Apart from all the references to the individuals who were organising the events knowing they were completely wrong, and then doing it anyway. I think people need to reflect on the restrictions in place when many of these events happened in 2020 and early 2021. People were dying, getting married, giving birth, celebrating religious and cultural holidays etc. in isolation or with minimal support, whilst the culture at the Prime Minister's house and office was to enforce and promote these rules, then completely ignore them and only worry about the optics of how it might look to get caught.Is that it? What a wet lettuce of a report. Nothing really new there.
That’s Dame Sue Gray to you and I.+£500,000 to Sue Grays bank account today.
Yes they will, a) when enough of his fellow Tories fear losing a GE and ditch him; b) or at a GE, when hopefully Labour has eventually found its way out of the paper bag and can mount a real political challenge, with game-changing policies (please just 1 will do!!), to win over enough support, in both England and Scotland; remember without sufficient Labour MP's in Scotland, they have no chance of power at Westminster!Political arguments will absolutely not remove him. You can't have a constructive argument with someone who just blusters and lies about everything. How do you think that Labour can currently politically argue him out of office?

At this stage only murder or paedophilia would definitely see him outed. He’d even have defenders lining up for him for most forms of sexual assault.Johnson will ride this out
BoJo fecking a pig would see the Tories win 500 seats at the next election. This is the real black mirror!At this stage only murder or paedophilia would definitely see him outed. He’d even have defenders lining up for him for most forms of sexual assault.
The bolded should be your tagline.It wont be partygate that gets him out of office it will be the cost of living raging away out of control.
The problem is Labour is once again being deflected by the media, yes for those who lost loved ones and suffered in not being able to grieve properly the pain will always be there that some one in Government was out celebrating, but you know what, on the street where I live 85% of the households broke the rules. It made my piss boil at the time because of personal matters, but the truth is a very large section of the public at differing times broke the rules, or simply just ignored them, and now these people are just staring down at their feet and saying nothing, because they were doing things they should not have... Boris and his cronies are not the only guilty ones, try speaking to someone you know who broke the rules, see what response you get.
It does bother alot of people who voted Conservative in the last election, those who followed the rules or lost loved ones and couldn't be as present as they wanted.Wasn't inclined to throw Widow a rope but now that one's died down I do feel the need to admit I do find the partygate shit extremely boring.
People should crack on with it, if they think it's doing long term damage to the Conservative Party (I wouldn't rule it out, pretty agnostic on that) but personally it doesn't rank in the top 100 things that have bothered me about the last 12 years.
But at what point do the British public wake up and say enough is enough. There isn't one subject he hasn't lied about, whether it's partygate, brexit, vaccines, lockdown, investment, everything is a lie. Forget Labour, why do the British people want to be lied to?Yes they will, a) when enough of his fellow Tories fear losing a GE and ditch him; b) or at a GE, when hopefully Labour has eventually found its way out of the paper bag and can mount a real political challenge, with game-changing policies (please just 1 will do!!), to win over enough support, in both England and Scotland; remember without sufficient Labour MP's in Scotland, they have no chance of power at Westminster!
In the interim, with an 80 seat majority a man like Boris is virtually fireproof. The continual focusing on partygate, something that is beyond repudiation now, and that Boris has now admitted and apologised for... and paid his fine. Something that lots of people around the country are feeling perhaps a bit sheepish/guilty about themselves, because they broke the rules too, and don't want reminding everyday.
The raging rises in the pipeline on the cost of living should be in Labours sights now, morning, noon and night, nothing else should deflect them, ditch the so called Labour inclined 'press comforters' and get after the political left wing journalists to do their job!
You can mount a constructive argument against Boris but only when the whole country is behind you (i.e. not half feeling guilty themselves about breaking lockdown rules) and you are continually on his back over both the cost of living explosion and also asking what will happen to his 'levelling -up' agenda now!
If, Boris and the Tories get their 'second wind' on dealing with the cost of living rises and they are slowly looking like they might just eventually stumble on something that sounds as if it might actually work, especially for those who are hardest hit and in the meantime Labour is still blithering on about partygate, then all is lost for a generation at least.
