Anyone else feel soiled after seeing Raab wink at Rayner?
Was she wearing a skirt again? 🙄

Angela Rayner did according to Twitter.
The problem for Raab is that it's easy for him to play the role of cocky schoolboy after she wiped the floor with him.
If the 1922 boot Johnson out over/after the summer Tories can possibly fix things if their next leader is halfway competent
Steve Baker has grabbed a place on the committee, which is very bad news given that Baker is a) mad and b) dangerous and c) possibly funded by loony happy-clappy American libertarians.
That horrific image is burned into my brain, now it’s in yours too.
Private Eye were kind enough to include a warning though.
Did anyone else hear Instagram Liz doing the morning media rounds?
Dear god! She makes Boris look like a towering intellectual colossus. As she's asked a question, there's a pause as you literally hear the gears and cogs start to grind into action as she then goes on to endlessly repeat the same soundbites like a malfunctioning droid
Its truly staggering to think that this absolute dimwit is presently Foreign Secretary and - god help us all - probably the next PM
pjm - Steve Baker does not have a place on the 1922 exec; he has put himself forward as a candidate.

If you think #carriegate is the end for Johnson don't get your hopes up, one swallow doesn't make a summer
I liked how Truss was keen to defend the independence of the Privelege committee after the Torygraph attacked it, saying it was grossly unfair on Johnson
Truss knows its her best chance of getting herself in No 10

Not going to happen. The writing is on the wall now.
Well, at least we all now know why Gavin Williamson got a nighthood.
To be fair, he probably deserves it for the trauma of walking in on that! He’ll never be able to unsee it 😳
The FO position required a written application and an oral.

Okay, that made me properly laugh, you've got me there.
I really don't need to read the last few posts, I'm about to go to bed and would rather not have nightmares!
Just had a thought on the recent 2.5% of GDP being spent on defence:
Maybe he is trying to get to that figure by not spending more money on defence stuff but by dragging down GDP to such an extent that the current funding (or even a little bit less) will magically become the 2.5% of GDP by default?
you’ve got me there.
Isn't that what Boris said?
Deputy Chief whip has resigned "drunken groping" being cited.
Surname: Pincher

I saw he'd admitted drinking but had been vague about what it was being used as an excuse for.
Convenient timing? A scandal that doesn't involve blojo.

Deflection from the BJ story, or from the whole general shit parade.....🤔

after claims he ‘drunkenly groped two men’
I like how he refers to the challenges of international inflation. Never waste an opportunity to spin your bollocks on the voters.
Did anyone else hear Instagram Liz doing the morning media rounds?
Thats how they play it now. They cannot commit an opinion to anything without first having to work out if they'll be held to it later. No opinion on any and all matters whatever their importance. Stuttering f*****in imbecile is how she came across.
Weak and impotent, like a old aged dick.
It appears that pincher has form for unwanted sexual behaviour...
On 5 November 2017, the Conservative MP for Tamworth, Christopher Pincher, resigned as Assistant Whip and "voluntarily" referred himself to the Conservative Party's complaints procedure and the police, after Story alleged that Pincher had made an unwanted pass at him, describing him as a "pound shop Harvey Weinstein". Story said that he had been invited back to Pincher's flat, where Pincher massaged his neck and talked about his "future in the Conservative party", before changing into a bathrobe.[23] Pincher said that "I do not recognise either the events or the interpretation placed on them" and that "if Mr Story has ever felt offended by anything I said then I can only apologise to him".[
I'm sure the good people of Tamworth will re-elect him.
Well.
He fell on who's sword? 😂
why do these people still stay as an MP?
Patterson thought he could too
Johnson needs to show leadership so when he gets back from his G7 jollies, he'll be getting the whip removed after some waffling
That's 4 possible by-elections coming up:
Windsor - bankruptcy trial
Somerton & Frome - coke & hookers
Home counties MP we can't name- nipplegate
Now Tamworth - Pinchy pincher
pjm – Steve Baker does not have a place on the 1922 exec; he has put himself forward as a candidate.
Thank you, I stand corrected.

