Is this one he can plausibly get away with not knowing about beforehand, 'cos it was a surprise party?

I’m still trying to figure out how they are going to defend Lulu Lytle being there. Word is Sue Gray was already aware of the party.dyqik wrote: ↑Mon Jan 24, 2022 7:28 pmSo, what are the chances that someone in charge of the treasury, which is heavily criticized by Lord Agnew here, leaked the party news to distract from this, because they are angling to replace Johnson?Stranger Mouse wrote: ↑Mon Jan 24, 2022 6:33 pmBoris Johnson’s birthday party.

Maybe*, but I reckon there's a chance that it's to bog down Gray with work so she can't get her report outdyqik wrote: ↑Mon Jan 24, 2022 7:28 pmSo, what are the chances that someone in charge of the treasury, which is heavily criticized by Lord Agnew here, leaked the party news to distract from this, because they are angling to replace Johnson?Stranger Mouse wrote: ↑Mon Jan 24, 2022 6:33 pmBoris Johnson’s birthday party.

"Gray's nearly done? Can't have that. Leak the birthday one, that'll give us another week."
*Taking my tongue out of my cheek, this was one of my first thoughts. Lots of talk about scrapping the NI increase today as well, which won't look good for Sunak as soon as it hits payslips.

Re: 2020 No. 10 Christmas Party!
Good on Lord Agnew. I was beginning to think none of them gave a toss about the millions billions they spaffed up that particular wall.
(I can't get my head around that brand of Tory doublethink: Benefit clamaints lie to get money so we absolutely have to set up super punitive systems to stop that, but businesses wouldn't defraud us of a penny so we'll give out loans willy-nilly to anyone who applies.... Feckin' idiots.)

Re: 2020 No. 10 Christmas Party!
The Tories continue to dredge up creatures from the slime at the shallow end of their talent pool to defend Johnson.
Peter Bone’s turn tonight on Newsnight.
According to him nobody* cares about Johnson’s rulebreaking they are more concerned about the real important issues such as abolishing the BBC, banning the gayez and renaming August Bank Holiday Margaret Thatcher Day so the media** should stop going on about it.
Anyway Johnson invented the first COVID vaccine which has “saved billions of lives”. That last bit was a direct quote
With friends like that ...
*OK there was one but he used naughty words and was probably a Labour voter.
**presumably including all the rightwing outlets who refuse to miss out on the feeding frenzy. It’s almost as if they have a better clue what sells newspapers than this renowned quarterwit.

Everything right-wingers say is projection. They expect benefit recipients to be on the fiddle because they themselves are. Folks in charge of designing this system will have benefited from it.raven wrote: ↑Mon Jan 24, 2022 10:28 pm(I can't get my head around that brand of Tory doublethink: Benefit clamaints lie to get money so we absolutely have to set up super punitive systems to stop that, but businesses wouldn't defraud us of a penny so we'll give out loans willy-nilly to anyone who applies....

Their general dog-eat-dog view of society is just extrapolating from their own selfishness. Must be a sad way to live, really.

My avatar was a scientific result that was later found to be 'mistaken' - I rarely claim to be 100% correct
ETA 5/8/20: I've been advised that the result was correct, it was the initial interpretation that needed to be withdrawn
Meta? I'd say so!

I expect the police can talk to Sue Gray about her findings thus far though... and then go and have conversations with the people she spoke to, but under caution this time?Stranger Mouse wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 10:47 amSue Gray investigation won’t be paused but report won’t be published until after the criminal investigation completed
Can BoJo survive this? A fine from the Met would provide a greater degree of 'guilt' than Gray's report, wouldn't it?

Oh apparently all the cabinet are pissed off because they have to hand in their phones at the beginning of the meeting so when we saw confused ministers leaving 10 Downing Street this morning none of them knew what journalists were shouting at them about.Stranger Mouse wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 1:00 pmIt’s been reported that Johnson knew about the criminal investigation before his cabinet meeting today but didn’t tell them about it so they were amongst the last people in the country to find out

Re: 2020 No. 10 Christmas Party!
In the year 3000, a Futurama-style head-in-a-jar of PM Johnson will be found to have popped to Venus for a cocktail party during a planetary shutdown, and people will still be asking "Can Johnson survive this?"
It's like a Keith Richards shagged a cockroach (which, tbf, he may well have done).
