As if there isn't enough evidence that Johnson is unfit for office

Director of Communications has quit at No 10

I wouldn't trust Mirza or her husband, Dougie Smith, as far as I could throw them. They've stuck with Johnson through thick and thin for 13 years and, quite frankly, they're as bad as he is. It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if they're manoeuvring to join Team Sunak. They know as much as Cummings about where the bodies lie. I think this is a case of rats leaving a sinking ship.

Yes I think you are right.

She is also implicated in dodgy PPE deals.

The UK Statistics Authority have written to Downing St to advise them that the Prime Minister's claim that there are more people in work now than at the start of the pandemic is wrong. He has now made this claim 7 times but knows it is wrong! When will he correct the record?!

And her husband was the founder of "Killing Kittens", a sex site, which received government funding at the beginning of the pandemic.

So Jack Doyle's gone now ... hmmm.

Allegedly, he attended one of the Downing Street parties.

Another former colleague of PM and Mirza predicts her departure could be start of the end game... 'The apocalypse is preceded by all sorts of things you never expect to happen. The moon turns red and the sun goes black. Munira leaving boris had to be on such a list.'

Mirza's husband has been close to Sunak for years. Allegedly, Smith encouraged Sunak to go into politics.

You can imagine a meeting of old friends including Cummings Mirza and husband and Sunak with Gove hovering in the background

BREAKING: Larry the cat has resigned as Chief Mouser with Downing Street quickly running out of rats.

I hope Raab, Cleverly and Dorries, who defended Johnson about the Starmer slur, will hang their heads in shame, or at least the voters in their constituencies will show them the door.

Gove defended Johnson yesterday. This is Gove who said that the EU was responsible for his fathers business folding only for his father to come out and say that wasn’t true.

Another letter has gone in from Anthony Mangnall

As the Prime Minister was hosting parties, I was burying my father. How can a premier who inspires such contempt continue to lead?

We did a good job for him – poems, a piper. But it was just a very few of us, standing outside in a churchyard in the wind: we were unable to hold our own service inside the church where he had been an elder for more than 50 years and he never had the proper send-off he richly deserved.

Knowing more about the persons involved, I retract my previous post about moral codes as it is now apparent that Ms Mirza is just another rat leaving a sinking ship. The Savile comment may have been too much for her but she wasn't concerned about his oft reported lies, corrupt behaviour, cronyism.

She sounds very ambitious from what I’ve just read about her.

2 more resigned from No 10 staff.

It’s like the night of the long knives!!

The whips have been told to spin it as the big clear out by Johnson.

Oh well.

There’s a lot of misuse of statistics floating around at the moment. Eg lockdowns didn’t save lives, the death rate from covid isn’t as high as previously thought. I dread to think what sort of spin this government is going to put on everything.

He said crime was down and the cost of living down - complete hogwash, how he can get away with lying in parliament when it’s “ unparliamentary “ to call someone a liar is beyond me.

The spin it as a clear out concept rings true. The headline of Daily Mail on line is saying that Martyn Reynolds and Dan Rosenfield were 'axed' but the actual article repeatedly refers to them resigning. Are they being deliberately misleading?

I suspect that the four advisers who have left Downing Street were involved in lots of dodgy things - eg Martin Reynolds having ignored the lockdown rules and invited others during lockdown to a Bring Your Own Booze event. I think Doyle featured in the video where Allegra Stratton was laughing about how to deal with questions about parties to be called "work events" so his departure was to be expected.

Munira Mirza's departure still happened despite Boris trying to row back from his personal attack on Keir Starmer as he is incapable of making sincere and convincing apologies. She probably got bored trying to rein him in and being totally ignored because of his habit of using his own sound bytes, however disingenuous and inappropriate.

Boris was fortunate when Mayor of London to have a good team of advisers who did all the work and didn't mind him taking all the credit. Now the advisers at Number 10 don't want to to take the flak for him any longer when he shows he is not fit for the job. I don't blame them.

Now that we have heard how lazy he is about keeping policy papers in his red boxes secure let alone grasp the details of the policies things will only get worse IMHO if the more able people invited to work at Number 10 turn down invitations to work there in the future.

Johnson’s advisors when London mayor covered up for him when he was spending afternoons at his lover’s flat getting “technology lessons” . Several of them resigned over the years, he didn’t seem to hang onto them for very long. Johnson isn’t going to go quietly, he will be plotting his survival strategy, he’ll see it as a challenge.

Splish, Splash, Splish, Splash. 4 more over the side of the sinking ship.

Don’t believe the spin

“Tis not the king, but the king’s evil counsellors” is one of the oldest tropes in human history

And every generation, people still fall for it
