MPs from both sides of the house take vacation during summer recess shocker!!!!
Ldr. Let me rework that one for you.Bothsidesist fails to spot that Leader of Opposition doesn't have two foreign holidays in a fortnight, or host a private party at a state funded residence or play soldiers when he should be doing the job he's paid for shocker.
Rich.As I've said, I've nothing against anyone going on holiday. But it's the timing of it. Given that Johnson wanted to stay on as PM until his replacement is elected, it wouldn't have been much of a sacrifice for him to wait another 3-4 weeks before going, by which time he'd have properly stood down.As it is, it's hard to see what he's actually done as PM over the last few weeks.

Whether Johnson was about to stand down as PM or not he would still have been rebuked for taking a holiday during a national crisis, no?

A...nd round in circles we go!Johnson can't win in the eyes of Labour supporters no matter what he does. One minute they're moaning that he should have been instantly removed from leadership responsibility and the next they're moaning that he's not still running the country!It does make one chuckle.

It doesn't have to be Johnson at all, just SOMEBODY.

Watch my lips. If Johnson was not about to stand down as PM he would still have been rebuked for taking a holiday during a national crisis.No?
