Being rehoused for overcrowding takes years, although run down high rise flats are sometimes unwanted, but it doesnt seem like that.

Mister M   1,625 #1348 Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) Really proud of Dawn Butler MP for calling Johnson a "liar" in Parliament today. Yes she got ejected from the Commons for the day, but at least she wasn't found to have tried to influence a judge presiding over the trial of a former colleague for sexual assault. That would be Sir Roger Gale, Theresa Villiers and Natalie Elphicke – the then partner of Charlie Elphicke, who was given two years in prison after being found guilty of three counts of sexual assault. Gale, Villiers and Elphicke were also suspended from the Commons for day.

Mister M   1,625 #1351 Posted July 22, 2021 Just now, Delayed said: Ah yes Dawn Butler that has never lied during her political career..... So Dawn Butler is as bad as Boris Johnson. I don't know what lies Butler has told either in the HoC or otherwise, but I would've thought the fact that he's the Prime Minister who has repeatedly lied and eroded public trust during an infectious pandemic, might have helped you order whose official statements are important.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Mister M Â Â 1,625 #1355 Posted July 22, 2021 1 minute ago, Delayed said: https://www.markpack.org.uk/8965/will-66000-expenses-claim-sink-dawn-butler/ Â Expenses scandal. Not election swaying but a lie is still a lie and she can't hold the moral high ground So no MP can hold the PM to account for fear that someone will throw something from the expenses scandal back in their faces? Well if that's the case were all screwed. And I come back to the point that he is the Prime Minister, it is an infectious pandemic, and public trust in their leader is important in pandemic. He's repeatedly lied during a pandemic and as a consequence in her words "people have paid with their lives", Â that needs pointing out. 10 minutes ago, Delayed said: So it's ok to lie to the public if you aren't the prime minister?
