots of Countries
