National News Boris Johnson - Ousted Former PM

[Sheik djibouti]

Time for this classic I think...

With a touch of this:



And sprinkling of this:

 

[Wallop]

Downing Street was having in person leaving parties when the rest of the population couldn't see loved ones who were leaving them (i.e dying).

Says it all really.

I actually reckon Essex has a bet on at Conservative Home to see who can be the last Tory standing, still defending Boris and the activities at No10.

C'mon @Essexyellows - what's the wager worth

Situation 1 - people who had to were working together.

Situation 2 - hospitals were, and in some cases still are, mitigating risk to staff, patients, and the public by reducing interactions and exposure.

Whilst it was nowhere near ideal those were the practicalities and realities.

It is incomprehensible to me that someone could still defend this?! They went to the Downing Street basement, not an office, drank copious amounts of alcohol, they better bloody not be doing this while working, and danced the night away until the early hours of the morning, certainly not a work activity. They PARTIED. I couldn't give a flying f**k if they had been working together all day, if the staff at my local Tesco, who let's be honest deserved the opportunity to party, had gone round one of the workers houses after work and partied they would have been fired and it would have been seen as a scandal. So why is it ok for Boris and his mates to do it?

The only reality here is that a poor old woman lost her husband of several decades and had to sit alone at his funeral within hours of Boris and his mates strutting their stuff to Dancing Queen. It's a complete and utter shameful disgrace and to say it is anything but is to be completely blinded by bullshit political bias.

I wouldn't be at all surprised that when Boris trudges off to the Palace to offer his resignation that Liz turns around and kicks him square in the balls.

I'm sure there's plenty of bereaved families that would like to do the same.

 

[ZeroTheHero]

I do wonder if the people defending the actions of Number 10 over this would be being quite so forgiving if the government was not the party they prefer...

 

[Oslernorth]

But if he goes and we get a new leader who turns things around from the mess we’re in then my vote will return.
But if he goes and the same trajectory is followed I won’t vote until the manifest is changed for the better.

The Tories and Boris have backed themselves into such a huge hole over Brexit in particular, it’s difficult to see how they can change tact. They’ve been making claims and promises left right and centre that are simply impossible to deliver.

They will have to continue to follow the same trajectory unless they face up to some of the realities. But doing so will not win support from the Right of the party and will haemorrhage votes to the latest Farage Party.

I’m not sure the Tory party can really recover.

I'm pretty sure she had someone to do that for her.

LOL - I'm sure she does, but on this occasion I am sure she would like the satisfaction herself!

 

[Sarge]

I'm pretty sure she had someone to do that for her.

think she may make an exceptition for her own gratification in this case

 

[Sheik djibouti]

And now Liz Truss is telling people they need to move on

Nobody's stopping you Liz - the exit is right behind you!

I mean, is she SERIOUSLY the best the Tories have to offer??

OH.MY.DAYS

Back to the day job.....

UK economy above pre-Covid levels in November

Faster than expected growth meant the economy was 0.7% larger than in February 2020, official figures show.

www.bbc.co.uk

Google will spend £730m to 'reinvigorate' its UK offices

The tech giant is expanding UK staff capacity by 50% and wants to "reinvigorate" the work environment.

www.bbc.co.uk

And.....

Downing Street parties: Will two Tory tribes go to war with the PM?

It isn't just the latest Conservative intake who are worried about Boris Johnson's leadership.

www.bbc.co.uk

"One winner of a Red Wall seat told me: "I have an inbox like many colleagues - yes, the usual lefty detractors, but there is a considerable amount of criticism from Conservative voters."


Bit like here really.
