The reason why the Boris and Carrie story was pulled

Anita Anand on last Saturday's "Any Answers" on Radio 4 had callers phoning in to say, in effect, "they're all the same" but she recited a list starting with Owen Paterson in 2021 and continuing through a sordid catalogue of errant Tories, plus top civil servant Simon Case resigning over partygate and the Sue Gray report. She didn't even mention the Boris and Carrie on the sofa scandal or any of the other scandals before 2021.

It is worth listening if you are still in any doubt about the extent of Tory sleaze. Her list starts at 8mins 30secs from the start.

Just a thought - what would have been the story/reaction had it been a woman MP who'd been compromised in this way. I doubt her career would have progressed much further, let alone would she have become PM.

The images are coming thick and fast. I can’t take any more.

I’ve just put the bananas in the cupboard, I really don’t want to look at them whilst I’m eating a late lunch.

Oh pur..lease!!!! I am about to eat my lunch,,,,,

It was a mystery why Gavin Williamson was knighted. That could explain it.

It is generally accepted on Twitter that the person who walked in on them was Gavin Williamson.

Perish the thought!

As well as the fact he shouldn't have been having sexual relations in his office, he allegedly tried to get her a well paid, high security clearance post in the FO. I guess this could be construed as handing out government contracts (albeit work contracts) in exchange for sexual favours. How is this man in any position of authority let alone the PM of the uk?

Did you really have to post about that fat pink slug?
That’s another image I will never lose ?

Never buy a second hand sofa from the Foreign Office.

Nooooo?. I have just bleached my brain, and now I'm going to have to scour it, too.

Carrie sure earns her pampered lifestyle. ?

When you hear what these people get up to on a normal working day behind closed doors it's no surprise they can't tell a work event from a party.

Back in my day, it was the stationery cupboard that contained the action.

And mine lol....mind you, I worked for one of the big 4 banks, which were very sober places then, so I don't think they would have approved of sofas and oral doings ..?

AGAA4

If only the sofa in his office could talk. It must have seen a lot of action....... maybe not?

I want to know who paid for dry cleaning the sofa covers.

Yuk! It’s just nearly made me bring my fish and chips back up. ?

Why would that make them pull the story?

Perhaps they were showing consideration to members of the public Zoejory.
I know I am not alone in feeling sick at the very thought of that fat pink slug being on the receiving end of a BJ.

No wonder he was trying to find her a job in the Foreign office. Good grief I despair, what have we come to.

I don't think it's just politicians. Diana always said that Michael Fawcett did much more for Charles, every morning, than just spread his toothpaste on the brush...?
