It's all a bit "Last day of term" mental

* Corbyn-P advocating murder and arson.
* Conservative "Friends of Covid" enjoying some mutual bloodletting.
* Lord David Frost says "Goodbye, Good Evening and Good riddance".
* Government desperately looking for somebody who didn't attend a Westminster piss-up: to investigate Westminster piss-ups.

Who does he put there? The members won't want a Steve Barclay put there.

The ERG loons will be on the PM’s back if someone vaguely sane replaces Frost. They are already and predictably the Tories look like they’re heading back to the Major bastard years.

That's why part of me hopes that tomorrow, Johnson heeds the advice of SAGE, bring in the measures as quickly as practical (not 8 days later) and issues a Major-like "Put up or shut up" challenge.

But he won't.

This is getting silly now.

I wonder if Stretton became the latest mistress of the pork haystack?

[Boiler]

Like rats in a sack.

These people are fucking lunatics

And dangerous.

I had that thought when she first got the job

[Youngian]

This is getting silly now.

Not a big deal electorally but will make Johnson’s private life more miserable. Did Carrie know her replacement had been kicked into touch?

[Crabcakes]

Johnson must be having a miserable time just now. So it gives me enormous pleasure to see it get even worse

There is no suggestion that Stratton was taking a prime ministerial length, but it is entirely plausible.

That's how these things work, isn't it?

[Andy McDandy]

I think it was former Johnson squeeze Petronella Wyatt who said that the resistance to lockdowns among the Tory elite was because they were all having affairs, and the concept of being cooped up with their actual family was too much to bear.

Certainly is if you write in The Telegraph

[Abernathy]

Jeebus. A Prime Ministerial Length.

Get me out of here.

Priapus for PM

Today I learned that indeed one Partyu Leader was in awe of Weatherman Piers Corbyn.

Footage of London Mayor - "Boris" Johnson being cross-examined over his unscientific climate sceptic articles in the Telegraph.
His source - The renowned "scientist" Corbyn-P.

[Youngian]

Here it is. Nick Ferrari first elevated Corbyn as the plucky English boffin who could out-forecast those so-called experts at the Met office. No evidence offered up by Piers or Nick for this claim.

[Boiler]

Dear Lord - I don't know who that poor woman was* or what this was but how she never got up, walked across the room, punched Johnson in the throat and screamed STOP TALKING YOU UTTER HOOFCLUNGE I will never know.

It was the exasperated "Oh, God..." at 1:17 that did it for me.

*Edit: I see it was Jenny, Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb (think I've got that right).

[Nigredo]

Is this the second press conference he's done where he's basically said nothing but "get boosted otherwise we may have to consider something stronger"?
