The Sue Gray report and the aspersions cast upon it's veracitty in light of Starmer hiring her were originally posted on the Starmer thread but I suppose this really belongs here or maybe the Dorries thread. Dorries allowed to carry on completely uninterrupted making all kinds of claims wrt to Gray's integrity. BBC 'inerviewer' really shite:
I was astounded that they gave her so much time and didn't even challenge her, let alone cut her off when she started making potentially actionable defamatory remarks. In fact I was amazed they gave her any time at all.
Which, ironically, is a lie.Faced with the question of being a liar or a thick cunt, his defence is the latter.
I see they misspelt should as would, gi'us a job as a proofreader lads
It's also a problem that Stanley Johnson, massive arsehole that he is, is exactly the kind of person who blusters, lies, cheats and weasels his racist self to a knighthood anyway. If it were anyone other than his son doing the nominating, this would be just another stock standard example of the honours list. When Christopher Chope, Gavin Williamson, and Danny Alexander are all knights of the realm, why not Johnson Sr?this fucking guy.
in a way i dont blame him for any of it it was obvious what sort of man he was all along, the real problem is what is wrong with this country that led to him smirking and chortling his way up to Prime Minister in the first place.‘Ridiculous’: opponents pour scorn on Boris Johnson’s plan to knight his father

It would be nice if the people of Somerset North subscribe to that come the next election, rather than returning the right honourable member for victorian values.There must be a lot of people who feel that way, and maybe johnson was bad enough to change things somehow, like the instinctive deference to men who have a posh voice and know two words of latin maybe he's managed to make a dent in that?
When they talk to a family member about nepotism you know journalism is dead. If they have to do this, they should have picked Boris’s brother who was already made a Knight after he resigned from the cabinet.
He was made a Lord, meaning he sits on the legislature, unelected, until he dies.they should have picked Boris’s brother who was already made a Knight after he resigned from the cabinet.
Ok, I didn’t know the distinction. Just read that Lord is higher than Knight. Is that right? So, Johnson senior won’t sit in the House of Lords?He was made a Lord, meaning he sits on the legislature, unelected, until he dies.
No, not with a knighthood. Only barons, viscounts, earls and their female equivalents. Plus the odd bishopOk, I didn’t know the distinction. Just read that Lord is higher than Knight. Is that right? So, Johnson senior won’t sit in the House of Lords?

I can imagine there are a lot of odd bishops there.No, not with a knighthood. Only barons, viscounts, earls and their female equivalents. Plus the odd bishop
When Sky News and Tortoise Media launched the Westminster Accounts project at the start of the year, Theresa May was the highest earner - but in just a few months, Boris Johnson has shot to the top of the league table.
Boris Johnson earned 85% of all the outside pay generated by MPs this year, Sky News can reveal.
The former prime minister has declared earnings of £4.8m, mostly since stepping down from Downing Street in speeches and book deals, the latest update to the Westminster Accounts by Sky News can reveal. Some £3.7m of this was earned in just the first six weeks of this year, on top of the basic MP salary of £84,144.
That's no great surprise, besides he has many children and women to support.Look at how much the monster twat has earnt in the 6 months since he was forced out as PM, it's frankly sickening.