I've looked up waffling in Urban Dictionary. Extroardinary, but nothing actually involving whips.

Five if you include the possiblity the committee decide good ol' BoJo lied to parliament and give him a long enough suspension and he gets a recall.
Surname: Pincher
He's changing it to Pinchim.
This is funny

^^Lol, that is a bit weird.
Boris seems very nervous about getting his collar felt......🤔
TBH I’m still amazed that it’s acceptable to get caught getting a nosh in your Parliamentry office and not have to resign.
That’s not even going on the cheating on the missus aspect which used to cost you your job back in the day.
As well as trying to get the nosher a nice job as well.
As well as the abuse of power and taking advantage of staff.
Put aside your disbelief that Johnson has a hairdresser....
But this is apparently true

Put aside your disbelief that Johnson has a hairdresser….
Well they obviously didn't get the job based on their hairdressing ability.....
Isn’t this the problem with Johnson, that it’s impossible to easily discern fact from fiction as it’s all plausible due to his prior history.
Put aside your disbelief that Johnson has a hairdresser….
I can believe that in the same way he had someone teaching him about technology.
Better to pay them as a hairdresser than try and get them a senior post in government I guess.

Full MemberTBH I’m still amazed that it’s acceptable to get caught getting a nosh in your Parliamentry office and not have to resign.
Everything is acceptable with teflon boris.
Looking back, isn't it bizarre that Nick Clegg resigned for merely breaking an election pledge.
That Pincher really sounds normal
He had resigned a few years back as deputy whip when a prospective mp complained about his behaviour.
The tories investigation found no problems though and so he rose onwards and upwards.
The 'one swallow doesn’t make a summer' post from yesterday isnt getting enough praise.
very good.
blowback 😉 on Johnson

What the hell is wrong with Westminster?
The UK endorsed crass nationalism (by a narrow margin) and this prompted a (further) decline in the general behaviour of those elected to parliament - both in the messaging it sent to the existing ones and the type of candidate it favours.
Resigning is just, like... SOOOOOOOOO twentieth century, yeah?
Drunkenly groping people is neither here nor there with this lot. It doesn't even register.
The press do see to be massively hinting that there's a whole world of super-injunctions presently going on out there, particularly with the fly-tipped sofa himself. It does make you wonder what the bloody hell really is going on behind the scenes, given the stuff we do know about that they're happy to just shrug and brazen out
Put aside your disbelief that Johnson has a hairdresser….
Makes sense though:
'No, I actually like my hair looking like a crashed hay lorry, now, what are we going to do with the next half hour?'
‘No, I actually like my hair looking like a crashed hay lorry, now, what are we going to do with the next half hour?’
Blow dry?
Handsy Hancock resigned and he didn't even get a kiss on the pecker.
Blow dry?
Something for his weak end, I expect.
I can't decide which is the worse mental image:
Boris getting noshed off by someone after a top job in the the Foreign Office
Some creepy old tory groping and abusing younger men with promises of success in the Conservative party
This is to say nothing of the Canadian hairdresser.
Endemic, from the top. Pure sleaze.
Johnson still refusing to sack him because he's a loyal & effective Whip
meanwhile

I can only wonder what history will make of this government and the road it's taken us down.
Very little shocks me anymore.
We have a long way to fall still.
Which is great.😐
Why stress the "Canadian" aspect of the story?

In seems sensible - in case there's more than one tale of debauchery with a hairdresser that comes out in the wash.

