Re: 2020 No. 10 Christmas Party!
Well we know that's lie for a start.
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.

Meanwhile Grant Schapps has stated that Johnson wasn't partying because he was mourning the death of his mother, which was nearly a year after the party.
Have you considered stupidity as an explanation

Don’t bother watching the full Panorama. Everything of interest was in the twitter clip. The programme as a whole was damage limitation for Boris Johnson and the Conservatives and an opportunity to try and both sides it with the Starmer Durham thing. Jesus I know Laura K gets some unfair and probably sexist criticism but any criticism she gets from this is richly deserved. Utter crap. Utter sh.t. Infuriating. It may be responsible for the total degradation of journalism world wide for the next century. Total bollocks. Jesus that is an hour of my life I won’t get back.Opti wrote: ↑Tue May 24, 2022 1:13 pmLooks like he's finally pissed off even those who have been covering for him up till now.

A failure of leadership and judgement.
Is that just Partygate or the last few years in general?

Opinium are releasing some new new polling on Twitter.
https://twitter.com/opiniumresearch/sta ... gC9frkQWVA
In the report I note that it’s clearly stated that the late announcement of the Met criminal investigation meant that some events were not investigated properly by Sue Gray.

Worst bits:
- sick / "altercation" between two individuals
- "got away with it"
- karaoke machine
- "don't wave bottles of wine"
And above all:
- nobody has investigated ABBA party

Re: 2020 No. 10 Christmas Party!
There's a certain level of baked-in insanity that we have got to the point where people are being seriously asked to look at pictures of parties and then decide whether the party is a party and which of the partying party-goers are partying at the party.Stranger Mouse wrote: ↑Wed May 25, 2022 10:51 amOpinium are releasing some new new polling on Twitter.

And yet, despite that, it's a f.cking trillion times more exciting and crowded than most children's parties that year.

Re: 2020 No. 10 Christmas Party!
I don't get why the opposition aren't picking up on the fact that it doesn't matter if it was obviously a party or not.
The test in law was whether the gathering was "reasonably necessary for work"
It's not hard to work out that getting lashed at someone's leaving do fails that test.

I can't get past the "they were working under immense pressure" clams. It was 10 Downing st, not an ICU full of Covid patients !! Tossers.

Not that much pressure; they were getting pissed at 4:00pm every Friday

Re: 2020 No. 10 Christmas Party!
Still amazed that fewer than 54 conservative MPs have a problem with this, with the minorly tin-hat caveat that conservative party internal processes aren't transparent and seem to have little regard for due process/reality. Can we actually trust reports of how many letters have been sent?
