I suppose the difference was, she knew she had been to a party, Bojo, probably doesn't think its a party unless he's got lucky.

The problem is de Pfeffel only allows one reporter to ask the questions for all media outlets. I guess he can’t manage multiple reporters asking questions which when you listen to his performance today makes sense because he just dug a deeper hole.
She may not be squeaky clean but you would think the man who supposedly set the restrictions would know if he was breaking them without being told.

Just stop it with the whataboutery.

I think someone should tell Sunak that if you are rushing out of an interview take the microphone off because it just increases the belief that you are avoiding questions.

It's fair to say that many of the people fined or sacked for breaching covid rules weren't specifically told that they would be in breach of the rules either.
EVERYONE was/is supposed to keep up with the changes, any you would think the guy at "party central" would know what was what.
Mind you its "just his way" and "he's always been like that"

Ironic that a few weeks ago he was babbling about Peppa Pig and now she's out for revenge, in a "pork pie plot". Poor Peppa but, worth the sacrifice

He obviously did not watch or had input on the press conference held at 1700hrs on the same day which reiterated the rules they were breaking.

Saying "nobody told me" is pretty breathtaking.

His lack of shame or contrition is breath taking.
Angela Rayner had it right, load of scumbags these tories.

Looks like this bunch of crooks are nearing the end.
Unless you live in a particular bit of Manchester you like me have probably never heard of the Conservative Will Wragg MP before.
But he just confirmed what we knew for quite a while they were already doing to Labour constituencies. Namely he was told by the government whips that if he didn't support Johnson remaining as Prime Minister they would start to pull funding of public money being spent in his constituency.
Corrupt to the very core.

The story in the Mail regarding the PM’s daughter and her ill health appears unusual because the media do not publish stories relating to their families without the parents authorisation.

Distract, distract, distract is the current approach. The change in Covid rules announced yesterday, earlier than intended, that leaked story. Anything to blunt the headlines.
There will be some bluff and bluster culture war stuff imminently I reckon - something about national anthems or flags or "wokeness". Maybe they'll go after people they want others to hate - refugees or Asians or trans perhaps.

We're going to have to put up with a lot of this before the regime is pushed out of office.

What a load of nonsense. The issue of the completed report will be the only defining event of whether he stays or goes. The BBC, Covid being lifted.......will have absolutely no bearing on what happens post the reports issue. You're whipping yourself up into an unnecessary frenzy, just sit back and relax for a week and we will see what is said and what the actions are.

LOL @ the TDL leaping into action to pretend that the report is going to make a difference and thus giving them something to hold onto when it is released and turns out to be a whitewash


Even most Tory MPs aren't that dumb to try and carry that amount of water for the Dear Leader.

Let it happen, then make judgment. It might turn out to be the killer punch and if so you will feel let down that it wasn't the predicted whitewash. Just relax.

LOL.

Let us not forget she is a government employee and she reports to de Pfeffel who decides what action to take. I bet he uses the time he receives the report to it being published to work on any defence. The system is set up because it was never anticipated that someone with de Pfeffel morals would be the PM.

I'll bet the nights fly by in your house

Why because I back what I believe rather than someone who stays at home moaning rather than doing something about it.

So Sue Gray has found the incriminating email about Boris’s Party , and Cummins is giving his evidence to her.



Who is the liar?

Lyin Boris or Cummins ?

To chissitt & Scarlet Pimpernell - It would be great if this thread could stay on topic and not go the way of the last Brexit thread.

I am more than happy to stay on topic and had been but I was just replying to a post aimed at me.

It’ll just be a list of facts, which are already widely known and even accepted.

There’ll be no judgement or verdict and very little interpretation because that is beyond the remit of the report. Martin Reynolds might get a ‘poor judgement’. It might mention the Crown Estate defence to ward off any possible criminal investigation but I can’t see it being given prominence, given its medical and moral irrelevance. Whatever, Johnson will pretend he’s been exonerated, like Trump did with the Mueller report, and the Tory MPs can decide if they want to walk the path taken by the US Republicans, as an adjunct one soulless man’s bloated ego.

I don’t need to wait for that. It’s more about buying time for something to pop up and save. War in Ukraine or the like… it doesn’t really matter, the only thing that matters to Big Dog is Big Dog.

Let's wait and see. Or has this become the 'told you so' thread. Just relax, let "de Pfeffel"

stew on it. Yawn.

Oh, you're such a tease.
Lets face it, these kind of "reports" are usually carried out so that the PM can take decisive action.
As Judge and Jury, Bojo is hardly likely to appear on TV saying "it's a fair cop Guv, I'll step down".
Far more likely that one or more of his staff will have to take the walk of shame (again) and Bojo will laugh things off (again).

His record of taking responsibility for his actions isn't great, is it.?

I see de Pfeffel is instructing schools to follow the new Covid rules. I guess he still doesn’t understand that despite his denial very few people are going to take any notice. The requirement not to wear mask in schools for example should really coincide with the end to isolation because all that will happen is that cases will increase, teachers will be isolating and classes will be sent home.
I suppose when you are making decisions based on self preservation that logic goes out of the window.
