winkie Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Anyone know anything about the new police and crime bill going through ......should that be something to focus on, rather than having parties? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also trying to let civil servants carry the can could backfire badly, all it takes is one to go to court saying that by repeatedly attending these events BJ implicitly gave his approval for both the events and for others to attend. Confirmed by Sky News this morning... "Save Big Dog" it is . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkey Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 The only silver lining about all of this sorry episode is no politician will have the gall stand up at a lecturn lecturing the country about covid rules again. Covid is essentially over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miguel Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Yes covid is essentially over. The Germans have beaten us again despite what the custard clown wants you to believe. Bigger population and a much older one at that. Still, we've got Brexit. . . that's really gonna show those Germans a thing or two! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollover Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Tory fury grows over Partygate Boris Johnson is facing a mounting Tory backlash over Partygate today with a dozen MPs issuing public criticism of the Prime Minister as backbenchers branded Downing Street staff 'prats' and told how they have been inundated with angry emails from constituents calling for him to resign. It is just the latest in a series of damning revelations about the alleged culture of drinking and partying throughout the pandemic at Downing Street as growing calls are made for Johnson to resign, some from within his own party.

rollover Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Conservatives spend the weekend deciding the PM's fate Boris Johnson, the man once seen as electoral dynamite, is now increasingly seen as politically toxic. "People were pissed off before," one member of Johnson's government told Insider. "But now? We're not just dealing with a drip-drip of leaks — it's a raging river." "I thought the [partygate] story was dying a death, but to do that to Her Majesty — it's gone down very, very badly," a former minister told Insider. "We've got people leaving the [Conservative] party — not just people who have voted for us for the last 40 years, but people who have been members. We've got to do something." businessinsider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsieurCopperCrutch Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Just get a proper ‘man of the people’ in Number 10, Rushi.

Indian heritage (via Africa)... heir to the Indian call centre and British jobs outsourced empire... fortune made in banking... so elite he went to Winchester College (imagine learning to play cricket on the pitches it was invented on!)

rollover Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Call for probe into No 10 party ‘cover up’ Cabinet secretary Simon Case should provide “urgent” answers about “unprecedented” allegations that No 10 staff were pressured to delete evidence of illegal parties in Downing Street, Labour’s deputy leader Angela Rayner has said. Her letter to the top civil servant comes after two sources told The Independent they had been advised by a senior staff member to “clean up” their phones of anything that could “look like a party”, and follows a series of fresh revelations this week.

I am quite sure we will see our PM resign tomorrow morning. His position is untenable. His announcement speech will be very interesting. I expect some journalists have been given the nod so we may not see too many party stories in the Sunday papers. Is Rishi's job unelevenable? He will probably stay on in the short term until a brand new untainted PM is chosen which will take quite some time and a PR stunt for the Conservatives. I would guess Raab as the caretaker PM as Boris disappears from the limelight. Hope you will all be suitably surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Former postman Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) Imagine... Rory Stewart could have been leader of the conservative party.

Former postman Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Johnson has become a laughing stock in my delivery office, which is full of older Tory/brexit voting postmen who think the cons are great because Thatcher handed them a (practically) free house. It's over for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
