Boris Johnson - Time Running out?

[Huxleys Babkins]

Sue Gray's reaction to the latest news:

Another draft in the bin.

[jobotic]

Dorries really is desperate to defend her mealticket. Fucking imbecile.

It'd be funny but it brings home the fact that Nadine fucking Dorries is in a position of power.

[Replies From View]

Well I'm sick of voting for them just to be disappointed if that's okay

Have a different reason then

[amputeeporn]

I love these stories breaking late evening, once or twice a week - I feel genuinely excited to watch the news the next morning, just knowing for a change that I'll like what I see. I know there's so much wrong with the world, but if you can't enjoy watching Boris Johnson - a lying idiot - being kicked to death in public for being a lying idiot, then there's no hope.

big DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE YOU CUNT vibe from Murdoch here putting the ITV cake on the front page




not really news, is it? just assault on a useless cunt they've lost interest in

[Beagle 2]

I find it depressing that this is what's going to bring him down, not, y'know, all the other fucking stuff.

Alright, only a bit depressing, it's also popcorn-munching fun. And whatever the scandal, it's great to see that it's making him look ill. As long as he is coming to some sort of lasting physical and mental harm then it's a win.

[DrGreggles]

Hang on, they were singing 'Happy Birthday' for TEN MINUTES?!

[DrGreggles]

This is what's bringing him down because the other fucking stuff didn't.

Whoever decides these things has decided that whatever usefulness Johnson ever had to 'them' has been exhausted, so they're going to keep drip-feeding this stuff until he's gone.

Obviously the next Tory up will also be a massive cunt, but let's not pretend that this isn't all tremendous fun.

Be better a front page of Murdoch and all his many crimes and crimes by proxy splurged across the entire newspaper. The puppet master's puppet master

So the school didn't just sing happy birthday to him but gave him a cake as well?

Transport Secretary Grant Shapps has suggested the public would not consider the prime minister's birthday gathering to be a party.

The transport secretary told BBC Breakfast: "I think most people would think of a party as being an arranged event rather than something where on somebody's birthday in the office that they work in with the people that they always work with, someone says 'it's your birthday here's a cake'...

Shapps adds that he does understand why the event "would cause upset", but there are "so many other issues" to focus on.

"It wasn't a party, look over there..."

hiya cake mate

[Fambo Number Mive]

BBC News totally ignoring this in the report from ITV News:

ITV News understands that the interior designer, Lulu Lytle - who was not a member of No 10 staff - also attended the gathering.

Makes Dorres' tweet look even more silly.

[GMTV]

I'm just waiting for news of the Downing Street Lockdown Bukkake Party to make it to the front pages.

No. 10 sources say Boris Johnson was at the party for only 30 seconds

[Inspector Norse]

Bringing a cake to someone in the office then wandering off back to your desk after ten minutes does sound suspiciously mundane and working class to be fair. Johnson would be more used to celebrating with a weekend in his Alpine chalet.

[dissolute ocelot]

Hang on, they were singing 'Happy Birthday' for TEN MINUTES?!

Someone kept singing the version about the monkey.

It's fun to imagine what's the atmosphere in Number 10. Is Johnson cowering in a corner, occasionally being prodded by a big stick by his wife or staff like a reluctant circus elephant, or is he in full on Scarface/Downfall mode raging against his enemies and doing all the drugs? Or maybe he is just numb, sitting there gibbering, people working his mouth with wires when he needs to make a pronouncement, some kind of waxwork wheeled into Parliament once a week, a complex cocktail of drugs simulating normality for 20 minutes a day.

[olliebean]

I'm not sure he'll ever resign, and I'm not sure anyone can sack him (from being Prime Minister, not from party leadership) other than the Queen or the electorate in a general election. Could be interesting if he loses a confidence vote and refuses to go.

[JohnnyCouncil]

All the media coverage today seems to be a bit shrug shoulders. Hope i'm wrong but unless the report is unspinnable by Tory MPs then he could be over the worst.

[SpiderChrist]

This would not surprise me in the slightest.

[pigamus]

Needs Putin to come to his rescue

[robhug]

Good news about Dickie Branson sorting out the schools tho

[Rich Uncle Skeleton]

we're running out of time for him to be given the boot and have been in the job for less time than Spencer Percival. the thought of him not even making it past Neville Chamberlain (not to mention Theresa May) is quite pleasing too. (yes I'm aware this isn't the point, whoever comes next will be arguably worse and we're still stuck with these bastards but still)

[Paul Calf]

It'd be funny but it brings home the fact that Nadine fucking Dorries is in a position of power.

And David Davies and Priti Patel and Raaaaaaaab and Pork Markets and Therese Coffey and Grant Shapps and Rees-Smogg.

All of them demonstrably thick as a butcher's shit and mostly very expensively educated. The most senior political representatives in the country; the best we have.

Assume it's not the rapid response unit.

Guess they've decided that the best tactic is to investigate and exonerate. Home and dry.

[Harry Badger]

Police now investigating the No. 10 parties. Presumably they've had the nod from on-high not to protect him any more.

[Beagle 2]

Ah, I see. Cressida Dick conveniently can't comment on a live investigation while giving evidence, and Sue Gray can't conclude while the police investigate. More time bought for this all to blow over.

[Paul Calf]

Commissioner Cressida Dick said the force was looking into "potential breaches of Covid-19 regulations" within No 10 and across Whitehall over the past two years, but not to get too hopeful because the only officers they could spare were dead.

[Huxleys Babkins]

Dick going in hard.
