Kali How exciting! Do give us all the details.

The majority of people working at the House of Commons , are neither MPs nor members of the Upper House, they are cleaners, caterers, security staff, library staff, secretarial staff, lots and lots of young interns. I would be very surprised if cocaine was not found there and I wouldnot be surprised if an MP might be involved, but I really do not think the place is a drug den, with coke heads collapsed in every corner.

People taking cocaine do not look off their heads
Pills, cannabis, drink, yes, but not cocaine.
Lots of people take cocaine to stay awake.

Absolutely right Lincslass. I just reported what the paper said. We will have to wait for the next instalment.

It’s all over the papers, here’s the Independent’s account.

MPs are involved by the looks of it.

Well any one who has a H of C pass, will be suspect, and not only MPs, random drugs tests are required for all .

Apparently 1:11 people took drugs up to March 21..

Gove was off his head in the HoC last year no? Visibly so.

Crumbs, I missed that. Could you tell me more please?

Well if Johnson is 'plotting' (why do the media use this kind of terminology?) a new war on drugs, he knows where to start...

Probably a little livener.
A snifter (pardon the pun) before the main event.

Perhaps it was around the time of the party.
That one that happened..

Oh, that's it.
Last year.

I think that was in No 10, this is in the H of C.

Just no words.

I bet this will be a difficult genie to put back in the bottle...

Lindsay who?

Hoyle - predictive text strikes again

MerylStreep Sun 05-Dec-21 21:04:43

I’d be more surprised if they didn't find any. Cocaine is everywhere.
I wonder if Boris will take their passports away, as he threatened today.

Good Lord, what next....

The Times reports Lindsay Hall is asking Police to investigate after 11 of 12 areas tested showed trace of cocaine. The sites included the toilets near the offices of Mr Johnson and Ms Patel
