Who is going to win the 2018/2019 Tory Leadership election?

[Argonia]

Wonder if he adopted the Mark Field manoeuvre on Carrie

Police initially doing their best to deny anything had actually happened.

When contacted by the Guardian on Friday, police initially said they had no record of a domestic incident at the address. But when given the case number and reference number, as well as identification markings of the vehicles that were called out, police issued a statement saying: “At 00:24hrs on Friday, 21 June, police responded to a call from a local resident in [south London]. The caller was concerned for the welfare of a female neighbour....

It was ever thus. The lapdogs of the rich and powerful. 'Nothing to see here move along' which is pretty much what they've done with that Mark Field cunt. Regardless of the fact that the Greenpeace activist doesn't want to press charges they should have arrested him for assault. But no.

The tax paying public?

The woman?

The woman?

Sorry I was being obtuse. Genuinely hope she was not hurt in any way.

Guess it is unlikely that anyone will know if she was hurt. She has been 'working on improving his image' so hopefully she knows a lost cause when she sees one. They both have a lot to lose but he is an unprincipled, disloyal narcissistic bully.

Some might say that she has been helping him appear better than he actually is. Given the blood on his hands regards Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe plus a trail of failure, marriage ending and wasted taxpayer money she does not strike me as a decent sort.

Not that this endorses any harm to her or anyone.

Can we get a Jeremy Vine special out of this?

Barely news. They've hardly covered the leadership campaign at all. Seem to have story about Hunt not keeping a promise to a dying man though. Odd that...

That bit is probably down to the computer system that the Met uses to despatch incidents (CAD), which will be 40 years old in 2024 (if it isn't replaced by then) and which uses codes to describe what sort of incident it is before any free text entries are made to elaborate further. There are two codes for domestics (non crime and crime) and a third for "concern for safety" - so if the incident went on as a concern for safety (which is what the statement says it went on as ), it would not turn up on a code search for domestics (which is the easiest way to find an incident on the system if you don't have the reference number but do have what time it happened and the area that the incident happened in).

It's on the front page of the News website? They are just reporting the Guardian report, but that's all there is really at the moment.

Yeah, they should have hosted a leadership debate in prime time on the main channel or something.

It wasn't there when I posted. Every other UK news site had it for about 2 hours.

I think you missed the point entirely tbf. Anyway.

"Seems Boris might not become Prime Minister"

(a) thank goodness, all our troubles are over
(b) if not de Piffle, then Cunt
(c) of course he fucking will

I’m sure the Telegraph will cover the story in fine detail

 

[Badgers]

Labour and left wing media conspiracy for sure.

Labour and left wing media conspiracy for sure.

have some shiny rewards:

Police were called to the home of Boris Johnson and his partner Carrie Symonds in the early hours of Friday morning after a neighbour heard screaming during an apparent row between the couple.

Miss Symonds was reportedly heard telling Mr Johnson to “get off me” and “get out of my flat”.

A neighbour living next door to Mr Johnson made a recording of the row before dialling 999, saying they were concerned for Miss Symonds’ safety.

The neighbour, who is not identified, then passed the recording to the left-wing Guardian newspaper.

BBC is covering it.

more bad press for south london.

I can't wait for them to move into no 10.

I think he might be done for tbh. What happens if he drops out? Surely it can't just be Hunt sliding into downing street by default?

Depends how bad the audio is I suppose.

Can see a big Sunday paper interview with them going on about passion or some rubbish

That's how May got there when Leadsom dropped out

I vaguely recall there was some plan to prevent that happening again, but I don't remember any of the details...

 

[binka]

If Johnson has to drop out I'm pretty sure they'll rerun the whole thing, they can't not put it to the members and then they can't just put gove in since more than half Tory MPs didn't choose either him or hunt

Really? Seems unlikely given all he's laughed off before. Big apology, cares so much, etc etc

 

[killer b]

There's a recording of a violent altercation and a woman screaming for him to get off her. Him refusing to leave her flat when repeatedly asked to. I mean... it might not be enough to do for him. But if I were one of the grey suits, I'd be handing him a revolver in the morning.

More likely Carrie will be pictured in the Sunday Telegraph strolling contentedly in the countryside with Boris at her side (she having been given a huge bung by anonymous Tory grandee to do so.)
beaten to it I see.
