Changing their name, politics, and leader might assuage an angry public. But nothing will work better than a new leader issuing a mea culpa and embarking forthwith with the rest of the parliamentary conservative party for South Georgia to expiate their sins by passing through the penguins' bowels

So, Johnson seems pretty confident he can ride this out. As everything is being pinned on this Sue Gray investigation would I be wrong to suspect he already knows the outcome? She's going to produce the findings she has been told.

Mistakes were made, grey areas. Everyone acted in best interest but should have considered impact more. Lessons have been learned.

 

[Raheem]

I doubt he can be very confident. He just knows he doesn't want to go.

When HM finally does depart the stage I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they pivoted to “Boris would make a good King”.

Well, he'd be better entertainment value than Charlie...

Cabinet ministers are "rallying round". All is well.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

I want him to stay. The longer he’s there the worse it gets for them. While some political fuckups may be quickly forgotten, I doubt those who watched loved ones die via zoom will let this go quite so easily.

I doubt he has much to fear from the "inquiry"

Sue Gray: How ‘partygate’ investigator stonewalled transparency campaign

‘No confidence’ in civil servant after her involvement with Cabinet Office’s ‘Orwellian’ Clearing House, campaigner says

www.opendemocracy.net

The top civil servant investigating alleged illegal lockdown parties at Downing Street is “not a person that believes in open and full disclosure”, according to a campaigner who has spent years fighting for information in a public inquiry.

Sue Gray, who has been appointed to oversee the party probe, is infamous in the world of information transparency. She once urged officers not to respond to a Freedom of Information request, citing the Chilcot Inquiry into the Iraq war as an example of how to “releas[e] information in a managed way” in documents previously seen by openDemocracy.

Gray is now the second permanent secretary at the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities. MPs and media have feted her as “formidable” and “the most powerful civil servant you've never heard of”.

But campaigner Jason Evans says she isn’t fit to run the investigation into Downing Street parties because of her involvement in the stonewalling of Freedom of Information requests within the Cabinet Office dating back years.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm happy for him and his coterie of cunts to carry on dragging this out as long as possible. The radio is full of lifelong Tory voters stating they'll never vote for them again, many of whom couldn't see loved ones in hospital or even attend their funerals.

This cuts through political outlooks, philosophies and policies. Just the sheer pain and hypocrisy of the situation. And still he squirms and smirks.

never mind the result of the investigation - how long though till the next Johnsons fiasco? - yet another party revelation, another sleaze story, another car crash u turn, a peppa pig stylee clown show - they've been happening every few weeks for months and I dont see that pattern changing. He has run out of road.

But the only people they could elect are likely to be even worse than he is. Truss would be hilarious, Sunaks veneer of competence would be shattered by all his spending cuts…

Major only won because Kinnock was crap, but now Labour are led by…. ohh.

I'm not sure any of that stuff really matters tbh. While I'm sure Gray would be happy to conduct a whitewash, whitewashes have to have some semblance of plausibility to be accepted, and just on the information that's already in the public domain - and we can be sure there's more that will emerge - the route to a plausible whitewash looks impossible to me.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

I think the point of hiding behind a report is more to delay until it's all blown over and the pressure is off than to clear his name isn't it. I don't see that working here to be honest, there's just too much piling up now. He needs a quiet period of not making himself look like a cunt for a bit for it to happen and that's not really his strong suit.

You have more faith then I do.

It seems to me all the gray (ha) areas are there to be used as needed. The crossover between home and place of work. The crossover between work and social event. People working under extreme pressure in an unprecedented time making misjudgements but for honest reasons. No laws were broken.

What are you imagining I have faith in? Gray may or may not produce a whitewash - I'd say there's a reasonable chance she won't, but even if she does I can't see how it'll work - who would it convince? The facts are already known.

 

[A380]

I feel somewhat cheated. Went on to Conservative Home in the hope of a treat - I am a bad person I know. Disappointingly only a tiny number of proper swivel eyed loons banging on about how the thrusting tumescence of the greatest Pm since Churchill / Thatch has been brought down by the baying mob of MSM, dark web and liberals. Many more posts just talking, rationally from a tory perspective, about the timing of getting rid of him.

It's not fair; where's the fun in that?

I brought my own booze and other such things to that one... Didn't realise I was there til I got back..

(And that is more true than Johnson's fucking bollocks.)

 

[Sprocket.]

We regularly had parties at work, the biggest problem was squashing and disposing of the beer cans before the management turned up for the day shift.

That a whitewash report won't let him on the hook and he'll just carry on as normal. His MP's will fall back in-line and the press will move on. If he can cling on another 6-8 months it'll all be back to jolly old Johnson doing his thing again.

Oh, I think an Eton education helps one be very confident in any situation.

 

[Chilli.s]

Anything that makes the tory party look like a bunch of corrupt, lying, self centered, moneygrabbers is fine by me. This turns out to be the one thing that BJ excels at, hope he stays for much longer

not a chance. it is only going to get worse for him - and right now his chin is only just above the water.

 

[existentialist]

Yeah, let's face it, there has to be more lurking and waiting to come out.

And the irony is that the more he pisses off the Tories - who will be the ones with the texts and pics - the more likely there will be further leaks.

Death of a thousand cu(n)ts. #popcorn #deckchair

Grimly hilarious was Sunak waiting till very late yesterday before tweeting his - qualified - support for Johnson. Clearly waiting to see if enough shit was going to fly to warrant sticking the knife in.

This tactic will stand him in good stead with the Tories. It shows his level of sneakiness and sly attitude. Good traits for that shower.
