To be fair, he's got to spend at least a few days with them before never bothering to see them again.

[lord bunberry]

I see they have set up an internal investigation into the party last year. This will allow them to use the classic line “I don’t want to prejudice an ongoing enquiry” and dodge any questions on this. You’ve got to hand it to them, it’s textbook stuff, the enquiry will exonerate everyone and all will be forgotten.

All this talk of ‘gatherings’ instead of ‘parties’ makes me chuckle.

A few years ago we went away for the weekend and left our 18yo at home alone, with the strict instruction that there was to be No Parties. She agreed. Came back on the Monday to broken light fittings, smashed bathroom sink, fagburns on the carpet. She said ‘but it wasn’t a party, it was a ‘gathering’.

Maybe she’s running an ‘excuses school’ and has influenced the government 8 years later :dunno:

It's definitely Raaabian misogyny, as Johnson discriminated against Doyle by accepting Stratton's resignation and not Doyle's. Misogyny in Dorries's sense, where a man does something she doesn't like, hasn't occurred because she likes everything that Johnson does.

A Conservative MP pleaded with a fixer to help him secure a well-paid second job with a Saudi company or other work relating to the Middle East, at one point saying he needed money to pay school fees.
Daniel Kawczynski’s repeated pleas for lucrative employment – revealed in a series of WhatsApp messages seen by the Guardian – show him citing his pro-Saudi stance in parliament as part of an attempt to get paid work from a businessman.

Kawczynski arranged to host one potential Saudi employer in parliament, offering him a tour of the House of Commons and a dinner in the MPs’ private dining room. He also arranged to meet the fixer in his parliamentary office to discuss a project.

It's a bit of a double edged sword.

On the one hand I can't think of many worse to lead us through a rocky couple of months. When we need decisive action, we will get dither, delay and u turns.

The flip side is the best opportunity to get rid of the Tories at the next election is with Johnson still in the hot seat. It seems the middle ground, small c conservatives are starting to come to their senses and have realised the joke has ceased to be funny. If he goes they might rustle up someone competent from somewhere.

The last part could be a long shot though. Rory Stewart would have frightened me but he's long gone. Sunak retains a bit of popularity due to furlough and so on. However the rest are just a **** show. Truss is as big a flip flopper as Johnson, Raab has all the charm and charisma of a lamp post, I don't believe that anyone could name a single redeeming feature Gove has and Harold Shipman would score higher in an empathy test than Patel.

Johnson thinks he's Churchill but the politician from the past I'd most like to see him emulate is Profumo. High office, mired in sleaze/corruption with a hint of Russian, then disappeared completely from public life for the several decades until his death.

[neil7908]

I think that is Boris gone, but I suspect Sunak will be in and there poll numbers will rebound. I also think he'll do a much better job of at least appearing competent than Boris. That, combined with the fact that Labour still seem to be struggling in the polls mean Tory governments aren't going anywhere.

One lie and out.

He dedicated his life to charity in the East End of London afterwards. I doubt Boris has that kind of conscience.

He definitely won't be devoting himselflessly to anything, but, please, let him not be wheeled out to give his worthless opinions on stuff forevermore. Johnson pater is bad enough for that. (Unless some years from now it's to give personal reflections on conditions inside prison cells, which would be welcome.)

Maybe not the cleverest statement to say out loud that your candidate got in on a least-worst ticket rather than people voted for what was being campaigned. Farron is a bit of an Alan Partridge politician and Ed Davey will do well to keep him on the fringes of any recovery. I don't see this result as any more than a vote against rather than a vote for. The Orange Book Liberals are old style wet Tories , so it will be interesting to see the strategy that they use to try and build on this.

It's just being drip fed at the moment. Scandal, uproar, starts to calm down, boom! New picture or revelation. It's evidently being done in this way to keep the pressure on and keep him guessing. He can't lie his way out of it because he doesn't know what they do or don't have access to next.

The question is who is behind it and why? With the exception of the Express even the right wing press are pushing the anti Johnson rhetoric now and want him gone. That's worrying as they won't want some cuddly type moving them back towards the centre as his replacement.

Don't think Johnson'll be bothered. Was the squeeze, not him, that fell out with Cummings (so not his fault) and, anyway, loads of work meetings finish with karaoke.

it's the foodbank photoshoots that really get me, always appear to be smiling 'customers' when the Tory politicians do their PR shoots, Tory politicians must p@ss themselves laughing at the local wine and cheese meetings with how gullible the working class public is, i cringe that these customers are either too thick to realise or just don't care that the 5th/6th richest world economy has over 1k foodbanks in the damn first place, started by a labour government i believe though the Tories took the amount to disgraceful levels, and they're proud of that

“All contracts awarded during the pandemic were done so in line with procurement regulations and all government spending is routinely published - ensuring value for money for hard working taxpayers and full transparency for scrutiny.”

You have to remember that the usual procurement regulations were suspended (through a Parliamentary vote) because of the pandemic, and so it’s pretty easy to say regulations were followed when there weren’t actually regulations in place.

The transparency and scrutiny spiel afterwards actually means nothing, because even if it was dodgy (and you won’t be allowed to use the word dodgy in Parliament) no regulations would have been broken and therefore no case to answer.

That’s why this spiel will be rolled out, rather than actually addressing the specifics.

They said it was a rush at the end of the film to get out before the anthem came on as you were expected to stand and salute for the duration.

Anyway, sit down meal with loads of people crowded in and it was pretty stuff and so I took my jacket off. SILENCE BROKE OUT IMMEDIATELY. my mate hisses get your jacket on we haven’t toasted the queen yet. I put my jacket on and the incident was forgotten

After the meal I then became under intense pressure to join up and was told it was easy as long as I swore allegiance to the queen and believed in god. I was too scared to say I couldn’t fulfil either criteria and was glad when I was able to leave

That's the Ireland that seems to be part of Europe.

I remember being in the Thornton British Legion and somebody asked what happened to the end of night tune. Old boy said not in here we don't.

I was lured into Billy's Bar in Prestonpans by a young lady I was courting back in the mid 80's. I refused to stand up for the national anthem at the end of the night which caused a bit of a carfuffle inside and out. Luckily for me nobody messed with big Wilma (RIP).

The Port o’ Leith used to always finish the night with Sunshine on Leith with folk up dancing on the bar and tables. It was utter glorious mayhem even my Hearts pals would join in the drunken singsong.

I was once in a big republican bar in Ireland and there were a load of Gypsy lads in playing pool and having a drink. At the end of the night when the Irish national anthem came on, the gypsy lads carried on playing pool and didn’t pay any attention to it. It wasn’t pretty afterwards.[emoji51]

I was a serving soldier back then, can't remember ever having to stand for gstq. I did take her shilling though but had my fingers crossed at the oath of allegiance.

To be fair I have been known to belt out "away doon at Gorgie" in a drunken stupor, you can blame my Hearts supporting mother for that.

Like many who are knocking on a bit, I'm guilty of hypocrisy. I find the older me tut tutting at such behaviour but can still remember the younger me trying to provoke a pagger with some carefully chosen tune aimed at a certain audience. We all have our skeletons. :greengrin

Tory voters in South England now turning on Boris Johnson saying he "can't be taken seriously". Really? WTF took you so long?

WTF took you so long?For some it's very personal, they don't have it in them to see they might not have got what they voted for, just plain got it wrong or been conned on issues that were important to their world view.
