Not a mention of this on BBC website

Weird, the BBC Radio news (on 6Music at least) had it first story.

Nah. Just imagine how much worse it would have been under Corbyn...

Are you trying to imply that he isn't entirely responsible?

They also asked the Defence Secretary about it on BBC Breakfast. His reply was "This is just hearsay" Pretty big news that he's naming a former pop group as a source.

As Novara pointed out, this is just another case of moving the spotlight from what was leaked (which is the important story) into "who leaked it".

"There'll be an inquiry".

Must be a coordinated approach.

Rees-Mogg said "It's just a load of fucking S Club Sevens. mate. That's all it is, S Club Sevens" while doing that Emu thing with his hand.

I can see a logic where people agree with him - it's fine to be blasé after the fact, when you're not dead: "yeah, we should have just powered through! Boris was right!"

What kind of working class man hasn't gone down the pub and talked about bodies piling up through their own wilful negligence.

They know their place well enough to know that if their betters tell them it's necessary then it is.

Is it even a night out if you don't banter about dead bodies piling up.

"Let the bodies pile high in their thousands" has honestly sent me into a bit of a tailspin. I can't actually believe it.

idunnosomename

it's the best bit of rhetoric he's come up with since he became prime minister. it is good to sing to the tune of "my bonnie lies over the ocean"

LET THE BODIES PILE HIGH IN THEIR THOUSANDS
LET THE CORPSES GO DOWN TO THEIR GRAVES
LET THE BODIES PILE HIGH IN THEIR THOUSANDS
WHILE MY MATES MAKE MORE MONEY IN SPADES

Alright step down. He's denied and at the same time paid tribute to all those that pulled together through the lockdown. And something about vaccines.

So if you question what he's saying your'e doing down the people who pulled together and you hate vaccines and the NHS.

"Fair enough" says Keith.

His coke-addled mind probably thinks it's something his beloved Churchill would have come out. His "we shall fight them on the beaches" moment.

Give had a tantrum but not actually properly denied it.
