Nope. I believe its because the PM attended the party. Cameron was a lot of things - I couldnt stand him - but I dont believe he would have been stupid enough to have done that.
If he had I think he would now be in a similar position to Boris.
Of course his enemies - including arch remainers will love to put the boot in, but he has brought it on himself.
He will be lucky to be in the job come the summer. I think the Tories will force him out.

So is the outrage purely because the PM attended a party which was against the law at the time?  Or is there an added hysteria solely because it's Boris Johnson and he is the man who took us out of the EU?  ???
I get a distinct feeling, the anger is coming from the fact he stood up on national TV spurting a load of very significant restrictions, yet somehow they didn't apply to him and his mates.

I don't think it would matter what the history, or how good a leader he was.


And he will never be looked at as a great leader, because he has lost that most critical requirements, integrity.  And that is why he really has to go.  He cannot run a country when the entire populous knows he is an elitist liar, and he can not negotiate with his foreign counterparts, because they all know he is an elitist liar.  And the longer this goes on, the UK becomes even more of a laughing stock.

Laughing stock?

Plenty of countries near Britain have their own scandals etc. they dont get widely reported as the UK is obsessed with English speaking countries ie the USA.

Austria “ Austria's Chancellor Sebastian Kurz has stepped down, after pressure triggered by a corruption scandal.
He has proposed Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg as his replacement.
Mr Kurz and nine others were placed under investigation after raids at a number of locations linked to his conservative People's Party (ÖVP).“

Sweden’s pm employing an illegal cleaner.

Yes there's plenty of shenanigans with leaders on the continent, but we rarely get to hear about it from the corrupt British media because they want us to think everything is rosy over the channel!  ;)

Finland's PM recently got caught, out on the lash in a nightclub at 3.00am.

Ex French President Nicholas Sarkozy was convicted and sentenced to 3 years in jail for corruption.

Remember Italy's Silvio Berlusconi and his 'Bunga Bunga' parties?

Angela Merkel was probably too clever to get caught!

Then there's the EU.

Ursula Von der Layonherback was under investigation in Germany for awarding expensive contracts to consultants in her former job as Germany's Defence Minister. 

Josep Borrell Fontelles the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy has a conviction for insider trading.

Christine Lagarde the President of the ECB has a conviction for corruption.

Jean Claude Juncker usually looked like he was pissed after lunch and was nicknamed Jean Claude Drunker.

Charles Michel the current President of the European Council was handed his job after losing his last job as PM of Belgium when he lost a vote of no confidence.

Had Britain stayed in the EU, Boris would have been in good company at Berlaymont and would have made a fine President of the EU Commission!  :y  ;D

More party revelations.  ::)

Allegedly there were two separate leaving do's at 10 Downing St on the night before Prince Phillip's funeral. When the flags were at half mast.

At some point the two knees up's merged, someone got sent out with a suitcase to the Coop on The Strand on a booze run, and the party spilled out into the garden where someone tried out Wilf Johnson's swing and broke it!

Apparently Boris Johnson was at Chequers.

The hysterical outrage will continue!  :D

Now Tory MP Christian Wakeford has defected to the Labour Party and called on Boris Johnson to quit as prime minister.  He crossed the House.

Another veteran Tory MP quoted the old request to Chamberlain in 1940 towards Boris in the House:  "In the name of God, go!"

All they need now is the 54 letters in to the 1922 Committee! :D ;)

If he survives, Boris should use his majority to change the law so that MP's cannot just change party and stay on as an MP.

The people of Bury South elected a Tory MP and Christian Wakeford should resign and stand for the Labour Party in the by election if he wants to be a Labour MP.

That's assuming the Labour Party would select him as a candidate!  :D

You honestly think Boris stands any chance of getting anything controversial through parliament at the moment?

The people of Bury South elected a Tory MP and Christian Wakeford should resign and stand for the Labour Party in the by election if he wants to be a Labour MP.

They didn't. They elected Christian Wakeford, for a 5 year term. If they want to change their minds, they'll get a chance in 2 years time. I'll quote Churchill....

Quote from: Churchill
The first duty of a member of Parliament is to do what he thinks in his faithful and disinterested judgement is right and necessary for the honour and safety of Great Britain. His second duty is to his constituents, of whom he is the representative but not the delegate. Burke's famous declaration on this subject is well known. It is only in the third place that his duty to party organization or programme takes rank. All these three loyalties should be observed, but there in no doubt of the order in which they stand under any healthy manifestation of democracy."

So, to paraphrase, Country first, Constituents second, Party third.

So you think that if Christian Wakeford had stood as a Labour candidate he'd have got elected?  ???

It's possible seeing as he has a slim majority of 400 or so votes, but he has been a Tory councillor for years....

I voted for Chris Loder as my MP because he was the Tory candidate and he wouldn't have got my vote if he'd been the Labour, LibDem or Monster Raving Loony candidate.  :P

Be interesting at the next election if Labour allow him to stand as their candidate.  His defection is proving controversial with the Labour faithful!  ;)
