Eyewitnesses told the Daily Telegraph that a combined total of about 30 people took part in what appeared to be social events in different parts of Downing Street, before both gatherings combined in the garden.
Cabinet support isnt a brilliant guide - its often in their immediate interests to give the impression of loyalty to their current boss. Backbenchers have a different set of priorities and are where much of the action is to be found at a time like this. Backbenchers as in the majority of the parliamentary party that is, far beyond the smaller subset of backbenchers that tend to be the focus of that label at other times.Frankly the fact that he’s still there and most of his cabinet are still backing him makes me wonder if, like Trump, he’s going to remain in power despite such mind blowing catalogue of ineptitude, corruption and vileness, and it’ll be up to the electorate to kick him out.
It's terrible, absolutely. It's an insult to us all, but especially to people who lost loved ones, even moreso for those who couldn't even be with them to say goodbye, and nothing makes that not true or lessens it. But their inaction and greed from the outset of and their lack of preparation for anything like the initial pandemic in the first place before SARS-CoV-2 even arrived here was inexcusable. And before then let's not forget how massively damaging their cuts have been for thousands of people, their cruel benefits system due to which people have literally been starved and driven to suicide, while those fuckers live the life of Riley, and a lot of the British middle class didn't seem to give one fuck. And thought Johnson was a bit of a wag as well as someone who deserved to be in Number10. And that too is tragic.It's the least worst thing they've done? Not sure how you make that out. There's people abiding by the rules who've not been there when their partner's died, when their parent's died, because they were keeping to the rules while the fat pig Johnson and his chums were pissing it up in downing street. The hypocrisy and taking people for fools has made people really fucking angry. Because for many people this is an utter kick in the teeth
You think that's the least worst thing they've done? They have blood on their hands and mouton rothschild in their bellies
The cabinet is standing by to stab him. If this latest revelation doesn't bring him down, then the gray report will. Because we already know the facts and the report will just officially confirm them.Frankly the fact that he’s still there and most of his cabinet are still backing him makes me wonder if, like Trump, he’s going to remain in power despite such mind blowing catalogue of ineptitude, corruption and vileness, and it’ll be up to the electorate to kick him out.
Which wouldn’t be a terrible thing as it’d all but guarantee the Tories losing the next election (if the Americans managed to vote Trump out of office, so can we). Otherwise we have the very real risk of a next Tory leader winging it and winning yet again at the next election.
The only answer to that is that they shouldn't, but also they really should. Expect that's not on the script though.I'm currently temping at Test and Trace and have lost count of the number of people demanding of me when I ring them "Well why should I isolate when Boris and his mates think they can party in a lockdown?" I feel such a hypocrite sometimes, doing this job.

Malevolentia.So, whats the Latin for schadenfreude then?
I love the way Bongo's found a way of not being able to play out anymore just as all the kids on the Estate have acknowledged his big Chinny reckon.
I bet he's got his dad answering the door for him.
it annoys me this though...this is about the least worst of all the bad things the tories have done and its the one to cut through...theyve blood on their hands and billions of state money in their pockets and its a garden party thats the scandal.
Except for a passing photographerLet’s not forget that DJ Spad was mixing it up in Sunak’s basement whilst The Queen was mourning alone.

I'd be very tempted to say something like but no one wants to be like Boris Johnson do they.
