Maybe her husband had stopped taking the bins out?
Wish I wasn't too proud to beg for money off rich people to redecorate.
Maybe I'll email my mp to ask them?
I'm sure there was no connection between throwing cash at the PM and gaining a meeting about this 'Great Exhibition 2.0' with the Culture Secretary a few months later (18/1/21 on this listing).
Is the great exhibition going ahead or has he got a refund with interest?
I dont think its been made clear where Johnson magically got the money from to pay it off has it?

It’s not just that. Have you seen it? It’s beyond hideous. Liz or Rishi are going to rip it straight out when they move in in May and we’re going to have to foot the bill for the refit

Something (renamed...) is still going ahead later in the year. It's in the Guardian I think.

That isnt the flat but just a showcase example of her work. I dont think there are any photos of the flat itself in the public domain.
That said I wouldnt be confident it isnt equally hideous. I know if I was looking for a designer and got handed that in the portfolio of previous work they wouldnt make it to the shortlist.
I’d happily sit there until my table was ready and peruse the menu with a pint of Cobra in my hand.
Who doesn’t like a good curry house?
Nice early pic of Nandor the Relentless on the right there.
Looks like the Scottish system is going to prosecute Margaret Ferries who broke covid rules.
Sadly doesn't set precedent for England MP's, Ministers and party goers.

The thing that gets me is that he’s allegedly paid back the money,it’s not the smallest sum to just find down the back off the sofa, just shows the absolute difference between Boris reality and the rest of us.
Apart from the other fact that who spends that type of money on a rented flat that goes with a temporary job.
And he may have have the odd divorce and child support as well.
Most people I know in his position in the real world are usually not awash in cash.

The issue being where did those funds come from to "pay back the loan" Johnson does not have that much money

Someone recently married to a woman whose enormous sense of entitlement even dwarfs his own
As appears to be so often the case, it’ll have been Carrie Antionette calling the shots on this one
If he paid it back from his own pocket, he could have afforded it in the 1st place.
Presume he’s just done a better job of hiding the source this time. Lying ****er. I can just imagine him hiding in the bog whilst she’s stood outside arms folded tearing strips off him.

This actually seems to be the only thing that appears to register with Tory voters…
He had a garden party when we couldn’t
^^ Yeah, it's odd isn't it. Of all the multitude of things the electorate have reason to really dislike Boris for this one seems too stick. 150k dead? Nah...
That said, im definitely feeling a, "the news had moved on now" vibe from the news outlets in the main.
We shall see.
I'm sure the police are ready to pounce on the offenders...

he didn't Someone paid it for him
100 people were there! Police waved them in. It boggles my mind that they all thought this was ok.

Still won't be the end of him though, even if he's found guilty! Teflon had better be worried, there's a new kid in town who is even less likely to have any old shite stick to it.
My morbid curiosity wants to know what scandal will eventually sunk him but I know that getting to the point of finding out is dangerous.
Suppose the last resort is to throw the mrs and the kids under the bus, she made me do it, it was all her idea the parties the wallpaper the green taxes, inflation and brexit.

100 invited but 'only' 30-40 turned up is how I read it...some people jus don' wanna party with Johnson.

Driving over the Downing Street cat?
I do wonder if many/most people have been groomed into IDGAF since no-one else does. Dangerous defeatism if it were true. I've never known a PM more detested and yet he carries on unchallenged.

Would it actually surprise anyone if he did that?
Surely any child born to Johnson will always be just a future maintenance payment, and Carrie Antoinette is bright enough to know she won’t be the last Mrs Johnson any more than she was the last mistress?
His 'buyer's remorse' comment could easily be flagging up that he's already widening the circle of his friends.

Nothing you can do, there's no general election next week.
He's just the shite magnet to take whatever Shite gets thrown before they replace him.
Why change over leader when there's a pefectly good Boris shaped scapegoat to absorb all the shite that's about to blow, he'll take the bullet for covid,brexit and the corruption then the new Tory leader will rise up like a phoenix from the ashes sin free 🙂

Only if the offence was comitted less than 12 months ago. Does this also apply to HMRC? asking for a friend.

This is exaclty how it will play out, it's almost like it's totally predictable.
Then we'll get Sunak or Truss to start the cycle all over again, they are untouchable until the next election, and it wouldn't supprise me one iota if they win the next GE too.
It’ll be the local elections in May that do for him.
Up until that point he could stroll into parliament and curl one out at the despatch box, and nobody will move against him. They want him to take the fall for all the councils they’re about to lose, then he’s done
The problem for the Tories is that they look around at the alternatives and even they know that the current crop of mushrooms they've been growing in a darkened cellar are more repulsive to the public than usual

Please let out be Truss, older let it be Truss.
1) I like a bit of comedy.
2) I'm also worried that despite the appalling government we have that has truly shown it's colours... there is an enemy of the electorate that will STILL vote for them. Truss is the best chance of that not happening. Sunak worries me, both in his potential electability and good evident hard on for austerity V2.0.
Can you imagine another decade of austerity, it would be f****** horrific.

I'm not so sure, Rishi will appeal to the red wall/ethnic voters on the back of the Furlough thing, and Truss is a nice blonde bimbo to appeal to the traditional tories.
I suspect Truss will be put forward if theres a leadership contest between now and the next GE, with dishy rishy staying as chancellor.
Attention! Cheer me up, any, even tenuous rumours, that Priti was at the festival party?

I suspect she will stay in the cabinate, maybe shifted roles in a 'reshuffle'. Does that comfort you?
how Johnson and co view the electorate

Possibly, yes. Fingers crossed.
Meh, it'll blow over and all will be forgotten at some point, the reality is there is no credible opposition to scare them into acting appropriately, i think the entire country knows that the labour in-fighting is still there, and an election at any time will just blow that wide open again.
We're probably a decade away from any real chance of another party having the majority unfortunately.
What makes me laugh is they can even do a reshuffle - In a normal world I'd expect each cabinate member to be somewhat of an expert in thier field, or at least highly aware of what the job entails, so the education person can't easily be interchanged with the health person, or the money person, or the defence person.
It's just musical chairs and (very well paid)jobs for the boys really.
