Ooooooh dear.. There's more to that mock press conference...

Officials at 10 Downing Street are said to be in a 'state of panic' over further recordings of Boris Johnson's former spokeswoman Allegra Stratton that include her responses to questions about the Prime Minister's personal life.

Is this about the violin player? Are there more?

Didn’t we read a while back that Johnson has a mistress on the go?

Happened during lockdown in May. It looks less shocking than it actually is, because it was at a time when no more than 2 people could meet 6 foot apart outside.

How long will it take the Tories to kick this waste of space out? What we are seeing now is nothing that could not have been predicted, but they have seemed to be in thrall to him, in spite of knowing he is a liar and a cheat.

Then we are faced with who next. Liz Truss has been bandied about as a possibility, but that has to be a joke surely. We are already an international laughing stock.

It is so depressing.

I see Truss is being implicated now.

Full story here:

Liz Truss, the current favourite to succeed Boris Johnson as leader of the Conservatives among party members, hosted a lunch at an expensive private club owned by a Tory donor after overruling civil service advice to look for a cheaper venue.

Leaked correspondence has revealed the foreign secretary “refused to consider anywhere else” and asked that public funds should pay for a £3,000 event with Joe Biden’s trade representative.

Civil servants were so concerned at the cost and the venue’s close links to the Tories that the proposal was referred to the most senior official at the Department for International Trade.

According to the correspondence, Truss, then the trade secretary, “explicitly asked that we book 5 Hertford Street”, which is owned by Robin Birley, a £20,000 donor to Boris Johnson’s leadership campaign and the half-brother of Zac Goldsmith, the environment minister.
