Has our country ever been in such a state?

A senior Tory now urging other Tory MPs to report to the police because it appears that they were threatened with blackmail by the government for withdrawal of funding, public shame or boundary changes.

Sue Gray has found the e-mail sent to Johnson by a senior civil servant to Johnson warning him not to go ahead with the party.

Peston reporting.

He must’ve know it was sent to him so why lie about it ? The evidence of the parties - right down to the suitcase used to buy in booze - were systematically uncovered, so did it not dawn on him that the email would eventually surface too ?

So, the $64,000 question. Who do we like for the next general election ? I was going to ask who we like for the next PM, but I think that’ll come sooner than the election !!

Islamaphobia in the Tory party.

Something we always knew/suspected now apparently being confirmed by a Tory MP.

Really think this Whip would say this, considering she has the premise of being right on her side, and he would know this. So why say it? Defaming and being very divisive, perhaps she was just not the right person for the role. Let’s wait and see rather than chucking racist aspersion over every Tory MP.

He came forward voluntarily didn’t he - said he didn’t want other whips to be under suspicion when it was him with whom she had had the conversation. Don’t know what to make of it really. Didn’t she have something to do with HS2 ?

It was last Thursday 9.30 Radio 4.

Thanks. I'll have a listen.

The BBC has a photo on its website of lorry queues into Dover allegedly yesterday, unfortunately it’s obvious it is not recent as the trees are in their autumnal beauty as opposed to January bareness.

Just have a look at Ciaran's twitter feed, GG13. He's videoing what he sees and he's not faking it. Link at top of this page...

BBC don't research their photos well. Remember them posting the photo of Johnson laying a wreath at the Cenotaph, from the wrong year...

Tory Lord resign because of covid fraud.

Massive queues at Dover? A disaster for drivers, hauliers, business, imports-exports- and the customer.
