Boris on Corbyn’s friends

Parliament has a different feel to it today.

He asks about Iran, the right honourable gentleman who has been paid by Press TV of Iran, who repeatedly sides with the mullahs of Tehran rather than our friends in the United States over what is happening in the Persian Gulf. How incredible that we should even think of entrusting that gentleman with the stewardship of this country’s security.

We all know it, but not everyone has been paying attention. I don’t know if it has been put so bluntly in Parliament before. And the rest of Boris Johnson’s answer is equally blunt. He has certainly added some energy to the proceedings. How much of this can Corbyn take?

    I am actually enjoying watching politics, how fucking weird is that? 😀

  2. Boris did seem to have the wind in his sails. Jacob Rees-Mogg was a great warm-up act. He was born to be Leader of the House – the parliamentary sketchwriter of the Times, Quentin Letts, called it “the best ministerial debut I have seen”. From the same article, he said about Boris’s performance:

    Now he was bellowing at Mr Corbyn for being a stooge of Iran and mocking him for his U-turn on Europe. It was worse, he said, that the Invasion of the Bodysnatchers. He had been “jugulated and reprogrammed and turned into a Remainer”. It was all of a piece with his “tergiversating career”. By now even Karen Bradley and James Brokenshire were laughing and cheering. The change in mood on the Tory benches was remarkable. Never sad, unconfident twilight again.

    and

    It lasted for an hour and a half and he took 129 questions. He didn’t muff one.

    “Never” is a strong word. But it was a stronger start to Boris’s premiership than I expected. I had believed various commentators in the press when they said that he was too anxious to be liked; that his house of cards would come crashing down when he found he had made incompatible promises of cabinet office to everyone in sight. It turned out that when selecting his cabinet he was quite willing not to try to please everybody.

    I’m not loyal to Boris Johnson or the Conservatives per se, any more than I’m loyal to Nigel Farage and the Brexit Party. I just want this done.

  3. Mr Corbyn is an evil person – and his associates are evil people.

    The public can not just be expected to “know” this by magic – it is the job of a politician to TELL THE PEOPLE about the threats the nations faces.

    Boris Johnson is, at least, prepared to do tell the people – although I wish his voice was rather clearer.
