Boris Johnson said in 2004 that he would eat his ID at a polling station in protest if the law ever required it.
In 2022, he passed a law requiring ID to vote and dismissed criticism it would stop people voting.
In 2024, he forgot his ID when trying to vote and was turned away.
. Maybe that's why he didn't have it with him! He rammed it into his gaping maw! Nom nom.

I do love the labour party, they have more money than the Torys.
Lord Sainsbury worth £400m
Labour peer and ex-minister, though previously in the SDP. His fortune is mainly (£350m) in shares in the family supermarket business. He was a big donor to the Labour Party under Brown, but now channels his money into Progress.
Lord Grantchester worth £80m
Labour peer. Inherited much of the Littlewoods football pools and retailing fortune. He owns extensive property in Cheshire, Dumfries and Galloway, Westminster, Yorkshire and Dallas, Texas.
Lord Drayson worth £75m
Labour peer and ex-minister. Made his fortune in pharmaceuticals. Since losing his ministerial post (defence procurement), in 2010, he has immersed himself in motor sports.
Tony Blair worth £30m
Ex Labour prime minister. Has made his fortune more quickly than the rest, from dispensing advice to companies, sovereign wealth funds and governments (including Kuwait and Kazakhstan), and employs about 150 staff at his Mayfair HQ. He can earn up to £200,000 for making a speech to top up his £70,000 prime ministerial pension and pay the running costs of his valuable property portfolio.
Margaret Hodge worth £18m
Labour MP, former minister and currently a select committee chair. Her fortune isn largely her inherited stake in the steel trading company founded by her German Jewish refugee father, Hans Oppenheimer.
Shaun Woodward worth £15m
One-time Tory turned Labour MP and cabinet minister. What the Times treat as his wealth is really his wife’s inheritance (she’s another Sainsbury, her father being ex-Tory MP, Tim Sainsbury) topped up by some astute moves in the property market, having recently sold homes in St James’s and New York for £5.7m and £11.5m respectively, leaving them with just six properties (in the Alps, Mustique, the south of France, Cirencester, a London flat and St Helens – the constituency).
Geoffrey Robinson worth £10m
Former Paymaster General and still a Labour MP. Former CEO of Jaguar cars and still a non-executive director of Paiton Engineering. His fortune is not really derived from his buisness interests many of which the Times describes as failures although he, no doubt, never expected to make anything out of either the New Statesman or Coventry FC, nor from the £373,000 loan to Peter Mandelson which cost him his ministerial career. He inherited £12m from Belgian entrepreneur, Joska Bourgeois, which is what enables him to own 168 acres in Tuscany, a Park Lane penthouse and “one of Surrey’s finest houses” – a Lutyens mansion in 50 acres.
Rats attempting to flee sinking ship trampled underfoot by Tory MPs
Rats have today complained of Tory MPs ignoring the recognised order of things and trampling over them in order to flee their sinking ship.
With Nadhim Zahawi the latest high-profile Tory to jump ship rather than be pushed by the electorate, rats everywhere have suggested it’s time to update the classic idiom.
Rat Ray Cyst told us, “For centuries, us rats have been used as the go-to turn-of-phrase when people begin abandoning a failing enterprise, but honestly, we can’t hold a candle to these Tories.
“I’ve lost two good friends this week alone, trampled under the feet or Tory MPs who clearly can’t wait to abandon their sinking party. And Natalie Elphicke wears heels – it was not a nice way to go.
“That Nadhim Zahawi fella came storming through earlier, could get off the ship quick enough. Not even so much as a glance backwards towards the carnage he was leaving behind. Only interested in saving his own skin and avoiding being taken down with the ship.
“Sunak? Oh yeah, he’s still at the wheel, smiling like a simpleton and seemingly unaware the bow of his ship is now pointed 45 degrees in the air with most decks underwater.
“I suspect he’ll go down with it, and then find a way to blame everyone else.” TY@NT
The root cause of that is rabbit or bird. One's got inside clean water plant and died. Nothing to do with the Tory's.
A contractor just left a hatch open.
Fecal contamination and parasites in our tap water, broken NHS, s.hit in our rivers & seas, and bodies rotting in our hospitals.
But, low and behold, after fourteen years in power, the Tory government in its c.unting wisdom thinks that banning rainbow lanyards under the guise of ‘common sense’ is the most important way forward.
F.ucking hell.
Get these useless, thieving, lying, sociopathic Tory c.unts out.
