If chemical weapons have been used in Ukraine (and I have no reason to believe they haven't), and whatever teams are out there at the moment trying to prove it one way or another come to the conclusion they have, I'm sure Parliament (if it's not sitting) will be recalled. And any MP using the time allocated to Ukraine to ask about FPN's should seriously re-assess their priorities.
The actual wankers are those using the cloak of Ukraine to get a chance to have a pop at their boogie-man.
Parliament will be recalled soon. I'm sure any questions can wait and they will be asked. The issue isn't going away.
And I am sure you are sure of all that because you are sure Boris is a fundamentally decent chap. And you are sure of that because you are a fucking banana.
We just spent the afternoon at the British Museum, taking the little 'un to the Stonehenge exhibition there. Thanks to everyone who recommended it - it was awesome. It kept a seven-year old enthralled for ninety minutes.
I did see some work by Leon's predecessors on the wall...
It was great to be back in London for he first time in two and a half years, and to see it busy and bustling.
Now you believe us! It’s been buzzing - and largely unmasked - for a good while now.

Ah, a nice sensible reply. I have no idea whether he is a decent chap or not. I don't know him. I assume you do?

I don't think I ever denied London's been buzzing, did I? It'd be hard for me to do as I haven't been there.
(I've also said Cambridge has felt quite busy, even with a relative lack of Asian language students / foreign tourists.)
Australia, Britain and the United States have asked Japan to join the security pact AUKUS, Sankei newspaper reported, citing multiple government sources..
Tho maybe that works: JOKERS, or are we joking? Care to guess, Vladimir?
More seriously, AUKUS begins to look like the future of the geopolitical world: it is the west plus Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, it is the liberal democracies versus Russia/China. This is the new Cold War
A thought came to my mind today. Perhaps if this happens: a sort of JAUKUSNATO against China, Russia .... er Syria, and whatever other unfortunate dictatorships they can blackmail.... is that really such a bad thing ? Would we not just go back to the cold war again. That seems to have some appeal as a relatively stable situation, compared with how things are at the moment.
At same conference, Putin called #RussianWarCrimes in 🇺🇦Bucha the same "fake" as accusations of int'l organizations of Assad's use of chemical weapons in Syria, which 🇷🇺 attempted to portray as USA airstrike
So, given that Russia insists it is partaking of special operations in Ukraine, not a war, is Lukashenko agreeing that Russia is committing atrocities?

You say "I'm sure Parliament (if it's not sitting) will be recalled." Do you know whose decision that is? Sole decision?
Reading some of the German responses to Zelensky's snub of Steinmeier, there's quite a bit of "you need us more than we need you" and people taking affront at Ukraine being critical of them.
"Das war ein Befehl! Der Angriff Steinmeiers war ein Befehl!"
Practically and geographically speaking, the military alliance of the US, Japan, the UK, Oz, would be unbeatable. One of the two global superpowers, plus two G7 powers, and another nuclear power, plus the crucial Indo-Pacific continent: Australia, with all its potential
This is how we confine the evil of Russia/China, as NATO is legally restricted and the EU is horribly divided
Add in South Korea and Taiwan (surely?) and we have a coalition of great prowess and about 650mn people, and the most technologically advanced countries on the planet

Cock-gobbling waffle. If you think that wanting the HoC to be able to hold the PM to account for lying to it is "venting" you just don't exist as a morally autonomous human being at all. Do you also think that being opposed to hardcore child porn, say, or the holocaust, is "venting"? Can you, before we go any further, explain in plain English exactly what you mean by "venting"?
Someone who voted for Macron in 2017 tells him that he's never seen such a rubbish president and calls him a Machiavellian liar. He says he'll vote for Le Pen this time having never voted for her before. Macron responds by saying he has bad arguments and suggests he's crazy.
I suspect that the publication of this story is a likelier reason that Parliament is no longer being recalled to discuss the issue, but frankly if 'partygate' means that the Mother of Parliaments is now not recalled to add pantomime to a US charade, that's one thing in partygate's favour.
The 🇬🇧 changed PM 👉🏻four times in the war in Afghanistan 👉🏻in the Iraq War 👉🏻in the Gulf War 👉🏻in the Korean War 👉🏻in the Second World War 👉🏻in the First World War 👉🏻in the Second Boer War 👉🏻in the Second Opium War 👉🏻in the Crimean War 👉🏻twice in the Peninsular War
Nothing before gulf war matters as time of communication/ decision making v different
Yes, it is even easier to communicate and make decisions, and enact those decisions worldwide, so the implications of making the switch are less.
Nah - other way round. IIRC some of the Indian wars were fought and won before the message arrived in London saying the country was at war. So lots of local delegation.
When the PM is making every big decision it’s a more important risk to have a hiatus

