Curiouser and curiouser. 2 days after the Salisbury Poisonings too.
Just what WAS he doing going alone, then being vague about the details later?

I’m not on any ‘side’.
I do however want to see the country run by anyone who at the very least is generally is deemed competent, trustworthy, honest, up front but crucially transparent.
We need the likes of Tom Tugendhat, Chris Bryant, Tobias Ellwood, Yvette Cooper, Aaron Bell.
Decent politicians who don’t appear to have any hidden agenda, are not in it for what they can get and appear genuine in wanting to serve the public.
Yes, government is difficult but if you’ve chosen that path you must do it to the best of your ability but making sure above all that you remain accountable to that public.
It’s not a lot to ask and has been diabolically lacking but especially so since 2019.
Idiotic remark.
Which one Paign? It could be correctly targeted any one of a couple of hundred over the last 48 hours.
Johnson thinks he reported the meeting, but can’t be sure.
There are accusations that he was ‘very drunk’.
Alcohol seems to be a factor in a lot of his errors.
Journalists and politicians, writers and researchers meet former KGB/SVR bods all the time. What's hard to understand?

Not sure how many links Corbyn had to wealthy Russians though, maybe you can enlighten us?
On face value it certainly seems that the Tories have more questionable contacts to wealthy Russians than the Labour Party could even dream of!
Furthermore, Corbyn has never been Foreign Secretary but if he had I’d expect him to have been scrutinised over such a meeting and rightly so.

But it obviously becomes a matter of national security when the Foreign Secretary does it in Italy with no security service personnel present and no official record of it.
Please tell me you understand the gravitas of that?
Utterly ridiculous confected fuss about *** all.
This was how many years ago? What a load of muck-raking rubbish!
Question Author
Thanks for the confirmation that you clearly don’t.
Naomi: Exactly. Purile, desperate, confected posturing.
They can’t help themselves, paigntonian. Pathetic.

Terrible when parliamentary select committees carry out the job of democracy and accountability that they’re tasked with, isn’t it?
They become suspicious when something looks ‘iffy’ and the participant has gained infamy for being evasive, terribly forgetful and often economical with the truth.
Question Author
Yet again though, it’s funny how none of his fans can give a reasonable explanation for his actions, nor explain his propensity for memory loss over matters of great importance?
The select committee must be equally as puzzled I suppose?
This isn’t new ‘news’ - it was reported years ago - but it’s been dug up again now because they want him to go immediately. They don’t know what to come up with next so they resort to scraping the barrel.

I guess they just want the truth from someone who’s a stranger to it?

It was ‘dug up’ at the select committee hearing, well before events overtook him and he was strongly encouraged to resign.
I’m not guessing. I KNOW they’re scraping the barrel. It really is utterly pathetic.

Johnson’s evasion? I agree, pathetic in the extreme.
As you KNOW so much, care to explain why Johnson did what he did?
I think not. Waste of time explaining anything to brick walls.
