This place is not a place of honor, no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here, nothing valued is here.
What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us.
This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.

Mail on Sunday editor refuses meeting with The Speaker and doubles down on the misogyny:

f.ck the f.ck off you gaslighting shits.The Mail claimed Dillon and the Mail on Sunday’s political editor Glen Owen, whose byline appeared next to the story, had rejected the Speaker’s invitation to a meeting on Wednesday “in the name of a free press”.
In response to Hoyle, Dillon said journalists should “not take instruction in the House of Commons, however august they may be”, adding that the newspaper “deplores sexism and misogyny in all its forms”.

With this and the chief whip investigating claims a frontbench Tory was watching p.rn on his phone in both the chamber and in committee meetings - do we need a new Tory sleaze/misogyny thread?

I hope so. Can’t wait for the Tories to try and make out that stopping for a bite to eat with one bottle of beer is equivalent to 12 booze fuelled orgies with sh.t being broken left, right and centre.
I’ve decided I should be on the pardon list if that’s still in the works

I doubt he'd actually have to resign, because it doesn't look like he's done anything wrong, but it seems that over half the UK disagrees with me on that clicky. Even if he doesn't get a fine, there's probably been some reputational damage already.

Re: 2020 No. 10 Christmas Party!
There was reputational damage anyway even before all this. If the police find him not guilty, it's just another stick to beat Johnson with. If they find him guilty, he'll resign, it's another stick to beat Johnson with.

There's no replacement for Starmer. It'll be a disaster if he goes.

Re: 2020 No. 10 Christmas Party!
I dunno, I don't think it's as hopeless as all that, but I guess it's all down to Durham police and whether they have any sense. Labour haven't purged all their talent out of the party unlike the Tories.
An option for Durham is to do what they did with Cummings and say there might have been a minor breach but whatevs, we cba. If they do that, would he resign? f.ck knows. Should he? f.ck knows.
