That's probably because your lad took the front door route i.e. getting in on merit. The back door route is not for plebs like us.
I emailed my MP to find out what his stance was on this. I still haven't had a reply. I'll be amazed if I ever get one. He doesn't bother engaging with his constituents
Slight distraction ...
BBC New: MI5 warning over 'Chinese agent' in Parliament
"Mr Gardiner began getting donations from Ms Lee's law firm, Christine Lee & Co, at the end of 2014.
According to the register of MPs' interests, between then and 2020, he received over £420,000 in donations, mostly covering the costs of employing parliamentary researchers."
It looks like someone is winding up someone in this country.

I might email mine, should be interesting as he's Douglas Ross 🤣
A deafening silence from mine ..... Gove. Hardly a surprise
Chris Grayling: Degree from Cambridge. Went on to be the possibly the crappest minister in living memoryDominic Raab: Undergraduate degree from Oxford, Postgraduate degree from Cambridge, qualified as a solicitor. Didn’t know that Dover-Calais was quite important.
You forgot the key qualification to be a Minister. Must be madly pro-Brexit.
Which automatically weeds out all the intelligent ones in favour of the thick nationalist ****s.

Yes, astonishing(!) that this was released today…. Hmm what was in the news yesterday?? It enabled Pritti to look solemn on the news channels today.
She has had contacts with all political parties at Westminster allegedly
Yup my Tory MP stopped replying ages ago
He really is a spineless little ****
Re Sunak, his media appearances have been uniformly awful. Just pure cringe and comes across as a robotic dweeb with a tony Blair voice that sounds odd and inability to buy suits that fit properly.
I remember him being a bit more assured media wise pre 2019 election but anyway, get gone Rishi
I don't see either him or truss out performing starmer even with a supine media in their favour. Hunt's the only contender id be worried about, only cos hes reasonably intelligent and not as immediately repellent as the any of the cabinet
Ah yes Jeremy cHunt (silent H) - the person who led the acceleration of the dismantling of the NHS pre-Covid. Once he lost the leadership fight with Johnson he tried to pretend he's a nice guy and then used Covid as an opportunity to have a pop at the Govt. He's just another self-serving smunt.
Hunt is awful - slimy get. He deliberately got into fights with NHS staff for column inches and never looked like he actually knew what happens in healthcare
He is very repellent utterly oleaginous
Mad Nad is on channel 4 news backing the PM. Apparently he’s very upset at ‘the perception’ of what’s gone on
Bless
Just watched Dorries on C4, apologies if it's your town but I think the whole area she represents should be nuked immediately. Any human that votes for this woman is a harm to others.
Just thought I’d post to agree with you.
In a shocking development, Somehow i’Ve managed to post on an internet message board from an area that Rishi had no WiFi or cellular data coverage in to tweet his support of Boris yesterday. He should switch his service provider!
I actually feel embarrassed for her after watching that & im not naturally predispos d to sympathy for politicians.
Police to consider investigation if No 10 party probe points to criminal offences

Saves them a bit of paperwork/ investigation I suppose?

Full MemberTJ that shaking hands was another lie, the local paper made it very clear that it hadn’t happened (they had no Covid patients at the time) and the hospital staff were not best pleased either.
If you ever wanted a single event to define Johnson before the current fiasco, this was it.
Goes on an unnecessary photo op to a hospital at a time when it's a pretty bad idea, doesn't follow the recommended social distancing, masking or hygiene advice of his own government in the run-up to it, then afterwards claims to have shaken hands with covid patients, which would have been absolutely insane and irresponsible and would have been a risk to him, the staff he was meeting with, other patients, and colleagues. Directly undermines all of his government's own advice for no apparent reason...
And then it turns out to be an absolute lie and that they knew in advance that there were no covid patients in the hospital.
It's that sheer "lying just for the **** of it", no advantage to be gained whatsoever, caused nothing but harm... I mean, it's weird enough that some people just don't understand the difference between truth and lies or that lying is bad and that you should try and tell the truth... But to be faced with a choice of telling the truth which actually paints you well, or telling a random lie that's absolutely counterproductive... Why would anyone do that unless they just love lies?

