Where's the P.M.? Shouldn't he be in view, not hiding away ?

I do wish that the supporters of minority rule would stop claiming that this shower have been elected democratically.

Oh dear Boris seems to think it is OK to climb over a fence and pith his tent on someone else's land! Really Priti will have to have a word with him about boundaries and illegal immigrants.

I noticed that it looked as though the cottage was surrounded by a hedge. I don't believe for one minute that he has stayed in that tent. For a start, it's on a slope not far from a cliff edge and I've heard the weather in Scotland us bad. Secondly, the tent hasn't been pitched properly. Thirdly, it looks new and clean, as though it's come out of the packet.

Frankly, I don't really care where he's staying and I think it's a distraction. What bothers me much more is that he's really not acting like a leader and seems to be noticeably absent whenever there's any kind of crisis.

There was an ad a couple of weeks to be Johnson's "public face", so it looks as though we'll see even less of him in the future.

For all his faults - and they are too numerous to mention - surely his fiancée is entitled to a short holiday with Boris and the new baby? I doubt if he would be making much sense if he was in London right now. I agree that he is an appalling choice as PM but he was elected democratically. We just have to pray that with a reasonable Leader once more, the Labour Party can put up a decent opposition. Basically, I reckon Boris was only elected for his hair and mad, bumbling manner.

Much more, if you chose to pay attention Jabber

In answer to your question., Indecision in the early days of Covid, but I don't think any other party would have done any better. No problem with peoples personal lives! Brexit???
Nothing else!

I am not sure why you are so concerned about the LibDem leadership Jabber as you do not come across as very liberal or democratic.

But since you ask, Ed Davey was appointed acting leader after Jo Swinson lost her seat in December. There would have been a leadership election in the spring but because of coronavirus it was postponed until the summer.

Most of us have now voted, either for Ed Davey or Layla Moran. The result should be declared in a week or so.

oh my- this is just

'EXCLUSIVE: Get off my land! Furious farmer reveals Boris Johnson 'climbed over his fence to set up 8ft tent WITHOUT permission and lit a dangerous campfire before fleeing Highlands holiday cottage'... leaving his MINDERS to clean up

Farmer Kenny Cameron was livid after discovering PM had gone onto his land to camp without his say-so
He told MailOnline 'Usually if people want to go inside a fenced area, they ask for permission first'
Boris Johnson's minders have apologised and told the irate farmer they believed land was okay to use
Prime Minister and his family holidayed in property called The Old School House in remote Scottish peninsula
Property cost £1,500 a week to hire, but needs a £200 deposit and has honesty box for using the phone
Mr Johnson's group is understood to have left the hideaway last night and is on his way back to work
Number 10 Downing Street is 620 miles away, which the PM had been due to go back into on Monday
The holiday house is in Applecross, which warned visitors to say away during the coronavirus pandemic
It has recently endured a different type of invasion when millions of midges swarmed on the area
Location was also the spot where a BBC 2 reality TV show called the Great Escape filmed in 2009'

You have to feel sorry for him!

He obviously felt he just HAD to holiday here but honestly, Scotland in August? He must have heard of the famous midges to say nothing of the weather!

I wonder if they are debating whether they DARE fly out to that Med villa offered to them by a friend?!

The temptation would be almost overwhelming wouldn’t it?!?

They must have nanny, bodyguards, other staff in tow. Where are they staying?

The DM had an hilarious report this morning that he, Carrie and baby were camping up there and were forced to flee because of the midgies.
The online version seems to have disappeared now and this instead:

What has Lib Dem leadership got to do with this thread? If you’re that interested, start a thread on that.

Some headlines say they are glamping in Scotland, but if they are glamping, they are not in that sagging ex-boy scout tent that the photos show. Glamping is glamorous camping.

Goodness!!! Could it be that the papers are trying to make mischief???? Surely not

I 'm still waiting for my query to be answered as to why the Lib/dems can't seem to be able to choose a new leader!! I won't be too do g my breath though!
Apart from perhaps Scotland where on earth would Churchill have had a holiday for one week, never mind four during the war?!!! Not many, countries were open for holidays particularly in Europe!!!!

Sorry I’ve scrolled all the way back but I can’t find where you put that query ? I’d answer that I honestly don’t know, and that although my tendencies are towards Lib Dem sadly they are not performing well. And now please could you tell me whether I am correct in assuming you never do or could find fault with the current government purely because they are Tories ?

What have the LibDems got to do with this thread? I’ll try to find out where they stand leadership contest wise if you’re losing sleep over it.All I know is I have cast my vote so it is obviously a work in progress.

Sorry, holding my breath....etc

Jabberwok Umstongran lemongrove. I’d love a response to my post at 13.31.

I have no idea, but my paternal grandfather worked with Churchill and was away from home for days. Churchill and some staff had quarters under Whitehall and were expected to stay "at work" and work through the night at times. My grandmother said she hardly saw her husband during the war.
Fascinating growstuff. I really wish I had managed a visit to The War Rooms in Whitehall, but for some reason it passed me by.

Jabberwok

Oh dear, touch a nerve?!! Not if you're the PM quizqueen! No,correction, THIS P.M! Does it really matter, or indeed the business of anyone on here what Boris's holiday arrangements are, with or without baby Wilfred? Oh dear Grandad, and there was me thinking you were above cheap jibes. Even your own elected leader! How sad is that!

Dud you drink caustic soda for breakfast?

True growstuff and didn't Thatcher do that too?

No, and a far cry from Meghan and Harry's luxurious tent in Botswana too Elegran!.

Undoubtedly both Johnson and Starmer have gone missing due to so much doom and gloom being expressed on social media.

Rumour is that they have both entered a monastery to seek divine guidance out of all their problems. However, with Johnsons passed record in regard to his love women it is just as likely he has entered a nunnery. ??

Starmer has been in Falmouth, Stoke, Broughton, Camden, Peterborough, Wakefield, Barnsley and Darlington.

Maybe he has his own tent.

*Did Churchill take 4 weeks holidays during the war?*
Maybe not biba, but when you do the tour of the Houses of Parliament they tell you that Churchill kept a bed there so he could have frequent naps during the day!

But he compensated for that by working throughout the night.
