    Only 37% of Americans think President Trump should be impeached a new Quinnipiac poll shows, 57% do not think he should be impeached. 21% of Democrats think the President should not be impeached and 58% of Independent voters as well as 95% of Republicans

    What's the latest poll-post court case?

    I dropped out 90 mins ago and have just logged in again. The debate has not moved an inch. PB is mimicking Parliament.

    This parliamentary swithering is just pointless. Every time an opposition MP stands up to hurl the same boring rant at Boris, the viewer is left to think; well then just call an election??

    Labour’s refusal to demand a GE is gonna hurt them.

    Exactly.. It is all looking rediculous now.. If you have no confidence in the PM VONC him or support an election.. Too much sniping and tweeting and not enough guts
    I assume you can see why they don't do that even if you'd like them to?
  • Laura K sounding particularly bleak about the scenes tonight. Feels like the top of a bottle has been removed and will be difficult to put back.

    It's very nasty. All round.
    Exhibit A.. hand-delivered to the home of a Labour candidate. Interestingly, there’s a 50-50 chance it’s from her own side, seeing as the CLP VONCd her but she refused to step down and Labour has no process to make her!

    Wonder if more events like tonight this will give rise to more err... "shy Tories"

    There's an argument that many Tories will keep quiet in the hope Boris gets a decent majority and then defenster him when he next fucks up, take over and then run it properly.
    That's as hopeful as shy Labouirites waiting for Corbyn to keel over...

    Or those shy post Weimar Gerrmans hoping that they could control Hitler who was so obviously unfit to be leader....

    Grown some bollox Casino...call Johnson for what he is...

    I fucking despise Corbyn for his Stalinist takeover of my party
    I've not been shy of expressing my views on Johnson on here using what would be considered unparliamentary language.

    Have you been drinking again?
    Aside from the drinking comments..your intrinsic belief that Tories are better suited to running things is what rankles....

    The Tories brought us this absolute pile of shyte..no one else, Cameron, the ERG, the pseudo Eton politics, the divine right of these idiots...

    The EU psychodrama is one that has been foisted on us by the Tories....you have blood on your hands.....

    The Tories are a fucking health risk to UKplc....even if grandpa Corbyn and his ideological zealots are unfit too..there are plenty of sensible parties that are much better starting with the SNP, Greens, Plaid, and the LD's to name a few

    I hesitate to risk a comparison which shows BJ’s oratory performance in a positive light.

    But Trump makes him look like Laurence Olivier. He clearly wanders into the room thinking he can busk it, utterly deluded about his own capabilities.

    At least Johnson tonight managed a couple of hours basically sticking to his script. The Jo Cox/humbug stuff was the glaring diversion (and a bad one), but it was otherwise a Campbellesque display of message discipline. And he was generally less shouty than Corbyn. I know we should aspire to better, and maybe a Trump-like verbal vomit would tell us more. But we could have worse.

    Even the malevolent response to Paula Sheriff will go down well in extreme Leaverland. And although many Tory MPs looked uncomfortable tonight they will still follow Boris like the good lap dogs they are.

    Johnson hoovered up the Nigel Farage and the Tommy Robinson vote tonight.

    Andrew Neil can be very irritating but he's very good at knocking various party policies into shape. Labour's idea of getting rid of private schools has merit but after a few minutes interview with their education spokesman it was clear they hadn't thought it through. Now they'll have to.

    What is the merit?

    How the fuck did we manage to end up with Boris Johnson?

    Discuss

    Because TweedleMay and TweeedleCorbyn called an unnecessary election in 2017.
    I used to call Cameron, Clegg and Miliband...tweedledum, tweedledde, and tweedlethree back in the day....

    Johnson could have been alright as PM (sort of)...in a time of political scenerity......his rampant shagging, immorality would have been a tittering distraction.....

    but this fucking pathological man is around now
    You've never been funny or original then?
