Maybe he could share a cell with Trump.

If WE were THEM...Donald Trump , Most all of his Administration & Most all of Congressional Republicans , including Moscow Mitch , would be in Jail/Prison AS WE SPEAK !!!!!..The Law is The Law is The Law , except for when it's not the The People But the Public Servant's at issue

Yet Trump commits crimes and isn't punished.

Wish USA followed The Law...and sent Trump to prison!

Seems kind of strange, every person Trump claims to be a great guy is now either in prison or headed that way.

best thought of the day

Will prison barbers be able to keep up that ridiculous haircut?

Now do trump.

Cool, I could do with a laugh

Major doubt there.

You shall pay for that.!!

Boris. Since you are certain the majority of citizens are on board with Brexit then conduct another referendum. The previous one was an ambush. Plus you were arguing both sides. Hard to be wrong. Don’t be a chicken. Do it! Once and for all.

Oh boy what he was thinking. I am sure he has adviser & should be guiding not to play with wild animal to show he is macho

Anyone who takes a picture with Netanyahu suddenly gets into trouble!

Go ahead, turn him into a Gandhi...

Parliament holds people accountable...? Congress....🤔

that would be nice

Good, send Boris Johnson to prison. Let’s do Trump next.

Sooooooo, in the little bit he has been PM and attempted to do things his way, he has already been put on jail notice, where as realDonaldTrump clown has broken every law and every amendment in the constitution and still no one says anything. What's wrong with this picture?

Same people covering Trump are doing the same for Boris. Same sad results.

Delicious

'No one could have known Brexit would be so hard' -Boris and Trump during a phone conversation (probably)

How low can you get? It's incredibly sad to witness the terrible state of British politics right now. To even suggest this is quite extraordinary. Yet Downing ST isn't putting an end to this story. Absloutely mad!

Isn’t sad that the USA does not have GOP Congress men and women who put country before party. The UK seems to have that along with actual laws that apply to the Prime Minister.

Teresa May at home..

Hitler also started his career in prison.

Imagine throwing lawbreakers in jail. Cc: SpeakerPelosi
