Lockdown FPN's in Westminster - Who'll go if fined?

[rjfp1962]

Johnson has as we know been fined and shows absolutely no intension of resigning...! No surprise there...

Starmer & Rayner have said they will resign if issued with FPN's. High risk strategy, but they'd have had to go anyway if fined?

Will any of these still be in post at the end of 2022?

Who else is likely to go?

As we have already seen, Boris will throw anyone under the bus to save his skin.

I’m guessing Starmer and Rayner already know they’ll avoid fines, hence the statement.

As for who’ll go from the Conservatives, they’ll probably sacrifice a few nobodies to make out lessons have been learned but keep the main players.

As I have posted before the Chair at Credit Suisse had to go for breach of rules I see no difference with Johnson and Rishi

If Starmer is cautioned without being fined, won't the pressure still be on him to resign.?

He called for Johnson & Sunak to resign before they received their FPN's....!

Can we just not declare an amnesty and, you know.... move on? Some are obsedded with cake. Others, obsessed with beer.

Maybe time to move on?

One should never move on from beer. Or cake for that matter.

Can that happen? I thought the FPN was effectively a caution with a nominal penalty. If there’s enough o caution then there’s enough to fine. Either way he’s played a blinder here. Fined, he goes, heaps pressure onto Johnson; not fined he stays but the pressure goes back onto Johnson.

I am sure Johnson would love that.

This whole playground nonsense is pathetic, and plays to the predilections and prejudices of the readership. It is also highly frustrating when there is a political leader in the UK who is currently under police investigation for potential fraud relating to party donations (but will not be charged because the Lord Advocate is on the cabinet and therefor subject to political influence), has been found guilty of misleading her parliament and lying to an enquiry, commenced and lost two "malicious prosecutions", yet is still lauded by the media as a moral superior to the Labour and Conservative leaders and is instead given airtime for her policy of constitutional vandalism rather than her misdemeanours and fundamental incompetence.

Truly staggering folks, stop obsessing about beer and cake and start looking North at genuine political corruption and moral bankruptcy.

To be honest its boring, and the vast majority of people dont really give a st. Boris wont resign, and will only leave if the Tory MP's oust him.

If Starmer is fined he will have to resign otherwise no-one will trust him. I dont see him getting a fine anyway so its a pointless argument.

Much bigger things to worry about with cost of living and people not being able to put food on the table.
