Highlight of the jubilee:

Watching gammon reaction to Rio Ferdinand in the jubilee honours.

Just wait until Johnson's allies discover that their hero employs three full-time photographers to record all of his public appearances.

Does this cabinet minister know what a narcissist is or just an insulting word she heard floating around?

This is worth a few minutes of your time.

Surely the Taxpayers Alliance would have something to say about this profligacy?

Oh...

Probably going by the classical Greek definition, not the modern medical one.

Having worked with a classic example of one, I can assure you it is hell.

Calling for Johnson’s arse on a plate isn’t going to win a narcissist any plaudits or career advancement in their party. I think Nadine meant sanctimonious (for putting country before party).

I think it's fairly clear what she means, she has heard the term used to describe essentially attention-seeking behaviour and that is what she is accusing Johnson's detractors of doing.

Do you think he's slipping her a length?

The pork haystack and Carrie Antionette looked thoroughly bored at the Platty Joobz ceremony today. Probably wondering how much more they have to endure before they can slip away to a Chequers booze-up.

Was Nadine there?

I see he looked like a tramp again.

I know it’s for show, or we assume but he could make an effort on occasions when it isn’t he at the centre of events.

No doubt if Starmer becomes pm, he will be criticised for wearing joggers in his morning jog.

Home Secretary Priti Patel has told Conservative MPs pushing for the prime minister to resign to "forget it" and focus on "real challenges" instead.

Writing letters of no confidence in him was a "sideshow", she said.

Fuck off.

Increasingly, yes, I rather do. Bit confusing to see Princess Nut Nuts alongside the lying crook at the Platty Joobs festivities today, though - I rather thought she was supposed to have flown the coop in order to enjoy the pleasures of Zac Goldsmith’s spam truncheon on a full-time basis.

Yet again, the Home Secretary has no idea of the concept of democracy.

She owes to where she is right now thanks to enabling Johnson's behaviour and she damn well knows it. In any other cabinet that had (a) some level of meritocracy and (b) some level of ethics, she'd be fucked right off to the back benches faster than you could say "chartered flight to Rwanda".

Johnson looks scruffy = free pass.

cf. Michael Foot and Jeremy Corbyn.

I've only seen two pictures of Boris and Carrie at the Jubilee, one was clearly taken without their knowledge and they look extremely miserable in it, the second picture featured Carrie, Boris and Rachel Johnson. Boris and Carrie are clearly smiling for the camera with Rachel looking very awkward which would suggest that she knows that the picture is clearly being staged.

Probably because they think the pageantry should be for them.

Which of the 3 tax-payer funded “official” photographers took them?

I reckon the first picture where they are looking miserable was a still taken from news coverage of the event but this second picture was probably the work of his personal photographer.