Politico.com - South Dakota attorney general impeached over fatal crash Jason Ravnsborg will at least temporarily be removed from office pending the historic [state] Senate trial, where it takes a two-thirds majority to convict on impeachment charges.
In 2003 former Gov. and US Rep. Bill Janklow (R-SD) was tried & convicted of vehicular manslaughter.
Note that South Dakota is a LARGE sparsely-populated state. So people drive FAST. Especially politicos heading home from political events. And too often with more than gasoline filling their tanks.
BTW, at time of Janklow case, local Indians maintained it was NOT first time he'd killed someone while DUI.
To whom does the Chancellor of the Exchequer send his request for the Chiltern Hundreds?
His wife's tax avoidance made excruciatingly clear. His loyalty to America made excruciatingly clear. Her stuff moved out of Downing Street to destinations unknown. His political career over. And now this humiliation. Why not walk?
I thought the removal vans heading out of Downing Street towards the OC earlier this week was telling.
He's going isn't he?
Surely the rank odour from the BigDog next door can't be the reason for the visit from Pickfords.
Boris cannot afford to have Sunak resign over taxes but declare he is leaving over partygate. The Prime Minister and Chancellor must hang together, for fear of being hanged separately. This means Boris must launch Operation Save Big Dog's Next Door Neighbour.

I'm sorry I misunderstand. Are you equating a Birthday party contravening COVID restrictions and subsequently attracting a Fixed Penalty Notice to chid pornography or the Holocaust? I think you are getting things a little out of perspective and need a lie-down.
We are talking about Ukraine if you remember. And the recall of parliament to discuss the alleged (or actual) use of biological/chemical weapons.
Of course opposition MP's vent. That's all they can really do. Do you think that some unbeknownst truth will be outed by the Labour member for Dunny-on-the-Wold getting their chance to quiz the PM? Nope. Every question from every MP will be answered by the same answer. And our collective understanding of the issue will increase by zero.

Evil exists because of the moral imbecility of people like you. There's the Fuhrer, in your view, and there's venters, and you know where your loyalty is.
This is the first time in our country’s history that a Prime Minister has been found guilty of breaking the law - at a time when Britain made unimaginable sacrifices.
And then lied about it.
Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak have dishonoured their office.

Just first time he'd done it to a White man.
The most unbelievable thing about the story was just getting away with a fine to begin with given how clearly his story ("Thought I hit an animal") was an obvious pack of lies.

Lost that I'm guessing, and also (or rather just before) with likely SD voters in private GOP polling
Macron's "mais vous êtes fou ou quoi?" could be his Mrs Duffy moment.
Moments don't effect campaigns, though they might embody them.
Its effect might affect the campaign.
Yes, though it could go either way.
Part of Gordon's problem was that he saved the insult for after the encounter when he thought the mic was off.
Macron at least had the chops to criticise someone to their face. And he's not wrong, is he?
It was only meant to teach the difference between affect and effect tbh. But I agree with you that it could be positive, after all Macron, right or wrong, is engaging with a voter.

Well done.
You are becoming increasingly ridiculous. If at any moment I thought an opposition MP could prevent "evil" as you so put it then I would be cheering them on. But we're not talking "evil" here are we? We're talking about a fine.
So go on. Tell me then. What would the Labour Honourable member for Dunny-on-the-Wold asking the PM a particularly well crafted question bring to this whole saga? Do you some how think the question would be so earth-shatteringly probing and explosive that the PM would hold his hands up and admit defeat to the obvious genius of the MP, or will it be hour after hour of rinse repeat bullshit.
It's not party political. Conservative MP's from 1997 to 2010 were as useful to the running of the country as a chocolate teapot. That's what opposition really means facing a large government majority. You're a clever chap. Apparently. So I fail to see why you don't get this obvious and fundamental point.
Keep insulting me if it makes you feel better though.
Why does Rishi claim in his apology that as a public official he has been treated “stringently”?
He really thinks laws - and taxes - are for little people, doesn’t he?
In a sense he has. If the event had been interrupted at the time the police would have advised them against doing what they were doing and there the matter would have rested. I don’t imagine any other historic minor infractions are being investigated. Not saying that these ones shouldn’t be, to be clear, but it’s rather a special case.
"Boris Johnson fined for lockdown breaches" (as quoted from Politico) has odd ring in American ears.
To extent we know who he is (far from universal) the last word suggest (to us in US) that he was wearing some kind of especially outlandish knee pants (like English forced Americans to wear before the Revolution) during COVID lockdown. For reasons best known to himself? But clearly upsetting to his countrymen and (esp?) women.
All-too-revealing Capri pants? Bottomless bloomers? The sick mind boggles!

