National News Boris Johnson - Ousted Former PM

[bazzer9461]

Not sure a leak of conversations or unsecure communications through unofficial channels with no appropriate official security markings, would be a criminal offence. It may be a breach of the Civil Service code of conduct, which SPADs including Dommy would've be bound by, but as such no more than a internal disciplinary matter, unless an issue of National Security was involved....

Funnily enough, the CS code of conduct does cover whistleblowing.....and actively encourages it, particularly where the commission of a criminal act is concerned

Looks like he's done his duty for queens and country on that measure

Wonder if similar would be done by others no matter what party they represent.

I would hope so.

What I’m totally pissed of about and yes as it’s known I am a Tory supporter, is he won the election on an 89 seat majority I never expected that but I would say now if he held an election this year he would lose which would be embarrassing to say the least.

Just read this horror show from You GOv on what people think of Boris:

https://yougov.co.uk/topics/politics/explore/public_figure/Boris_Johnson?content=trackers

And most of these only go up to the end of December, so will be far, far worse now.

And these on the Tories as a whole are not much better....(and certainly worse now): https://yougov.co.uk/topics/politics/explore/political_party/Conservative_Party?content=trackers

Ouch!

@Essexyellows - you were claiming the parties that were revealed last night were work gatherings and not parties yet No.10 has formally apologised to the Queen for holding them. Why would they do this if they're above board and not parties?

Downing Street apologises to Queen over lockdown parties

Two staff get-togethers took place in April last year, the night before Prince Philip's funeral.

They will have apologised for the perception and HMQ was probably understanding of it.

I might have explained the unique situation surrounding Downing Street and its environs several times.
Its not a "normal" office.
Its not a "normal" home.
Its far more fluid.

If the folk who were working there, as they had to, picked up a glass of wine rather than water where is the "difference"?

They weren`t gathering or partying as you will discover when the report is released.

Pray it is the same when the crosses go on the ballot papers.

A clue: It won`t be.

Johnson, apparently, not following his own Govt's guidance again:

Sure is. Cheers @Essexyellows, you keep setting them up, I'll keep hammering them over cow corner

You're right, it won't be.

It could be much worse.

Especially as the Tories desperately flail around over the next two years trying to convince everyone they're credible while dealing with the cost of living crisis, ongoing Brexit and trade deal shitfest, ongoing crisis in health and social care, worsening crisis in education, transport, environment.

And all that before we even begin to think about the con that is levelling up.

And not even mentioning the drip, drip, drip of continuing revelations that will likely continue for a good while yet.

Yep, Liz or Rishi have really got their work cut out (providing they know the difference between work and a party, which you and most Tories demonstrably don't [emoji6])

I imagine your neighbours were trying that line after the two hats turned up on your request fella

“I apologise if you ‘perceive’ drunken people being here on a Friday night outside work hours as a party but we work from home (as instructed by HMG) and so this is a networking event and for the avoidance of doubt those car keys are in the bowl to avoid drink driving”

^ Looks like a work event to me but I can’t comment until sue gray has undertaken her not in any way compromised investigation

To which the Queen will reply I've had 50 effing PMs and this sorta shite has never happened before what the fucks going on goldilocks

 

[mooro]

I'll never forgive him for 'Falling in love with you' which the inbreds like to belt out when they are beating us, bloody UB40. Not that I've heard it for quite a few years now

Dammit, i was going to go with the having grounds to charge Ali Campbell for working while being paid for his UB40 line.....

Downing Street parties: Number 10 doesn't deny staff held 'wine-time Fridays' throughout COVID restrictions

In fresh allegations in the "partygate" scandal engulfing the prime minister, it is alleged that a weekly "wine-time Fridays" event was scheduled into the electronic calendars of around 50 staff in Number 10 between 4pm and 7pm throughout the COVID pandemic.

That headline is offensive to dogs.

Whatever they could find, I hard Alastair Campbell and his bullshit over the gulf war and thought there couldn’t be worse but along comes this lying t**t ie having to check his eyesight was good enough with a 30 mile round trip to Barnard castle to see if he could drive 260 miles. He should have been sacked then.

Fair play for the foresight. I actually believed the Government about WMDs. Obviously now know there weren’t any, Although I do still believe the Government acted on what they believed to be true at the time. I’m on the fence to whether I can stretch that to George Bush’s administration

That’s just epic.
Classic English humour.
