    Boris Johnson breached Commons rules by not declaring a financial interest in time, a committee of MPs has found.
    The Committee on Standards said the former foreign secretary failed to register a share of a Somerset property within 28 days of acquiring it.
    The reprimand follows a similar finding in December, when Mr Johnson was ordered to apologise over the late declaration of £52,000 in book royalty payments.

    Enough now, sack this cretin. One of the most self serving people ever to be involved in politics, and I am sick of it.

    I might be wrong, but I thought I saw, somewhere, that it is the 9th time he has done this.
    Maybe it’s time to introduce a 3 strikes and you’re out policy, to deal with the serial abusers.

    Gone our the days when this scruffy posh twat raised a smile.
    He's dangerous, and should be nowhere near office anymore.

    Why even three strikes, for something this serious!?

    I menan... we don’t get three strikes at paying our taxes. They are supposed to be representing the nation ffs.

    You’re right.
    How about losing your seat, by default, to the opposition?
    That might encourage honesty.

    If you look at the voting intentions of MPs in the Referendum you will see that the only MPs that wanted to Leave were, DUP, UKIP, 130ish Tories and just 11 Labour
    Therefore only the Tories would push a referendum as there's a big issue with allowing the public a vote on something that yopur Parliament is largely against in a Parliamentary Democracy. They are there to act for us NOT to do everything we ask for. If the People want them to do something else they have to vote for MPs that agree with them ... otherwise you get THIS MESS.

    The mess is down to the split Tory Party and thats it

    Parliament should get a free vote as they are there to represent us in this Parliamentary Democracy of oursa and in their opinion we should stay
    Then we should all work together to MAKE THE EU BETTER

    This was interesting, and whilst I agree with the apparent sentiment, it looks like a very dangerous piece of legislation that allows the State to control free speech and Internet content. One of the things seen as bad is "fake news" - it worries me that the State could use this to manipulate what news we do see.
    I'm probably just being paranoid but it really smacks of Big Brother

    As a country, we are really looking stupid. Time to clean house. In fact I'd say they need a bigger cull than our football club.................and that is saying something!

    The last time Labour left office the country was in good shape thanks to the good stewardship of Gordon Brown.

    His behaviour and utterances suggest he is ready to say goodbye to politics. He is doing what he is doing to stir people. Don´t take Boris seriously when he doesn´t take himself too seriously at all. He knows he will never be PM.

    He is unelectable. The only way he can win is with the SNP calling the shots, and I thought the DUP was bad enough!

    Depends which papers you read!!! And it was a joke left by I think Paul Flynn, just to get a further reaction from the right-wing press.

    The SNP have far more credibility than the DUP, one being their policies, secondly they are not reactionary.

    But then the Tories had already sold off everything else that the country had previously owned, through privatisation.
    How wealthy, and how much better off, could the country be, had we just kept the utilities and telecommunications, to name just two examples, in public ownership? Maybe Brown wouldn’t have needed to sell the gold.
    The global crash left every country in a crap position.
