Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
I think we need to stage an intervention at this point. It seems Whitehall is smashed all the time.

You surely didn’t think this was the behaviour of people who are normally sober?

One of the more plausible defences I've heard!

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
Do we think that’s a bottle of the old wife beater? Seems more apt for a politician the neighbours phone the police on. Although not since he got new neighbours.

The scenario where Johnson survives is fairly simple.

Sounds familiar…

But that is fair enough. It is the facts we need to know. And if it’s as bad as it looks, we all know how that will end.

If you care to address my post in full I’ve quoted it below. Otherwise I’ll leave you to provide the late night comedy.

“Hate” quite frequently in relation to Johnson. As if it’s impossible that, devoid of emotion, anyone has simply reached the conclusion that he’s exceeded his usefulness (if indeed, he ever had any at all).
He’s not a Conservative in any traditional sense. His unification of the party related to one issue, and one only. One that he seized the opportunity of after famously penning two articles such was his lack of conviction for either side of the argument.
A populist is only useful to the extent they remain popular. And the mask has well and truly slipped

You go around in circles, jfman, that was answered ages ago. Boris clarified that he wrote two articles to clarify in his mind which was the better of the two options, and that’s when he realised that Brexit would be best for Britain.
Boris’s popularity has taken a nosedive, but he will bounce back again. He always does.

I should think so too. She should have downed the lot - what a waste of good booze.

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
People have asked why none of the officers policing Downing Street noticed/reported any of these "work meetings with suitcases of wine"?
Who will ever know?
On a totally unrelated note, here is an article from the October 2020 edition of the Spectator, about a Met Police Deputy Assistant Commissioner who was "the ‘executive lead’ for frontline policing on Covid".
