Is this tantamount to gagging order?

Time for Proportional Representation - too much power in one party we do not live in a democracy. Reading Jasmine Alibai-Brown this week, her contacts in Africa told her that Britain is now a Banana Monarchy - so true.

Coming from that women, and Africa, no notice taken. Africa is riddled with corruption so pot kettle etc.

What a daft comment, Lincslass. If Africa is riddled with corruption then they will be truly expert at identifying fellow banana republics. You surely know the old saying "It takes one to know one"?

(Mind you, 'Africa' is not a country, but an enormous continent containing many individual countries. It's probably incorrect and insulting to label the entire continent as corrupt)

Next time a Johnson apologist trots out the "we all did it" or "what a fuss about a bit of cake" defences, here's a handy reference for how all the excuses they've come up with don't amount to a hill of beans. Good riposte to the Oh, but vaccines! cry as well.

Do read the splendid column by Matthew Paris in yesterday's Times headed " Spineless Tories know that Johnson must go ".He says what a lot of us are thinking.Where are the Tories who will speak out.
"One is put in mind of Jeremy Corbyn's catastrophic leadership of the Labour Party , and the cringeworthy media interviews with perfectly sane Labour MPs feigning positivity." This as he quotes the pathetic excuses churned out.

Senior Tories have joined opposition MPs in demanding the report on No 10 lockdown parties be published in full.

MP Sir Christopher Chope accused the Met Police of an "abuse of power", amid concerns senior civil servant Sue Gray will leave out crucial findings.

Doubts over how complete the report will be came after the Met asked her to make "minimal reference" to events they are looking at.

The longer it takes to publish this report, the less likely most of us are to believe the contents. The problem I have is that I don't believe anything that Johnson says, once a liar, always a liar as far as I am concerned. Those members of the public who excuse him because 'he was working hard' or 'it's only a bit of cage, get over it' are worse than Johnson himself, they are falling for the propaganda and failing to see what this is really about; a liar in charge.
