    Seeing as they have already said that they don't 'prosecute' old offences in these sort of circumstances [I don't know what the technical term would be] isn't it theoretically impossible for him to be fined? Hence the promise to resign, presumably?

    It's a pretty disgraceful attempt to put pressure on the police if you ask me. What I like is all the divs trying to tactic it. His resignation will put pressure on the Prime Mini... Do you still not know who you're dealing with here? He'd just piss himself and never mention it again.

    Boris Johnson has demanded his cabinet comes up with a plan to cut about 90,000 civil service jobs to free up cash to tackle the cost of living.
    How's making that many people unemployed going to help? "Shit, lads. There's been a surge in jobseekers claims and we appear to be understaffed."

    A civil service union said the "ill thought-out" plan could affect services such as passport processing.
    Which is currently already stretched.

    Entirely ideological.

    Daily Mail saying it will save £3.5bn a year so between the 35m ish tax payers, that's an astonishing £100 each. Well done Boris!

    Unsurprisingly more pictures have been leaked. For context, this was a party that the Met knew about and handed out fines for already. Boris was not on that list…

    It will be interesting how the Daily Mail report this one tomorrow after being seething about Starmer’s lamb bhuna.

    This ends with all the fines being reimbursed. All of them. As a goodwill guesture.

    Lads, they're working on closing the gap between the poor and the middle class. I'm sure they will get round to closing the gap between the rich and the rest of us once they're finished.

    To note I’m only on UC because to extract my pension from Switzerland you need to prove residence in another country and I tried several other ways before this.

    Using the Wolf of Wall Street grading system, what level of hookers were you hiring?

    Why was 'County Durham' nominated? It's to bung money to shitholes. Southampton is a bit too lively for it as well.

    Yeah, I didn't like how they nicked Picard's catchphrase. Durham was definitely chucked out on:

    a) not being a city.
    b) Having the county on the bid, further establishing that they are not a city.

    The confidence vote is here. Praying, for the sake of not having to vote fucking Lib Dem at the next election, that he loses and some me-friendly wetwipe replaces him.

    What’s he done now? Surely if he’s brassnecked his way through everything previously then he’s pretty much untouchable at this stage.

    He has survived politically but he has completely lost the public. He would lose the next election to Skeletor at this point. Luckily for the Tory cunts, he seems to be being held responsible entirely, so one of his underlings will slither in shortly before the next election and probably win regardless.

    When Jimmy is considering voting Lib Dem you know it's done.

    It's madness that he supposedly has said even if he only wins by one vote he would still carry on. Surely if he loses though the MP's who want him out could just ignore the whips and vote against everything he brings before parliament that would make his position pretty untenable.

    He will carry on for as long as physically possible at any cost to his dignity/legacy. Does he even have to resign if he loses the vote? I don't know the rules.

    I think he's been quite ill upstairs for a while, probably since his wife left him.

    That's the worst case scenario for them, really. A complete demolition (which won't happen) will at least pave the way for a new PM with a relatively blank slate. Carrying a wounded dog will destroy the entire Government in time.

    Yeah he does. But I can't see 180 going against him. The risk is there being far more than the minimum 54 that triggered it. Triple figures will be absolute scenes for a few weeks until he's forced out.
