Boris Johnson changes ministerial code so those who breach it don't have to quit or face sack
Following the Owen Paterson lobbying scandal last year, the standards of conduct for ministers were looked into. But opposition parties are not best pleased with the new changes, as they feel there will be less scrutiny.

The problem is that, while Boris Johnson ain't much cop who the bleedin' hell could we replace him with? Man I don't think there is a politician in Britain I would give the time of day let alone the keys to the castle.

So another form of deception, and another restriction of free speech from the SNP, to just pretend not to hate the English to further their independence campaign

The first rule of SNP PR is to lie. The 2nd to 10th Rules are to lie even more. This is just deceptive window dressing.

Aaah. The Rules Of Aquisition.
The ferengi are better looking though. And probably more trustworthy.
My nickname amongst a certain group of friends. Has been Quark, for over 30yrs.
In the early days I had no idea why. Whenever I asked, they'd just laugh.
One day I mentioned it to a guy at work. I thought he was gonna die laughing. He wouldn't tell me why either. But he did say..."They are doing you a huge injustice. You are far better than Quark. I suggest they rename you the Grand Nagus"...
So I Googled it.
Turns out they were paying me a big compliment. Whilst also loving the fact that I had no idea what they were on about

Apparently it's to do with my natural talent for turning a penny into a poundAs long as its not your ears or your teeth, all is good.
But the ears might play a part in it as well?
According to my sad ass Trekie mate. I have the "lobes for business"
Whatever the f#ck that means?
Bojo is a long way from perfect. As are all politicians.
But I'm very glad that he's managed to deflect the liberal leftie agenda to depose him for now.
Unfortunately for the Biased Broadcasting Corporation...

I agree completely. Boris is far from 'ideal' and not the tough leader we really need by a long shot but by Christ he is streets ahead of every other wanker in the houses of parliament and certainly far superior to that gob of shite Douglas Ross who leads the Conservatives in Scotland and who voted no confidence in Boris. Ross has all the Charisma of phlegm and he is the fuckin' leader in Scotland, what chance have we got if he is the strongest thing they can field against the Snazi's.

I wouldn't call Graham Brady a leftie liberal
It's not a partisan revolt along left/right lines which is why he's in trouble.

My take is that his MPs have mostly had enough of the chaos with a PM who behaves presidential with net zero and spending plans that come from no Tory book of 'how to do it'. You can't lie as obviously as he does because it insults the intelligence of people who see right through him. He has neither a compass nor a plan and it's all a bit like a Nantucket sleigh ride.
Anyone remember the album?! 1971
However, there is a pincer attack from the more principled on the one hand and the Complete Shits on the other. All the talk of people changing their minds about Brexit is an orchestrated softening up for the likes of Jeremy Unt to have another tilt at leadership and hit reverse. Hunt is being taken down by Mad Nad and for once I agree with her. Although you have to wonder why she is so fond of Boris. Grateful?
Hunt is a total snake in the grass and needs the full mongoose treatment.

True!
And definitely true! ...along with some others like Gove, Javid, and Raab to name a few that I believe are duplicitous weasels.
