Peter Hitchens' Half Hour: “Boris Johnson Is Too Big A Star To Be Written Out The Soap Opera”
Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that he is stepping down as an MP with immediate effect after an investigation into the ‘partygate’ scandal carried out by the Privileges Committee.
TalkTV’s Mike Graham is joined by Mail on Sunday columnist Peter Hitchens to discuss the former Prime Minister’s decision to resign as an MP, along with the week’s biggest stories.

Mike should be quiet, when Peter is on. I only KZread these segments just to listen to Peter. I don't listen to Mike's show at all, i find the Mike's views juvenile. No thought behind what he says. Like a tabloid newspaper.

@@colofsco1 , for all of Mike's shortcomings, he's fairly affable and jovial, and there's some times, albeit infrequent, where he can make even Hitchens laugh. However, it's the nature of the show isn't suited to discussing serious topics in depth.

Boris may have a large and sometimes ebullient personality, but his defects have proven to be too great, and damaging to the country. People observed his antics as PM, and changed their minds accordingly.

But are other politicians any better? I don't really see any significant difference between all senior politicians in terms of policy or integrity. Sunak is all about managed decline. Starmer changes policy every other week. Sturgeon is under investigation with allegations much more serious than anything Boris has ever committed.

I wont vote for him, even if he does join up with Farrage which would probably be a big mistake made by Farrage.
Mike (The Plank) Graham's definition of the word "star" is a very curious one!
If Johnson can get fools to vote him to political office again then we deserve what we get. Democracy is brilliant.
Trouble is, politics isn't supposed to be a soap opera. It's a serious business that affects all of us - and Johnson isn't a serious politician.

I have yet to meet someone who thinks that Brexit was a good thing for the UK. That was the one thing BJ got done and it seems to be terrible. I'm sure there's more, but that's the biggest thing I have seen from across the pond.
Johnson has it. He brings excitement, but as hard as I try, I don’t understand why. But having Peter discuss Johnson is a total waste of reasonable intellect.
'Independant Sage' is a ludicrous organization

Could he? Only with a new haircut.
I was joyous when he got into office as PM and thought he would change things for the better even talking to people who worked with him who said he would be a horrible leader i shrugged it off and still had no doubt in him. After everything that has happened my opinion has completely changed, I still like the man but he is no leader. Couldnt care much about his antics in regards to "party-gate" etc but my biggest gripe with him is he was a soft liberal "conservative"

Re Ukraine- Russia situation. Neither side is strong enough to inflict decisive defeat on the other. The war will drag on until war weariness in either/both country/countries makes continuing the fight impossible. Then, some sort of messy compromise will be reached, probably involving Russia keeping some of the territory she has occupied since 2014. Very sad but i see no other outcome. The best Ukraine can hope for is a country with slightly less territory buttressed by solid guarantees from western powers. Some sort of pride salvaged on both sides and countless lives saved.

You are very much mistaken. The Russians are systematically destroying the Ukrainian armed forces using artillery, missiles and drones etc. To achieve this, very little actual movement on the map is necessary, as the Ukrainians come to them. The Russians will advance once they have defeated Ukraine in detail.

Like a fad, the muppets of Great Britain won't learn a thing, and will fall for the next dazzling charlatan to come along, just as they've done time and again. Britain remained free in part because it had a class that could think and challenge when really necessary, and the freedom of expression which permitted it. Now we have no class that is well educated or can think or see beyond their noses, and that doesn't want free expression. RIP one of the greatest civilisations in history. This is no joke, although there was no golden age, once our freedom and prosperity has completely disappeared, history may look back and wonder how an advanced culture screw things up so badly. Then again, with the way things are going, probably not.
We knew what Johnson was like when he was elected PM. Not a fan but compared to the rest of the political nonentities-all parties included-still best unfortunately

UK desperately needs a radical government to stop the decline. Abolish or democratise the House of Horrors( lords), deal with massive fee paying private schools, make the voting system reflect the will of the people, make merit rather than privilege the criteria for advancement, abolish the aristocracy( the Middle Ages is long over.) Then wait for a 2nd and 3rd term to finish the work.
