Meanwhile, autres temps and all that... but I think we decorated this entire house back in 1986 for less than the cost of one roll of that wallpaper - and that included carpets.

"What do you reckon about Boris' flat, eh? You'd think that they'd have better things to argue about, wouldn't you?"

My Mum, continuing her quest to be the poster woman for any Tory talking point you've got.

These are tough times readers, and this is why I'm launching this appeal.
People are living impoverished lives in substandard housing.

Did you know, a donation costing little more than 325 cups of coffee will provide one roll of wallpaper to alleviate this hardship.

Is that before or after Boris has the law conveniently rewritten so the issue goes away?

I don't think we do the 'Keith' bollocks here, except with very heavy irony, reminisce (sic) as it is of the dead hand of Jezza, and all that entails...

If Johnson just says "No the rules don't say that, I disagree" then what? If it comes down to a majority vote of MPs, then what? Purdah was largely ignored during the last GE and nothing happened. Tories funelled dark money to various places and broke electoral spending rules, and nothing happened. We're post-accountability so complaining to the referee isn't going to work here.
Yes, handing Johnson an 80 seat majority by enabling a GE when the Tories are ahead in the polls and Labour are led by the most unpopular leader in modern history has consequences.
All the opposition can do now is expose him and hope public opinion unnerves sufficient Tory backbenchers to unseat Major Sleaze.

It's juvenile but I would appreciate a Dennis Skinner-type figure being ejected for straight shooting about what a corrupt, lying bastard Johnson is.
