Boris Claims Nobody Warned Him

[Stickybottle]

that the drinks party was against the rules

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-60039868

This has a breaking news headline banner on the bbc

This is a direct rebuttal to Dominic Cummings claims
2 Downinf Street officials back Cummings saying that he had to Boris as much but Boris waved it aside

Why such a headline from the bbc ? Is the death knell sounding for Boris ?

^^:0)))))

If Cummings was Russian he would have been poisoned by now.

If you are referring to DC I am not sure there is proof that he did attend

If you are referring to BJ it is because he is a proven liar with a disregard for the rules and a disrespect for the British public
Just in case you were as unsure as Boris often is

Stickybottle, https://news.sky.com/story/dominic-cummings-says-photo-of-boris-johnson-in-no-10-garden-was-no-party-but-claims-there-was-another-rule-breaking-bash-12511243

Strange how a couple of years ago Cummings was practically the Devil incarnate ... not a word of his to be trusted.

[Teapots1]

A couple of years ago we trusted Boris? 2 years on.......

[dannyk13]

Naomi.I wouldn't trust anything that comes out of Cumming's mouth but ,in this case, he is backed up by Robert Peston who I have always felt was a trustworthy individual.

[Stickybottle]

Thanks for the confirmation naomi

So DC admits to being at the cheese and wine party
That one has been addressed and is parked

This story and furore is about the previous one that DC was not in attendance at
The one that BJ had to apologise for in Parliament last week

Nice try with the smokescreen though !

[naomi24]

I’ve not posted a smokescreen, stickybottle.. I’ve posted a news report.

Danny, how does a left-leaning journalist know the truth? Was he there?

[dannyk13]

Naomi // Was he there?
Check my link at 14.01

I expect Cummings has the proof.
He is just waiting for Sue Gray to exonerate Boris, and he will release the Whatsapp message to ITV.

You tried to imply that DC was at the party he specifically questioned BJ about and told him it would break the rules
You got your events timeline wrong

You sound like Boris

Well if the PM who was there does not know the truth then I guess we will have to go with the journo ! Lol
Your blind loyalty to Boris is staggering to behold

No doubt he has
This is like watching a cat toying with a mouse
Cummings is giving Boris every chance to fall in his sword before releasing further bombshells
Maybe he is waiting to catch them all out by waiting to see how supposedly thorough and damning the Gray report will be before finally putting Boris out of his misery ?

[sandyRoe]

Didn't he write the rules?

[Stickybottle]

sandyRoe
Didn't he write the rules?

That appears not to matter
None apply to him
He cannot recall which do and which do not
Despite categorically denying that none were broken though !

[naomi24]

Danny, I checked your link. I can’t see that he was there - but he’s certainly getting his oar in.

Stickybottle, I am loyal to Boris. He saved us from Corbyn in the most spectacular manner, he’s seen us through Brexit and Covid, the vaccination rollout and support for businesses and those who could not work has been second to none, and still the economy is on the up. I can’t think of anyone else who would or could have done what he’s done. I think it would be a great pity - and an enormous mistake - to ditch him now especially for something so petty. But there you are. The knives are out, the bandwagons are rolling, his enemies are salivating in gleeful expectation, and the self-serving bitter slime ball that is Cummings is suddenly flavour of the month with people who two years ago hated him. Yes indeed, people are, as always … people. That’s the reason I like dogs more.

No
Nor I
His flagrant disregard for rules of office and lack of accountability and sincerity to parliament and the public alike are shocking

[dannyk13]

Naomi, if it is proved that Boris has been lying it can not be excused by the the fact that he did good things in the past.

[douglas9401]

I don't suppose there's any chance that Carrie's husband was already well oiled when he arrived and the detail has passed from memory.

Someone check if he's really Rowley Birkin QC.

You’ll be glad when he’s gone then. Okay.
