PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

Unlike one or two posters earlier up, I'm not yet fully convinced that the Sue Gray report will be an utter whitewash ... :hmm: :confused:

I'm unable to go any further for now ... but I can't yet see Johnson being exhonerated completely .....
Even if it does turn out to be a 100% whitewash at that level, the throwing under the bus of civil servants could have further ramifications later. eg the stuff Cummings was going on about in terms of them seeking revenge at the covid public inquiry, or something more immediate via the press.

I suppose I expect it to be a mixd bag, as they try to balance between the pretence of impartiality, protecting powerful individuals, and actually managing to draw a line under things. Business as usual in that respect.
 
Ultimately the consequences that matter to him, assuming he doesn't give a shit about a fifty quid fine, are electoral aren't they. And they're only partially related to the actual content of the report - 'report criticises him, polls don't move, he sticks it out' and 'report largely exonerates him but enough swing voters think fuck this shit to shift the polls against him, Tories kick him out' are both perfectly plausible outcomes here.

So we already know his plan to get of the Gray report ahead of time.


I hope this is true.

A friend of Gray who has worked at a high level with her in the civil service said the report would make “gruesome” reading for both the prime minister and his most senior civil servants and that Gray was in no mood to be forced into watering down her findings.
 
I quite like Jo Coburn on the Daily Politics, and today she did well in terms of her ability to stick to the point. She is challenging without being aggressive simply in order to get on youtube.
I anticipate Laura Kuenssberg being poor, and wanting a lot of any interview to be about her.
Stick with Coburn.
