MET POLICE INVESTIGATING NO 10

Utter sham. Gray canā€™t publish whilst the Met investigates, theyā€™ll take so long that the whole thing will be forgotten about - or so the Tories hope.

How long before the investigation concluded do you reckon - 6 months?
 
As an aside Russ Jones has conveniently squeezed ā€œTory Britain into 36 bullet pointsā€ that cover the past 10 days.

1. The PM said heā€™d done nothing wrong, and had therefore apologised to the Queen for doing it

2. He claimed he hadnā€™t broken rules because nobody had told him the rules, which he wrote

3. He said heā€™d have to wait for Sue Gray to tell him whether the gathering of people drinking booze from a suitcase and playing on his swing during a DJ set was a party

4. He claimed it had taken him 25 minutes to realise this might not be a business meeting

5. Dominic Cummings said heā€™d "swear under oath" Boris Johnson green-lit parties

6. Dominic Raab said there hadnā€™t been a party, and he should know, cos the party was in his honour

7. And then Johnson hid in the back of a car, a fridge presumably not being readily available

8. Downing St said it was untrue the PM was warned ahead of the party

9. Reports said Sue Gray had the email warning the PM ahead of the party

10. And Downing St staff told newspapers it was ā€œinconceivableā€ a party could have happened without Johnsonā€™s approval

11. In no way to change the topic, the govt launched Operation Red Meat, a dazzlingly successful exercise in limited and specific failure, which I present to you in the following sub-thread.

a. the govt tweeted it was talking to Ghana about making our migrants go there for processing
b. Ghana said this was complete b***ks, and called Johnson's Operation Red Meat "Operation Dead Meat"
c. The govt deleted their Ghana tweet and pretended it didn't just happen
d. The govt said it was now entirely safe to lift Covid restrictions
e. Then the govt said we should excuse Johnsonā€™s behaviour ā€“ he was distracted because his child was very ill with that "entirely safe" Covid, which your kids must now risk without masks, because FREEDOM
f. Boris Johnson's emotional comfort turbot, Michael Gove, said he would continue ā€œlevelling up the countryā€
g. Then the levelling-up fund for public transport was cut by 50%
h. So itā€™s all going terrifically well, but enough Red Meat - back to the main thread...

(Hey, you try writing this **** without it getting complicated!)

12. Playdough nonentity Dominic Raab, said the Tory party was behind Johnson

13. Behind Johnson, David Davis stood up and told him to resign

14. And Christian Wakefield defected to Labour

15. And 5 other Tories are reported to be considering defecting

16. Govt whips were accused of blackmailing MPs into supporting Johnson

17. In a bold challenge to logic, the govt said they wouldnā€™t look for evidence of this unless they found evidence

18. 12 Tory MPs said it had happened to them

19. No, not that kind of evidence

20. MP Nusrat Ghani said sheā€™d been sacked as a minister because she was told ā€œMuslim women [made her] colleagues feel uncomfortableā€

21. Chief Whip Mark Spencer tweeted he never used the words attributed to him

22. They hadnā€™t been attributed to him

23. He then deleted the tweet

24. Then he had what seemed to be a bit of a breakdown, and wrote the tweet again, this time denying any such event had ever happened

25. Then No10 said they had discussed the thing that didnā€™t happen with Nusrat Ghani in July

26. It was reported chief whip Mark Spencer spends most of his days inventing dazzlingly clever new insults for his colleagues-

27. The most Wildean examples include:

- Anthony Mangnall = Anthony W@nknall

- Tom Tugendhat = Tom Tugentw@t

28. Mark Spencer is 52 years old

29. It was suggested the Chief Whip might not be very good, compared to the previous occupant of the role

30. To put this into context, the previous guy was Gavin Williamson, a supernaturally incompetent lurching tower of wrong wearing the teeth of a starved horse

31. Even so, PMs suggested bringing Williamson back, which means a Staffordshire village will soon need to advertise for a new idiot, but at least weā€™d have a non-blackmailing Chief Whip

32. It was immediately reported Williamson had also engaged in blackmailing colleagues

33. As part of her ploy to replace Johnson, Liz Truss, ITV4 made flesh, claimed sheā€™d resolve Brexit in a month, a prediction previously made by

- David Davis (2016)

- Theresa May (2017)

- Liam Fox (2018)

- Jacob Rees-Mogg (2019)

- Boris Johnson (2020)

- and Lord Frost (2021)

34. As part of Rishi Sunakā€™s ploy to replace Johnson, he said he would look after the finances and had "low tax dreams"

35. He then decided not to even bother chasing Ā£4.3 billion of fraudulent Covid claims

36. And he introduced the highest taxes for 28 years



37. And AAAARGH!!
 
' He then decided not to even bother chasing Ā£4.3 billion of fraudulent Covid claims'

In addition, didn't he pay out Ā£5bn to companies situated in tax havens
 
Can I just say the followingā€¦ā€¦ (but without the conspiracy theory loon element that accompanied the original Trump supporter chantā€¦.)

Lock Him Up!
 
Sue Gray is a senior civil servant. She should be called before the relevant Parliamentary Committee and asked, without revealing any of itā€™s contents, the closest approximate time she thinks it will be complete.
Because we are never going to get any idea from a Cabinet Office spokesperson.
 
I think we got A preview of how that white wash will look today in the tories response to answers in the house..,


Conservative MP asks for 'sense of proportion'​

Conservative MP Sir Edward Leigh says Europe stands on the brink of war and there is a cost of living crisis.
"Can we please have a sense of proportion over the prime minister being given a piece of cake in his own office by his own staff," he says.
"I completely agree," replies minister Michael Ellis.

Does it get more brazen
 
'Back in the Commons Lia Nici (Con) claimed her constituents were ā€œsick and tiredā€ of hearing opposition MPs go on continually about partygate. She asked Michael Ellis, the minister, to pass on to the PM their support, and their desire for him to carry on implementing his policies.'

I only caught a bit of the 1 o'clock lunchtime BBC 1 news.

It was on in the background but I'm sure Dix said the Met are now acting because she is 'satisfied of the following 3 points'. The only one I really heard was that they had to be sure that any laws broken, were in the full knowledge that they were, indeed, breaking the law.

Here's me thinking that ignorance of the law is no defence.

I thought that too when I saw it. I am sure people have been fined when they weren't aware that they were going to be breaking lockdown guidance.
