The fact journalists socialise with these people is nine tenths of the problem.


Agreed.

 

The Westminster bubble has a literal manifestation with the schleps.

 

Its just a boys club who have somehow managed to subvert democracy by each one washing the others hand clean.

 

I can not wait until they have their figurative days in the stocks.

I’d imagine the vast majority of Tory MPs will think “this is Johnson’s mess, let him go out and face the music”.

 

Downing Street comms pulled all minsters, so it came from him, though we'll not be sure if this was a reaction to him being told to 'fuck off' by them.

If it was just journalists and civil servants why they just throw them under the bus?

Ir has their  denu everything baldrovk policy come back to bite them on the arse?

 

I think I'd be aware if there was a party in my house and I don't have a dedicated team and security detail.

 

It's on him if it happened there, even if he can weasel out of actually being there, he's still 'the boss' and it happened in his gaff and on his watch.

She went too hard in her report of it last night, it'd be a sacking offence if she was there as she would lose all credibility.

 

Shame...

She’d already seen what happened to Kay Burley and Beth Rigby at Sky when they broke the rules. There would have been no coming back for a BBC journalist if they had so brazenly broken the rules, surely?

Quote

A senior Tory MP told the Guardian: “The handling of the Owen Paterson affair showed the PM didn’t think the rules applied to his friends. This video demonstrates that’s a view widely shared in No 10 by very senior political advisers, appointed by the PM. People prevented by the government from seeing their loved ones at the end of their life will feel like they’re being taken for fools.”

 

No, people won't feel like they've been taken for fools. They'll feel devastation and guilt because they obeyed the rules for the good of wider society while their loved ones died alone.

True. Be interesting how the next round of Covid restrictions go down.
