Seems like some staffers have suddenly remembered they had some undeleted images...🤩

One of the reports that didn't get as much attention as those covering specifics events was the claim that at a time when all indoor socialising was banned Downing St staff held after-work 'wine-time Fridays' throughout the pandemic, with the prime minister regularly in attendance and encouraging those present to let of steam. If that is proved, especially with photographs, then he can prepare to spend more time with his family, with his successor having the pleasure of regarding the Lulu Lyttle wallpaper...

That's funny I don't remember it working that way when Teresa May stepped down... ???

This could be entertaining...

Angela might have to turn to her old friend, Tony Blair, for the answer to this conundrum as Blair was interviewed twice by the Met when PM over the cash for honours scandal. ps. Blair didn't resign over the affair.

Aaah, the king of whataboutery returns.

Not even whataboutery. More like 'comeupwithafactuallyfalsecomparisonandhopeno-onenoticesitstotalirrelevancery'. Blair was interviewed as a witness. The likelihood is Johnson will be interviewed as a suspect. Even the Daily Mail knows enough to keep on stressing the significant difference.

I noted something like that a few days ago. As Johnson's Brexit addled government totters in a cesspit of sleaze and lies many of its Brexity 'supporters' now show their true colours  - whether it be 'Britain First' or a denial that Biden won the US elections. 

Simply Johnson and Brexit was built upon foundations of myths and lies and not surprisingly its now collapsing in on itself with myths and lies. I can only surmise that its few remaining supporters like being lied to and taken for fools.

There is another point, which I haven't seen made so far. There have been all too believable reports that Downing St staffers have been withholding info from Gray, and even perhaps deleting images, for fear of losing their jobs. It is one thing to do that with Gray but quite another when it is a criminal investigation by the police.

I see The Guardian is now making this point:

Former No 10 staffers told the Guardian that the police inquiry will uncover evidence which has not yet been submitted to Gray. One senior Tory said the Scotland Yard inquiry was a “different ballgame”, adding: “Officials who don’t tell Sue Gray the whole truth will not hold back from the cops.”

In other words even if BoJo the Clown survives the Gray report, which is unlikely (especially if damning new images emerge) but possible, he is still far from out of the woods.

The other argument being made (forcibly by the Mail now Dacre is back there) is that this is a storm in  a teacup when there are serious matters (such as Ukraine) to be dealt with.

Except that Partygate symbolises how BoJo is not only morally corrupt but staggeringly incompetent to boot. He doesn't even have the brains to break the covid rules so no-one could find out. And that incompetence runs right through his government. Just one example is the billions lost to corporate fraud by companies supposedly involved in covid measures.

Let's be honest - not only is Johnson a contemptible toe-rag clear for all to see but the yobbos on the Tory benches yelling their support are now equally complicit in this government without any standards of behaviour or shame. Unthinking minions

Get rid of the lot asap.

Boris's jibe to Keir Starmer "he's a lawyer, not a leader" seems pretty rich given Boris's total lack of leadership and the fact that Boris could do with a good lawyer 😛

I did wonder if Starmer was giving Johnson some much needed practice in answering a QC.

The PM's spokesman now using semantics to try to get out of this. The charge was that Johnson intervened to get the animals out.  So:

Asked at the post-PMQs lobby briefing about the latest revelations, the prime minister’s spokesman said: “It remains the case that the PM didn’t instruct officials to take any particular course of action.”

No one is saying he did order a particular course of action. He is hardly a details man, after all.  All he had to say was 'Do something.'

The c**** lips moved that’s normally a clue that he lied. It seems the email has been leaked that actually has Johnson personally authorising it. Again he has lied to and misled the house.
If you were fighting or working for the British abroad would you trust this clown if things went wrong ?

Even Gavin Barwell is a lefty nowadays.😀

What's hotter, the fire in Boris Johnson's pants from all that lying or that pumpkin pie Sharon Weiss complained about?

[Herman 9,779]

I had to look up Sharon Weiss.😀 In the end it's still Bozo's pants.

Apparently he has been telling Tory MPs he has been in worse scrapes than this and got out of them, as if this is some Bertie Wooster  jape.

'Bertie' always had Jeeves although Wooster is quite a good character likeness to Johnson's comical antics.

Its time we ended this warlock hunt and got on with the real things that matter to the loyal brexiteers.

Like tearing up an  agreement that people still say is different to Mays. Like sticking our nose into US politics again by talking up Ukraine, something even the Ukraine Government doesn't want. Like not answering whether he is holding back reversing the NI rise until the day after the Gray report is published. Like not cuttting duty on fuel to help people, especially in rural areas who tend to have longer distances to go to work. And have to use their own transport because public transport has gone and the subsidies are being spent on HS2, which is now so much over budget they are cutting back its original route.

[keelansgrandad 6,679]

And I forgot to add, none of which Labour could have done because they have a lawyer not a leader.

Shame we don't have a liar. Well maybe Blair is still a member.

Or the WMD 15 minutes from our shores. 

The point being, they all lie when it suits them. Nothing new here.

Hmm, not sure about that. I'll wait for the Sue Gray report.
