Just reading that Gove's wife said Johnson had been forced to get rid of Theresa May's furniture from John Lewis as the PM couldn't be expected to live "in a skip". :rolleyes:Quote:

The best thing about this whole story is it reveals the truth that Class really matters. Even though we are constantly told it doesn’t.Quote:

An upper class person would rather have an old piece of furniture with holes in it than John Lewis furniture. And all this is important because it breaks the fantasy that Boris is ‘One of Us’, to a particular breed of mostly English voters. He just isn’t. He’s in the top 0.25% or thereabouts.
Classic. Personalise the story. Make it about an ‘extravagant wife’. Give a wee kick to the ex wife fleecing him for extra misogyny points. Encourage your reader to empathise with Boris, even as he gets taken down. ‘My wife’s the same, she always spends too much’. Don’t ask the big questions.Quote:

The members might not want him though. Sunak is very popular and might sneak it.Quote:

It could also be Cummings briefing against CarrieSymonds. No love lost there.Quote:

In reality the Arcuri stories show that he's pretty shameless so is more likely to just brass this latest distraction out. Better than talking about snouts in troughs and avoidable Covid deaths on his watch.

An astonishing post on the readers comments underneath:Quote:

Agreed. I can't think about it too much in that context as it turns my stomach.Quote:

I saw his personal life compared to that of Idi Amin. There are other similarities as well.Quote:

Good Law Project is today able to reveal the names of four more companies awarded contracts through the VIP lane: Clandeboye Agencies, P14 Medical, Luxe Lifestyle and Meller Designs.
- P14 Medical, run by a Tory councillor and donor, was awarded £276m in PPE contracts.
- Meller Designs, run by David Meller a large Tory donor and trustee of the rightwing lobby group Policy Exchange, was given more than £160m in PPE contracts.
- Luxe Lifestyle was awarded a £26m contract despite appearing to be insolvent and without any employees.
- And Clandeboye Agencies whose registered trade on Companies House is “wholesale of sugar, chocolate and sugar confectionery” was awarded £108m in PPE contracts (see page 73 and following). We should say that the Government says Clandeboye was not in the VIP lane – but its own internal documents tell a different story.
The existing suppliers and manufacturers must be livid, some were put on the ignore list by whoever was making the decisions to award the contracts as they did.Quote:

Surely to be eligible to be PM you have to be financially stable? If BJ’s are in such a mess then what else is getting slipped in to his pocket for a favour here and there?
Not tories but there chums the dup about to make a crackpot ******** religious nutter their leader. Some of his best bits, wonder how old the giants causeway will be on their website

What makes him a "religious nutter"? Or do you just mean he's a nutter who happens to be religious?Quote:
