I had a read earlier. The trigger is trans people, but the twist is that people are making notes and reporting bigots. This is apparently just like the mafia (seriously, she makes that comparison).

Lardarse’s current petulant strop is just the icing on this most delicious cake of entirely self-inflicted comeuppance.

Turns out those lawyers were well worth the public money after all!

Wait a second! Sarah Vine is telling us there's a new scourge, threatening our free speech! Big deal if true, guys.

Shouldn't she be showing Govey what he's missing?

Surprisingly sane intervention by the new Justice Secretary, who may not feel that Bozo will help him retain his Cheltenham seat at the next election.

He’s sorry for his absence from a conference he wasn’t invited to. No apology for Uxbridge while he’s busy grifting in Las Vegas

An example how corruption, if left untreated spreads uncontrolled.


Boris Johnson allies accused of planning to block Margaret Ferrier suspension

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/20 ... suspension

Allies of Boris Johnson have been accused of preparing to block a motion to suspend the disgraced Scottish MP Margaret Ferrier, leading the government to postpone the vote in parliament.

It is believed that supporters of the former prime minister feared that a vote to suspend Ferrier for 30 days over a breach of Covid-19 rules could set a precedent if Johnson faced a similar vote.

So, the allegations of lockdown-breaking parties at Chequers are true, then.

Boris Johnson has insisted fresh claims he broke lockdown rules are "total nonsense" and that elements of his ministerial diary were "cherry-picked and handed to police".

The former prime minister was confronted by Sky News about the allegations as he made his way through the Dulles International Airport in Washington following a brief tour of the US.

Asked if he broke the rules he told Sky's US correspondent James Matthews: "This whole thing is a load of nonsense from beginning to end...

Knowing what a liar he is, we have to believe the opposite of whatever he says.

"I think it's ridiculous that elements in my diary should be cherry-picked and handed over to the police, to the privileges committee without even anybody having the basic common sense to ask me what these entries referred to."

"I think it's ridiculous that they didn't warn me so I could cook up a plausible-sounding story. I'm funtime Boris. Why have my adoring fans dumped me in the shit like this?"

[Andy McDandy]

Of course they've cherry picked details. Is he going to copy the Day Today's pool attendant: "May 26th, no-one partied..."?

[Bones McCoy]

If only "Nipper" Reid had the common sense to contact the otherwise law abiding Kray twins to enquire about all that extortion, gangstering and murder.

[Tubby Isaacs]

How do you cherry pick gatherings to make them look illegal? More likely he invited a load of pals up and thought he could pass it off as work.

[Abernathy]

Was Trump giving Johnson advice? “Listen, Boris, what ya do is jest claim it’s all a political stitch-up and a witch-hunt.”

[satnav]

There really needs to be a great deal more scrutiny in the way in which Chequers operates. From what I can see the governments pays money to a trust which then pays for staffing an running costs. There seems to be very little scope for proper scrutiny and prime ministers can invited along who ever they want. When Tony Blair was PM it cost £1m to run Chequers but that figure included maintenance work on the building.

Blair was criticised for inviting along too many celebrities but I would be more concerned about prime ministers using the place to raise money for their political party or to schmooze up to media barons.

Johnson’s sister has chipped in to say that when she went to Chequers during lockdown she never saw anything illegal - seemingly oblivious to the fact she shouldn’t have been there at all and that that in itself was illegal.

I’ve also seen the defence now raised that Johnson should be left alone because ‘Carrie is heavily pregnant’, despite the fact he seems to have fucked off on a world speaking tour and her actually giving birth previously apparently didn’t disqualify him from being PM. Which is arguably more cringeworthy than the old Corbyn fanclub line than you couldn’t criticise him because he was an old man, yet simultaneously so youthful and strong he could revitalise the whole country and needed to be elected without question.

Johnson’s sister has chipped in to say that when she went to Chequers during lockdown she never saw anything illegal - seemingly oblivious to the fact she shouldn’t have been there at all and that that in itself was illegal.

Likewise Jacob Rees-Mogg who boasted that his son (who is not a member of the government) bowled Johnson middle stump at Chequers, which doesn't sound like an essential work meeting to me.

[Andy McDandy]

And now it appears that the fragrant Carrie had her friends over a few times. It's all a fucking game to them, isn't it?
