It's amazing how some people have so contorted themselves to align with an anti-liberal (or anti-something) identity that they have turned themselves into shills for big oil.

In summary a less than impressive Labour performance. Post partygate Boris got what he knew was coming but it wasn’t too bad in the greater scheme of things. 2 years now to move the party in its intended direction and get this nonsense behind them.
A bit quiet on here concerning that starmer blokes impending fine for breaking lock down rules, wonder if he'll offer to resign if found guilty, probably just unlucky getting caught.

What is the intended direction of the Conservative party, iyo?

He’d have to resign, on principle, imo. After the standard he has held Johnson, and in some ways Corbyn, to. Also, I suspect he’s basically a honourable. I’d like to think it’d help get shot of Johnson too… but I suspect he’ll try to exploit it as ‘see, it wasn’t just me’. I increasingly think it’ll be cost of living, and general drift and incompetence that’ll do for Johnson in the end.

I'm ok if Starmer is fined and consequently resigns but, surely, he shouldn't go unless Johnson also resigns ?
It's vanishingly unlikely Starmer will be found guilty given all we know about this and why it's being investigated. But if he were he'd have to go, and I'm sure as a pretty honourable person, he would.

Nobody with a shred of decency, honour or dignity can justify their actions by saying they’re no worse that Johnson, and sinking to his standards.
