McDonnell says Boris Johnson just said “pathetic” to him.
McDonnell says he knows what develops real pathos – seeing the experience of those suffering from benefit cuts, he says.
Don't ever fuck with an autodidact.

I actually thought Johnson was muttering at McD while sitting next to Javid but from the video he's somewhere else, further away in the commons barking out at the Cummings jibe?
Not sure he'll last the election at all.

HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE THERE AT ALL
he bottled bcz he intuited it wd be horrible, he wz coaxed back as may flailed with cunning plans and no doubt billionaires offering material and political rewards, he decided -- in his infinite dog-ate-my-homework arrogance -- that he could probably wing it at least towards the workable new state that may couldn't wrangle, BUT IT'S HORRIBLE AND HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE THERE

"that he could probably wing it at least towards the workable new state that may couldn't wrangle, BUT IT'S HORRIBLE AND HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE THERE"
I remember footage of a (word of the day) bullying performance by Johnson at the London assembly and thinking that while he may not want this, there is also an element of past mayoral success at play. Worked then so why not now. The answers are easy enough but once that bluster could get him through the worst (or some) of it...except now he is dealing with politicians of a different order and experience, under a different level of focus too.

Nothing in particular was said, from what I remember it was him being very dismissive of the whole thing. Like it was beneath him to be there to be asked questions by public servants.

This is just getting more and more hilarious.
The veteran Conservative MP Roger Gale said the strategy pursued by Boris Johnson and his advisor Dominic Cummings “is in danger of tearing the party apart” and said the 1922 Committee of backbench Conservatives may have to act.“I think to have an unelected, foul-mouthed oaf at the heart of Downing Street is dangerous and unacceptable,” he told ITV news.

To recap correctly(?) Johnson said he didn't want an election but has spent most of today buck-buckawing at Corbyn and calling him a big girl's blouse for resisting the offer of a GE without ruling out No Deal.

And Parliament really is Sovereign
The court of session in Edinburgh has rejected an attempt to prevent Boris Johnson’s prorogation of the House of Commons.
Lord Doherty, the judge who heard the case, said the decision could not be measured against legal standards as it was matter of high policy and political judgment, and was therefore for politicians to settle.
