On the substance that everyone's talking about, I think it's a party when the director of Communications for Boris Johnson at the time, now deputy editor of the Sun Newspaper, who was there at the event in question, describes it as a 'party'. It's a party. And Johnson will lie if he wants to. Just reminded me of those wonderful lyrics.  It's my party, and I'll lie if I want to Lie if I want to Lie if I want to You would lie too, if it happened to you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Operation Save Big Dog: Boris Johnson draws up plan for officials to quit over partygate so he can keep job | The Independent Throwing members of the civil service under a bus in an attempt to save Boris is an incredibly short sighted move by the Conservatives. Do they really want every parliamentary civil servant recording every tiny little thing any member of the party says so they can potentially use it as a defence if an attempt is made to do the same to them?

MPs, rightly, delegate admin activities to civil servants all the time - that's partly what civil servant are for. The PM sets the tone for what happens at No 10, if Boris had made it clear there were to be no parties during lockdown, there shouldn't have been any. You'll note the conspicuous absence of Tory MPs claiming parties were held against the PM wishes - a bit difficult when Boris attended at least one of them and we don't know how many other MPs attended them.  Quote The anti Tory Mob / anti Boris Mob / anti Democratic mob are always ringing LBC with alleged heartbreaking stories. It's the media who are guilty of inflicting pain on the genuine bereaved. The "anti Tory Mob" like the Royal Sutton Coldfield Conservative Association? Sutton Coldfield Tories vote unanimously against PM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
