Rees-Mogg...that's quite disturbing!

 

[Bry Nylon]

His next audience with the Queen will be a bit awkward, unless it is to inform her of his desire to resign as her Prime Minister

No wonder the Sun aren’t really embracing the lockdown Parties scandal:

“The atmosphere in Downing Street that Friday evening, however, was quite different. Advisers and civil servants gathered after work for two separate events to mark the departure of two colleagues.

One was James Slack, Mr Johnson’s director of communications. He had served two Tory prime ministers, a rare carry-over from the Theresa May days, but was leaving after four years to become deputy editor at The Sun newspaper. The other was one of Mr Johnson’s personal photographers.” Telegraph.

C***s.

Now Simon Hoare MP is saying that Raab was at the garden BYOB party.

Wasn’t the Sun also said to have had their own, more boisterous party on the same night of the first Downing Street party.

This is the sort of shit they are pumping out on their website:

“WE asked Sun readers on our Facebook page: Should Boris Johnson resign over the Downing Street parties? Surprisingly they were split 50/50.”

“LINDA: No. He’s done a very good job. Of course, he made mistakes but he’s done his best and that’s all any of us can ask of him.


JUNE: No. Poor man can’t do right whatever he does.” The Scum

And let's not forget, although it is quite a while since a tory campaign in East London used the slogan:

'If you want a n*gg*r for a neighbour, vote Labour',

... they did. That trumps anything currently from the mad militants.

(A pedant writes) That was in Smethwick, Birmingham in the 1964 election when Peter Griffiths defeated Patrick Gordon Walker, a result that went against the national trend. There's some doubt as to whether the Tories actually coined the slogan, although they certainly exploited it.

It's been reported in Private Eye. They had an internal investigation to be fair, but are obviously quite happy to keep it out of the er.. public eye.

Technically he didn't. He said the party was to welcome back Boris Johnson (after being very ill) and thank Raab for stepping in.

Raab has denied being there and has made it clear "he wasn't invited"

I'll miss Raab..... in a way.

You must have a cast iron constitution, taking in that crap and not being nauseous.

Hope all's well with you

30 letters of no confidence gone in so far. One interestingly from Irish passport expert and well known potato farmer Andrew Bridgen.

It's quite a high bar to set that an MP/PM has to go only if they broke the law.

I've privately and reluctantly doubted the law was broken anyway because it didn't account for industries with a drinking culture in the workplace and probably Government buildings were exempt anyway.

However he is very badly damaged. If he carries on he will get mullered in the local elections.

I would put money on him not standing at the next general election.

However it ends for the nation (probably just m'eh).....he's ****ed up his own legacy, which is pretty funny. I'll be interested to find out whether this is more or less important to him than his venality and his cock. I suspect the answer is less, but we shall probably never know

If he leaves office with a Ronaldo wink, though, that will provide the answer.

As for his supporters, shame on you. You are a disgrace.

True. However, coupled with his entire response/defense thus far being “wait for the results of the inquiry” it’s my contention that he won’t be resigning over these parties. Being ousted by his party is still an option obviously.

He’ll hide away until the results are published. Emerge next Friday and say the matter is dealt with. End of story as far as he’s concerned.