Ooh I don’t think it’ll be that long, Carries tell all book will probably be a jaw dropper 🙂
I’m just thinking about the briefing given to the ‘minder’ of Mr Pincher
“Yeah, could you just accompany him at all times and try and make sure he doesn’t sexually assault anyone?”
And that’s what passes for normal in the Tory party under Boris Johnson
Very little shocks me anymore.We have a long way to fall still.
I'm at the same stage with this as I was with Donald Trump. As soon as you think he's said/done something that will get him impeached or lose him support, he lowers the bar AGAIN. Johnson is the same - a Poundshop Trump enabling and pretty much encouraging all manner of sleaze and corruption and cronyism so long as it keeps him in the top job.
They've long since lost interest in running the country, it's just the last desperate throes of asset stripping now.
This government have more Scandals than Planet X!
But they’re all out of small and medium - in fact they only have XXXXXL scandals left.
https://twitter.com/marinahyde/status/1542842194771468288?s=21&t=pzBtrx8_RczlDBmvYNRyrQ
This missive to the prime minister is some state-of-the-art minimising. “I’ve embarrassed myself and other people” is surely the most twee possible way of saying: “I am alleged to have sexually assaulted two people.” It’s the Live, Laugh, Love of predatory behaviour.
The longer they take to sack him the more damage done. Good. He'll end up resigning like tractor shagger.
Johnson says he 'considers the matter closed'
Sunday papers are going to be funny
Of course theres the very real possibility that it will get bumped off for another news story - because you can be the next Johnson scandal is just waiting to explode
He’ll end up resigning
This is the one thing that will definitely not happen.
Well - certainly not in the sense of a resignation that is anything short of that type of 'resignation' that occurs approximately an hour before he would be sacked anyway.
It isn't about politics for him, it is about him and his monstrous ego.
Mariana Hyde's piece is excellent. I am sad that not more papers are allowing people to write similar articles.

Will it will leave you open mouthed and gasping for more?
Soiled and full of remorse is more likely.
Just to clarify, I wasn't suggesting bozo will resign. I was referring to Mr boozy gropey. Not that I know anything about him. It just has the feel of a story that will grow until the pressure from all sides is too much. I'm probably wrong, but just a guess.
Just to clarify, I wasn’t suggesting bozo will resign. I was referring to Mr boozy gropey.
Oh he's already resigned.
Now Boris considers the matter closed and won't answer any questions about why he put a known sex pest into the office of the Chief Whip - the person you go to when you have concerns about - oh I dunno - sex pest behaviour from your fellow MPs.
In much the same way as the police officer who murdered Sarah Everard was known "colloquially" and "as bantz" in the Met as "The Rapist", Chris Pincher's nickname was Arse - as in Arse Pincher. Well known, but presumably all just a bit of a laugh.
Given that the Tory Hierarchy know that they would likely lose even the safest seat in the country in a resulting by-election right now, Tory MPs know that they could appear on Live TV feeding newborn babies into woodchipping machine while being noshed off by a schoolboy and they still wouldn't face any disciplinary sanction from number 10
Oh he’s already resigned.
Not as MP. And he still has the Tory whip. He'll be hoping to be back on the inside in the top team (again) as soon as people have "moved on"... and he's still one of our voting representatives in parliament in the meantime. He's given up very little short term, and nothing long term. For now...
He’s given up very little short term, and nothing long term.
Indeed.
This is the second time he has resigned from the whips office after allegations of sexual misconduct.
Last time round when he rejoined after a couple of months he got a promotion to deputy chief whip from just a assistant whip.
But they’re all out of small and medium – in fact they only have XXXXXL scandals left.
Nicely done.
For now…
I have to agree with this guy…

I agree with the Porn Man. The Blow-Job Man should remove the whip from the Groping Man.
👏🏼
Not sure about the snappy term "Blow-Job Man" though... I'm not concerned about his consensual in private down time pleasures... what I am concerned about is the pattern, going back to his days as London Mayor, though his days at the FO, and still happening while he is PM... of trying to divert public money towards the women that, er, please him. He's not fit for public office, of any kind, because of that.
He’s not fit for public office, of any kind, because of that.
And several other reasons, of course.
