Another party picture.

Calendargirl Wed 15-Dec-21 12:35:02

Are we supposed to know who is in the picture? No one looks very familiar.

MissAdventure Wed 15-Dec-21 12:45:39

They're all Tory aides and civil servants.
One has since quit their job.

It's Shaun Bailey's party. He who ran for tory London Mayor last year. The guy in the grey jacket is apparently his billionaire backer. I believe that at least one of Johnson's staff has been identified.

Take your pick as to which account of it you want to read

When was it?

Guess...

MissAdventure Wed 15-Dec-21 12:50:46

During tier 2 restrictions.

MissAdventure Wed 15-Dec-21 12:59:48

There are texts, too, which will no doubt come to light.
It's Bailey who has quit his job.

So.... who was stupid enough to take photographs at such a time and who to leak them? Lack of foresight or of intelligence?

Not condoning breaking the rules!

More importantly it was at Conservative Party HQ.

MerylStreep Wed 15-Dec-21 13:16:23

Shaun Bailey has resigned.

Mamie Wed 15-Dec-21 13:22:47

Not civil servants at CCHQ I think.

MissAdventure Wed 15-Dec-21 13:34:21

The story is taking hold in newspapers now.
Good.

So who took the picture? A colleague, a friend, who was happy to join in it, if there was an it, what a lovely person, certainly a sneak and using his connections to bring people down. Certainly had 12 months to decide to use it, did they choose their timing wisely? Who would trust him or her? I and no one I know, are bothered. Are they all still alive those in the picture? I do not recognise one of them.

MissAdventure Wed 15-Dec-21 14:50:18

Good for you.
I'm bothered though.

Shinamae Wed 15-Dec-21 14:53:05

Having a lovely time and laughing at us “little people”smug b******s..?

Lucca Wed 15-Dec-21 15:01:19

And I am bothered too.

MissAdventure Wed 15-Dec-21 15:01:55

Well, there was obviously a snake in the woodpile.
I know who my money is on....

I'm no expert but that pic looks photo-shopped to me.

MissAdventure Wed 15-Dec-21 16:46:52

It does look strange doesnt it?
The plot thickens.
Do you think someone has been airbrushed out of that gap?

MaizieD Wed 15-Dec-21 16:51:21

I'm no expert but that pic looks photo-shopped to me.

Not proof it didn't happen, though. Bailey resigned just hours after it had been published.

Now who could have been photoshopped out, I wonder?
I've seen plenty of versions with a Very Important Person photoshopped in grin
