I have zero idea how I would even begin explaining that position to my partner.Surely a normal person would have resigned on the spot and left the party after being fecked over like that?

The mail in being a shit show shocker
It was after lockdown restrictions were eased...So Boris drinking outdoors with staff is a story but Keir inside drinking with staff is a non story? They're all as bad as each other.
It was legal at the time.So Boris drinking outdoors with staff is a story but Keir inside drinking with staff is a non story? They're all as bad as each other.
You are literally the type of person the sun were targeting with that story.So Boris drinking outdoors with staff is a story but Keir inside drinking with staff is a non story? They're all as bad as each other.
Wait till they start finding photographs (real and 'doctored') of MP''s who picked their noses during lockdown, and/or who didn't wash their hands for 20 seconds or more after using the toilet and/or walked ten yards amongst the public without a mask, and/or who did something else they shouldn't have done during lockdown.So Boris drinking outdoors with staff is a story but Keir inside drinking with staff is a non story?

Agh, fair enough then!It was legal at the time.

I'm confused.

This was a serious issue with real personal and political gravitas for Boris and the Tory party to face up to, but as usual sections of the media and some political opponents, went on a 'shopping spree' to see what else they could find and thereby produced overkill. By his apology in the House Boris has shot their fox, right in the middle of the hunt, but the news hounds don't know and are still running around like headless chickens, looking for clandestine parties in offices, corridors and loos, all over Westminster.
What a shower of 'sh**!

Wrong. This was not during a period of Covid restrictions.So Boris drinking outdoors with staff is a story but Keir inside drinking with staff is a non story? They're all as bad as each other.
They may well find photos of non Tory politicians partying during Covid restrictions.Wait till they start finding photographs (real and 'doctored') of MP''s who picked their noses during lockdown, and/or who didn't wash their hands for 20 seconds or more after using the toilet and/or walked ten yards amongst the public without a mask, and/or who did something else they shouldn't have done during lockdown.

Tell me what you are confused about and I will try to explain.I'm confused. Elaborate.
Do I? I wouldn't know I am not on Facebook... is that good or bad?You write with such Facebook prose.
Yes that maybe true, but by the time the story has been embellished or retold another way, another day, about another party etc. it will have 'lost its legs' in terms of the media's interest especially if the public will be looking elsewhere, and the potency of the original charge against Boris will have been watered down by the telling and the re-telling of the tale... also don't forget Blair was known as 'Teflon Tony and it wasn't the public who got rid of him, it was Gordon Brown's heavy mob! Made him an offer he couldn't refuse... apparently!However, in the court of public opinion, he is guilty. And as Tony Blair knows, the public has a long memory.
Was this definitely the case? I thought there were still restrictions when this happened?It was after lockdown restrictions were eased...
It was at a local counselor’s office on the campaign trail for local elections in the evening whilst having dinner. Clearly this is much worse than the going’s on in 10 Downing Street and Keir should be deported back to Eastern Europe the friggin immigrant.Was this definitely the case? I thought there were still restrictions when this happened?
I am aware it was an evening working dinner. I was questioning the point about no restrictions in place. I thought there were. I only ask as on FB I have a barm pot Tory sharing this picture on multiple threads and I would like to conclusively refute this story.It was at a local counselor’s office on the campaign trail for local elections in the evening whilst having dinner.

Nadine Dorries: BBC licence fee announcement will be the last

It's been on the cards for long enough and no surprise given shite like below. I just think people should be careful what they wish for. I'm sure there must be a massive overlap between people who moan about 'woke' crap being rammed down their throats on Dr Who, but love Attenborough's nature programmes. Idiots will moan when there's an ad break in their Eastenders shite too.Nadine Dorries: BBC licence fee announcement will be the last

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...tiality-Boris-Johnson-partygate-coverage.htmlThe clip lasted one minute and 54 seconds, but no more than 20 seconds were afforded to the Government and Prime Minister’s position.
I'm torn a bit. Although, I have been calling for the BBC to go subscription . Knowing that Murdoch owned papers are delighted by this news does not bode well for any kind of impartiality left in UK media.It's been on the cards for long enough and no surprise given shite like below.

Also, what was the point of that embarrassing law about public service broadcasters having to champion Britain and 'British values' in their programming, when the government was hellbent on dismantling all public service broadcasting TV anyway?

Yeah but they're doing it to stop pensioners going to jail and being harassed for not having a TV license, which is because Dorries cancelled their free ones. So it's totes legit.Nadine Dorries is a fecking cnut. They’ve been fecking the BBC for ages and this is ‘punishment’ for what they perceive to be unfair reporting.
This is probably the most despicable government I’ve seen in my lifetime.
They’ll just be going to jail for failure to pay their energy bills anyway so may as well keep tv licenceYeah but they're doing it to stop pensioners going to jail and being harassed for not having a TV license, which is because Dorries cancelled their free ones. So it's totes legit.

At this point I don't care for more stories coming out. It's abundantly clear he didn't follow lockdown rules. Learning about each and every time he didn't is becoming tedious, he clearly was at it every weekTweet

The licence model is somewhat archaic, although I don't need to pay it anymore after leaving the UK, but yep, even though I've been pissed with Laura K's simpering toward the government, anything that strengthens the DM, Sun et al's hand is obviously bad.I'm torn a bit.