The only truth which matters to him is what he wants the truth to be at that very moment. There is zero thought given to any fallout or consequences. He can literally stand there promising unicorns one day and the next deny that there was ever any mention of unicorns without showing a shred of remorse or self-awareness.
It's the same level as a kid standing there with chocolate all round their mouth swearing blind that they never touched the chocolate. It's Walter Mitty levels of delusion.
He was ( at a guess) trying to show that covid was nothing to be scared about? following Trumps lead
cold war steve already already nailed it

Torygraph piling in is funny
Im guessing this is a leak from the Sue Grey report
This was recently posted on Arsebook by the daughter of one of BloHard's dimmest cabinet ministers
so the key worker nurses and doctors doing tiktok dances in the halls and eating in the canteens together during breaks...how is that different to the key worker civil servants getting some down time amongst long shifts when they're already working together?
They spent 18hour days securing us
vaccines
tests
Furlough
Business Grants
new hospitals
accomodation for the homeless
Repatriation
They did so much and had a drink in the garden during work to decompress.
No different to those having picnics in overcrowded parks. In fact not as bad, they were at work whilst many were being paid not to.
Not seeing loves ones dying in hospital is just grieving upset people deflecting their emotions toward boris. He wasn't doing it in an ICU ward, where there are STILL very strict visiting rules for end of life.
He's being stitched up by an extremely manipulative opposition and a handful of rebels in his own party. those shouting for him to resign now will quickly come to regret this
Rules were broken, but not in any kind of way that harmed anyone by people who were risking a lot to do an impossible task. Let's stop being so predictably angry at anything our twisted media portray and think for ourselves for once.
Posting this partly because a reminder of the game made me smile…

Good luck justifying this or the other points you make.
Boris was just doing his best eh? The nasty opposition are just being nasty eh?
I know, it's delusion of the highest order.
^^Bugger, sorry, I didn't realise you were quoting someone.😁
Sorry! I though you had been drinking or something.lol
Johnson was (and still is doing) his best.
It's just his best is really, really, really ****ing shite.
Actually Newsthump seem to have given up on satire and are just reporting the news instead.
More of the hard Brexit cheerleader MPs are turning on him now.

@poopscoop I guessed that. The forum ****ed up the quote almost as badly as Blohard has ****ed up the country.

Which one? Its a rather tight field with most just above able to walk and breath at the same time.
He wasn’t doing it in an ICU ward, where there are STILL very strict visiting rules for end of life.
I like this line. Well thats okay then so long as they didnt decide to randomly gatecrash an ICU ward with some wine and gin its okay. I wonder where else is high on their list of party locations? Morgues and cemeteries perhaps? Are they are a goth?
Im guessing Dories daughter
That Bridgen has crayoned his letter to 1922 commiittee, is surely a sign that its end of days
The notion that a lot of those people may not have been dying in hospital if we had a more responsible government is clearly lost on that pampered offspring.
And good old Nadders has been wheeled out to make excuses for de Pfeffel, quite possibly after a couple of lunchtime glasses of sauvingnon:
**Warning - Daily Heil Link below**
"...a very formidable serval servant, Sue Grey"
Dorries herself is sadly typical of Johnson's front bench, strong on loyalty but not over-blessed with brains or integrity. Given that the mewling Victorian Pencil managed to throw the leader of the Scottish Tories under a bus yesterday and that Andrew Bridgen (Himself an intellectual vacuum) has accused Johnson of presiding over a "moral vacuum" at the heart of government.
Ideally, the whole Conservative Party will collapse into civil war between the various factions and will **** off into history, but that's a little too much to hope for.
There will always be a party that appeals to baser human emotions so there will always be Tory party or party that represents the same values.

I definitely need to play better attention when I read too. 😁
Jesus! When Andrew Bridgen is lucid enough to get his felt tips out and scrawl a letter, the game really is up.
Is it just me or is everybody else reminded of a ventriloquists dummy when his huge bulbous head appears on screen.

I reckon Boris is now stockpiling arms, Waco style for when they come to drag him out
So the Sun's reticence to put these parties on the front page isn't just because it would become clear their Deputy Editors was at some of them - it turns out one of the parties was thrown for him.
Its interesting as these new party revelations come out of the woodwork. The first ones revealed was the ones held last Christmas and the leaked mock press conference exercise dwelled on the consequences they feared of the fallout if party becoming public knowledge. Having dwelled on that.... they kept having parties.

That and according to private eye and somewhat admitted to by the Sun they had a rather excitable christmas party in 2020.
Having dwelled on that…. they kept having parties.
Well they had got away with it plenty of times so why stop?
Maybe he's in the flat steaming to paper off the walls and packing.
I'm not a fan of the Royalty but that photo of QE2 alone at her husband's funeral, captures the disconnect between the Govt setting the rules and the public following them. I hope it haunts them for the rest of their days.
Having dwelled on that…. they kept having parties.
Imagine how much work they might have been able to do if they weren't partying the whole time!
I actually can't decide which I want more - in certain cases (like Chris Grayling) it would have been far cheaper for the country to pay him a Minister's salary and have him do absolutely nothing cos everything he did do failed spectacularly and expensively. In that case I'd be quite happy for him to be sitting in a garden drinking cos it'd keep him away from ****ing things up even more. Genuinely difficult call that!