"breeches" is one of a only a small number of Celtic words to have been imported into English, I believe.
Just discovered my sister-in-law works on the team responsible for assessing whether COVID fixed penalty notices should be handed out. I suspect she enjoyed her job more recently.

'Lockdown' breaches - perhaps Carrie commissioned those specially with a padlock to prevent extra-curricular adventures.
Australia, Britain and the United States have asked Japan to join the security pact AUKUS, Sankei newspaper reported, citing multiple government sources..
Tho maybe that works: JOKERS, or are we joking? Care to guess, Vladimir?
More seriously, AUKUS begins to look like the future of the geopolitical world: it is the west plus Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, it is the liberal democracies versus Russia/China. This is the new Cold War
A thought came to my mind today. Perhaps if this happens: a sort of JAUKUSNATO against China, Russia .... er Syria, and whatever other unfortunate dictatorships they can blackmail.... is that really such a bad thing ? Would we not just go back to the cold war again. That seems to have some appeal as a relatively stable situation, compared with how things are at the moment.
James Bond would find a new purpose at least
The thing about the Cold War is that ultimately both sides were pretty rational, even restrained - often all kinds of obtuse, stubborn, manipulative, etc., but not bonkers. It was in retrospect never seriously likely that Brezhnev was going to attack Germany, or Nixon attack Poland. A Cold War with Putin, Xi and maybe Trump would be rather less reasssuring.

If chemical weapons have been used in Ukraine (and I have no reason to believe they haven't), and whatever teams are out there at the moment trying to prove it one way or another come to the conclusion they have, I'm sure Parliament (if it's not sitting) will be recalled. And any MP using the time allocated to Ukraine to ask about FPN's should seriously re-assess their priorities.
The actual wankers are those using the cloak of Ukraine to get a chance to have a pop at their boogie-man.
Parliament will be recalled soon. I'm sure any questions can wait and they will be asked. The issue isn't going away.
And I am sure you are sure of all that because you are sure Boris is a fundamentally decent chap. And you are sure of that because you are a fucking banana.
Ah, a nice sensible reply. I have no idea whether he is a decent chap or not. I don't know him. I assume you do?
No, numptoid. I judge the decency or otherwise of people by what they do, and I know a lot about what johnson does without having met him. How hard to understand is that?
You say "I'm sure Parliament (if it's not sitting) will be recalled." Do you know whose decision that is? Sole decision?
Thought not.
Continue with the insults - it's funny. Says more about you than me.
Anyhow I'm very much aware of who recalls Parliament thank-you. And I reiterate if the use of chemical/biological weapons is proven when Parliament is in recess I am sure it would be recalled. Why would you recall Parliament if those facts hadn't been established? For what purpose would that serve?
Or do you just want Parliament to be recalled so MP's can vent at Johnson (for that's all it would be for), under the guise of it being for Ukraine?
Cock-gobbling waffle. If you think that wanting the HoC to be able to hold the PM to account for lying to it is "venting" you just don't exist as a morally autonomous human being at all. Do you also think that being opposed to hardcore child porn, say, or the holocaust, is "venting"? Can you, before we go any further, explain in plain English exactly what you mean by "venting"?
I'm sorry I misunderstand. Are you equating a Birthday party contravening COVID restrictions and subsequently attracting a Fixed Penalty Notice to chid pornography or the Holocaust? I think you are getting things a little out of perspective and need a lie-down.
We are talking about Ukraine if you remember. And the recall of parliament to discuss the alleged (or actual) use of biological/chemical weapons.
Of course opposition MP's vent. That's all they can really do. Do you think that some unbeknownst truth will be outed by the Labour member for Dunny-on-the-Wold getting their chance to quiz the PM? Nope. Every question from every MP will be answered by the same answer. And our collective understanding of the issue will increase by zero.
Evil exists because of the moral imbecility of people like you. There's the Fuhrer, in your view, and there's venters, and you know where your loyalty is.
Well done.
You are becoming increasingly ridiculous. If at any moment I thought an opposition MP could prevent "evil" as you so put it then I would be cheering them on. But we're not talking "evil" here are we? We're talking about a fine.
So go on. Tell me then. What would the Labour Honourable member for Dunny-on-the-Wold asking the PM a particularly well crafted question bring to this whole saga? Do you some how think the question would be so earth-shatteringly probing and explosive that the PM would hold his hands up and admit defeat to the obvious genius of the MP, or will it be hour after hour of rinse repeat bullshit.
It's not party political. Conservative MP's from 1997 to 2010 were as useful to the running of the country as a chocolate teapot. That's what opposition really means facing a large government majority. You're a clever chap. Apparently. So I fail to see why you don't get this obvious and fundamental point.
Keep insulting me if it makes you feel better though.
What is this absolutely hilarious Dunny on the Wold stuff? You don't realise it, but your point is that the little people don't count and it is ridiculous to think that they do. You are a moral and intellectual vacuum, and part of the reason why evil triumphs when it does.
Someone who voted for Macron in 2017 tells him that he's never seen such a rubbish president and calls him a Machiavellian liar. He says he'll vote for Le Pen this time having never voted for her before. Macron responds by saying he has bad arguments and suggests he's crazy.

