Another Party

[goodgoalie]

Tomorrow's Telegraph has a story (bottom right, front page)about a 'boozy party' at No 10 while the Queen was mourning Prince Philip. Oh dear.....

oh dear. Nice Matt cartoon next to it.

How many blurdy parties have there been? Come to think of it, are they different parties or just one long one?

If/when Boris goes, so should every single person who attended any or all of them.

[goodgoalie]

As I said before on a different thread, I really don't understand why it's taken so long for this information to come out.

[ichkeria]

It’s not looking good for him.

[albaqwerty]

I agree, gg. Why wait?
Who stands to gain for this to come out now?
What is it a diversion from? (Ukraine perhaps???)

[jno]

everyone at one of these parties had a vested interest in it not coming out, I suppose, goodgoalie - until Cummings was sacked.

[ichkeria]

I watched Rees-Mogg, surely one of the most obnoxiously arrogant figures in politics, last night calling the leader of the Scottish Tories as a “lightweight” and then - dear me - standing up in parliament today and saying that a Tory should always support the leader. I wonder what Lady May thought when she heard that?
And now there’s a Red Waller calling Rees-Mogg an idiot.
Cats in a sack
?

[goodgoalie]

....but Cummings left at the end of 2020

[jno]

he's a patient man, goodgoalie. Notice how the stories are breaking one at a time, not as a big information dump.

[ichkeria]

I don’t think it’s the sort of thing anyone who was there would have wanted to boast about …

[THECORBYLOON]

At this rate, it would be better to list the dates when there weren't parties going on.

[jno]

I'm prepared to deny being at any of them, TCL. They must have mislaid my email address.

[jno]

deary me, these ones sent someone to the Co-Op to bring back bottles of wine in a suitcase. How plebeian! Liz Truss with her £3000 lunch is much more your traditional Tory

[Ken4155]

Quite obvious that those at Number 10 have driven a set of coaches and horses through the lockdown guidelines/rules. They've thrown more parties than Frank Gallagher!

[jno]

it may be all one party, just changing venues occasionally, like the oldest established permanent floating crap game in New York

[THECORBYLOON]

It was fortunate they had a suitcase handy to cart the bottles of wine from the Co-Op.

Classy.

[Ellipsis]

I was quite surprised by JRM. I thought he had a bit more about him than to go all ad hominem rather than take on the argument ...

[gness]

Could be quite a few suitcases to hand now, Corby.

[THECORBYLOON]

For Boris do you mean?
