Sue Gray report and photos to be released today.

I was at PMQs yesterday and of course stayed on to hear his statement following the release of Sue Gray’s report.
Nothing changed in his response to the initial accusations or his demeanour
No one gave him a particularly hard time over it either
???

30 secs at the most of saying sorry with absolute no sincerity. I'm sorry but he lies and lies and still gets away with it. Senior members were advised not to complete forms so got away with party gate, whereas the juniors were given no advice so looks like they are the scape goats again. He is being paid to represent us and all he does is lie and cheat. Rant over.

Esspee what absolute rubbish, only a few idiots who believe all the MSM rubbish, with the leftwing agenda they have been pushing since 2016, believe that.
The media are an utter disgrace, a can of coke and a markies sandwich with a screen presentation is not a party, raising a glass to say goodbye to a colleague is not a party, being given a surprise birthday cake is not a party, so get over yourself
Beer and curry preordered for 30 peoples in a social club with many attendees not there for the meeting is a party

Hi Nads, didn't know you were a gran.

Did your jaundiced eyes miss the alcohol by the bucketload in Downing Street Brownow1564, and fact that our esteeemd leader was at 8 of the events investigated?

I presume therefore that you’ll be fully supportive of the judicial review of the Met’s investigation, and an investigation of the ABBA Party, as you’re 100% sure that the PM is an honest man. Good luck with that. .

There has been a witchunt mounted against Boris Johnson by the press and media the like of which has never been seen before. This is mainly since he managed to Get Brexit Done. The remoaners can't wait to replace him with a pro-Europe minister and then we will be back in Europe before you can draw breath. People are not silly, we know what all this is about.

A witch hunt? Hardly!

Which ‘press’ is anti- Johnson?

Are we still going on about this ? as for his staff it sounds like while the boss is away the staff did play. Yes they were wrong but Don’t we have more important things to worry about like energy costs and food costs which affects us all

It’s feels as though Mr Johnson had ideas about how to run No10 when he was about 14 years old talking to his pals at Eton,and promised if he got there this is what he would do!
Promises now fulfilled,please move on Mr 14 year old Johnson!

Aren’t the government also responsible for the other problems facing the country at the moment. Or are some people forgetting that the government presiding over the No 10 lockdown parties are also the government responsible for all the problems that are a result of 10+ years of Tory government.

More important things like, who do we trust to sort out energy costs and food costs which affect us all?

The pro-Boris argument now seems to come down to "This is a a time of national and European crisis, so what we need is a lying narcissist in charge".

Just look at the history of Tory leaders changing, they're ruthless in the execution. We could have someone at least half-way competent in place by the end of next week.

Sick to death of this that happened over 2 years ago. So many other important things happening in this world.

It’s not the parties Aepgirl
It’s the lies and incompetence.
I didn’t think my estimation of the man could sink any lower, but here we are.
I never fell for the idea the he has a great intellect; but now I think that he is just out and out stupid

Putting Johnson to one side for a moment, the civil servants are not covered in glory either. Some of them are very senior, very influential, an elite on big salary and benefits packages. I hear Party Marty has been banished to Foreign lands. In the private corporation I work in he would have been sacked. The rest of them will still be in Whitehall after the next election - we can’t vote them out.

I do agree with you ,Fanny. It is about the lying, leading to lack of trust , not only in this country, but across the world.If a leader cannot be trusted then why should a country believe anything they say. Why do people continue to make excuses for him ?
Johnson has a history of failing to act honourably, so it came as no surprise that he wouldn't do the honourable thing. ~I was interested to hear Rory Stewart talking about working with him and why he feels Johnson is unfit to be a leader. Thank goodness for the Tory ~MPs who do have integrity and have spoken out .





j is unfit to be a leader

Sorry, but this is exactly the reaction he relies on: draw it out for long enough and we'll all lose interest. Well, if we all lose interest he will do it again.

Tally agree Buffy .. the man is a security risk !

Some newspaper ( the usual suspects) seem to be editing the photos they put up showing just water and orange juice on the tables….

All the parties are as bad as each other in a “Do what I say, not what I do” attitude.
I’m bored to tears of all the Partygate drama and people hanging on to it, there is a lot going on in the world and this just seems like trivial bunk to me.
I followed the rules of lockdown to the T, people in my street didn’t and got away with it, people held an illegal rave and there were no arrests or fines and on and on with more and more examples but it’s time to move on and focus on more important things that are happening now.

Fashionistal .... I don't think so ! what witch hunt ? the Mail Express , Sun , (All Tax Dodgers ) have always been for him .. "Got Brexit done" and now the country is in total mess ! Tell us what we have gained from Brexit ? and everyone should read this the money figures are astounding and why the rich tax dodgers had to get brexit done !

Fashionistal .. forgot to enclose this >>> >>> nolanjazimreg.wordpress.com/2017/05/30/5/?fbclid=IwAR1uyQ3fdCuoBkgmRfi-RJ7mrwg4pXt7NX49CsA-fkfcLeDUduPfVgkjNVQ

I really can’t get excited about parties in Downing Street. I’m far more exercised by the videos we were treated to at the height of the Pandemic of NHS staff dancing in corridors while their patients gasped their life away from Covid. Who does that? Would they be dancing outside the bedroom door of their dying mother? It was callous, insensitive and disgusting.

Too little, too late for this to appear from the long grass. Johnson will brazen it out and carry on as usual. He is appalling.

I don't think it is reasonable to expect the General Public to "move on" - Coronavirus will be the big story of 2020-2021 - a Global Pandemic, Worldwide shutdowns, and in the UK the highest elected power had boozy meetings and leaving parties. With no social distancing, arranged in advance, cake involved.

Personally I'm bored with the "more important things going on in the World" because I can cope with more than one thing in my mind at any time. I can care about what is happening in Ukraine and care about the lies and outright deceit emanating from No 10 and think about what is for dinner tonight.

If I met Boris or any of his baying mob on the street I'd be telling him straight, don't take me for a bloody mug!

Get Brexit Done, now there's a bore right there! Absolute nonsense the whole thing. Boris can miss 6 Cobra meetings in advance of Covid, watching what was happening across Europe, the scenes from Italy, from Spain, but hey, he Got Brexit Done. Full on sarcasm here - hooray for the buffer. Thousands dead on his watch. How dare he party on like it doesn't matter. Because to him, it didn't matter. My opinion.

But, according to YouGov polls, it's the youngest cohort which disapproves of Johnson the most. Approval rises with age. The over 60s group is the only one which has consistently approved of Johnson.

I find that last sentence very hard to believe, especially after reading comments on Gransnet.

It doesn't really matter whether you believe it or not. Go on to the YouGov site and look for yourself! I'm well aware of YouGov's limitations, but the information is there in black and white.