It's obvious you have nothing to say other than flinging insults so I sincerely hope you manage to address whatever personal issue you are struggling with soon. All the best with it and I'm sure things will get better eventually!

In his defence I was never convinced he knew what he was talking about at the time...

I suspect that the publication of this story is a likelier reason that Parliament is no longer being recalled to discuss the issue, but frankly if 'partygate' means that the Mother of Parliaments is now not recalled to add pantomime to a US charade, that's one thing in partygate's favour.
When the PM is making every big decision it’s a more important risk to have a hiatus

Politico.com - South Dakota attorney general impeached over fatal crash
Jason Ravnsborg will at least temporarily be removed from office pending the historic [state] Senate trial, where it takes a two-thirds majority to convict on impeachment charges.
https://www.politico.com/news/2022/04/12/south-dakota-attorney-general-impeached-crash-00024743
In 2003 former Gov. and US Rep. Bill Janklow (R-SD) was tried & convicted of vehicular manslaughter.
Note that South Dakota is a LARGE sparsely-populated state. So people drive FAST. Especially politicos heading home from political events. And too often with more than gasoline filling their tanks.
BTW, at time of Janklow case, local Indians maintained it was NOT first time he'd killed someone while DUI.
Just first time he'd done it to a White man.
We are talking about Ukraine if you remember. And the recall of parliament to discuss the alleged (or actual) use of biological/chemical weapons.

Everyone dealing with Boris knows what they are getting into; and if not they are too stupid to do any role anyway.
Well done.
And then lied about it.
Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak have dishonoured their office.
They must resign. https://twitter.com/Keir_Starmer/status/1513979587239333892/video/1
EDIT: The about face from the state GOP is weird. I wonder if Ravnsborg has lost an internal power struggle.

Part of Gordon's problem was that he saved the insult for after the encounter when he thought the mic was off.
Macron at least had the chops to criticise someone to their face. And he's not wrong, is he?
Perhaps a backroom deal where he agrees to go next year in return for no VONC now?
I’m knackered.
He really thinks laws - and taxes - are for little people, doesn’t he?
But I agree with you that it could be positive, after all Macron, right or wrong, is engaging with a voter.

If it is the fecking shellacking I am hoping for, then maybe you are right.
To extent we know who he is (far from universal) the last word suggest (to us in US) that he was wearing some kind of especially outlandish knee pants (like English forced Americans to wear before the Revolution) during COVID lockdown. For reasons best known to himself? But clearly upsetting to his countrymen and (esp?) women.
All-too-revealing Capri pants? Bottomless bloomers? The sick mind boggles!

There are many for whom Boris can do no wrong. They'll vote enthusiastically.
Hopefully Madrid will get another now and ensure Chelsea’s departure.
