    What material lies (as opposed to exaggerated statements) has he told since he's been in office as PM?

    Here you go. Waste of time of course, you’ll back him no matter what.

    A cross party group of senior MPs are currently in discussion with the speaker to review the archaic rules of the House of Commons so that a lie can be called out as a lie in the house. They are sick of this repeated behaviour of a narcissist.

    I don't know who the guy is that made the video. I've never seen or heard of him before, so forgive me if I don't accept verbatim what he's saying. He could be Jeremy Corbyn's cousin for all I know.

    If the PM has told that many lies, why hasn't a reputable journalist, or better still, the leader of the HM Opposition brought this to public notice? I do think Boris makes exaggerated statements and uses smokes and mirrors on occasions. But neither of these is a first, so far as politicians are concerned, particularly PM's with big majorities and their support teams.

    Boris Johnson's comments about women wearing the burka have given an impression that the Tories are "insensitive to Muslim communities", an independent review has said.

    The prime minister ordered a report in 2019 into how the party handles discrimination allegations.

    It found anti-Muslim views were seen at local association and individual level.

    Even then, his article came out in favour of Muslim women being allowed to wear the burka.

    In "liberal" France, a full face veil is banned in public places.

    Need spoon feeding? OK then,

    Peter Stefanovic is a former partner at Simpson Millar LLP. A leading Legal 500 lawyer, Stefanovic was nominated for Legal Personality of the Year in the 2016 Solicitors Journal Awards. He is also a columnist and commentator in new media.

    Obviously, he’s anti Tory.

    They are coming out of the woodwork now. Where were they all after Labour and Captain Hindsight got stuffed in the recent elections? It was a ghost town on here the day after... yet today? mmm I wonder why?

    Never heard of him, but he's clearly a household name and totally impartial, so forgive me for being totally ****ing underwhelmed.

    I dont honestly think this has anything to do with any other party mate. This is the story of the moment. Obviously labour supporters wont like that they got stuffed in the recent elections just as much as you wont like whats going on within the government at the moment.

    I couldnt think of anything else that quite summed up your response Goldy. It surprised me from yourself in fairness. Thought you had more about you.

    You could be a little more specific in your criticism, Bob
