Johnson today and PMQs! ⁉️

How can it be necessary to wait for the results of an enquiry? How? Either he was there or he wasn't, and he must know. It's not as though someone has asked what he was doing on a random Saturday night in 1987 - he knew beyond doubt that he would be asked about it, and could have checked his diary.

Mine was typically blank on that day, as it goes. A couple of Zoom meetings instead of going in to work, and a reminder to speak to my mother on the phone instead of going to see her in person. Many others had days that they will never forget, and it is unconscionable that the PM is behaving so disrespectfully towards them.

This goes far deeper than not sharing his policies - it a matter of basic decency, which I would hope was shared by those of all political persuasions. He needs to go, and soon.

Well, he's admitted he was there, and also at other parties.

What will the Met police say now? "We don't investigate crimes that have already happened?"

He did say he was there

Well yes. But given that, what is he waiting for the enquiry to say?

He has been asked to do the decent thing and resign by MPs from all nations of the UK. He isn't a decent man and is giving himself wriggle room by asking everyone to wait for the results of the enquiry.

So the enquiry is going to confirm that Johnson attended an illegal event that he admits that he attended

He is never going to stop lying. That is what our politics has been reduced to.

Yes. He is also buying time to see what else Cummings has on him, and to see if his PR team can conjure up another, more positive story to break on the day of the enquiry results.

Just been told that a journalist has tweeted that they couldn't see BJ in the car taking him to PMQs. They believe he was in the car but lying down, presumably covered by the proverbial blanket. That beats the fridge any day of the week,

Wriggle, wriggle, wriggle. What else can we hope for given the sort of man he is ?.

So he “happened” to go into the garden and lo and behold- found a group of people there that he had unknowingly invited, but wasn’t sure if it was a party - his wife could have told him as she was drinking gin.

He continues to lie.

It clearly wasn’t, but had it been a work do his wife shouldn’t have been there.

The MP who said that the PM is morally distanced from the people is spot on.

That's what I was coming on to say. How can they try to squirm out of it by saying it was a 'work meeting' and then justify Carrie being there? Although that was never raised with the leaked photographs event either. I scream at the TV 'ask what Carrie was doing at official work events'

bring your own booze on the invitation is hardly what you would expect if it was work.

So, just had a thought, when we were unable to meet with our families and friends, if we'd only known to form companies all together we could have had work events in our gardens that might have 'looked' like social gatherings but weren't.

Tory MPs not convinced. Unsurprisingly

But maybe we would have been more intelligent and not issued written invitations.

Liberal Democrat Leader Sir Ed Davey, who was the last to be called to speak, pointed out that so far the PM's press spokeswoman, Allegra Stratton, was the only person to have lost her job over this scandal and warned that it would be unacceptable if these latest revelations ended with some junior civil servant getting sacked when the person who deserved to be booted out was Boris Johnson.

We had our AGM in our garden in 2020 and 2021, yes we did have snacks and a drink afterwards.

Looking at the Conservative MP’s around Mr.Johnson I get the impression he is definitely losing support from within the party.

My money is still on Mr.Sunak, but then again I am in the anyone but Mr.Gove camp…

Is Jacob Rees-Mogg really wearing a mask in the colours of the Old Etonian tie?

Labour MP Chris Bryant hit the spot when he reminded Johnson that he had been sacked from two previous jobs for lying and asked whether the job of Prime Minister was any less important than these jobs where lying was a sacking offence.

Simon Hoare just said on Sky News that the party was to thank Raab for standing in fir him when he was in hospital. So that means that Raab knew about it and must surely have been there. So Hoare gave an interview defending the PM and has now implicated Raab as well. Or is Raab going to be the scapegoat? Because they’re desperately searching for one.

I’m sure that Starmer made reference to him hiding in his car

AGAA4

*bring your own booze* on the invitation is hardly what you would expect if it was work.

Unless of course that’s the ‘culture’ of that ‘work space’, which I’m lead to believe is the case
