I wonder if it’ll be as good as the Russia report that he sat on for yonks one that didn’t bother to look into interference by Russia.
The party report that doesn’t look at parties,perhaps you have to have a stripper/hookers & Coke for it to be a party.
Food and drink on works premises after hours just showing the long hours put in by team Tory on the covid disaster as they valiantly try to save the nhs and us.

Balloons are the apparent official criteria. I doubt most of them would turn up if it didnt have the hookers and coke.

Box of balloons, with the featherlight touch?
Might have saved Johnson a few quid over the years if he’d invested (younger readers can google Madness )
That list. Wow.
Of course in any kind of even vaguely moral organisation many of those people would have been investigated and thrown out rather than blackmailed.
Just goes to show how morally bankrupt our most successful political party is, and how traduced our opinion of politicians is that it doesn't surprise me in the slightest that this is how it works.
Interestingly, going into some stores today (TK, Homebase etcetera), I thought that mask compliance was up on the last couple of weeks if anything, from both staff and customers.
Just been in to Ilkeston, local bakery, Costa, Aldi - again, more mask wearing by staff and customers than usual.
the bridge/tunnel fantasy has cost nearly a Cool million to prove that it’s not feasible
what a waste of money, I would’ve been quite happy to tell him it was shit idea for half that
I am amused by the naivety of some of you. This is common practice and is well known as is bribing politicians ( disguised and legitimised). tories are perhaps worse but all parties do it
Its a large part of the reason our politics is so corrupt and dysfunctional. this sort of behaviour is normalised
Not much dirt on the ‘ Tory it’s okay to like’, Rory stewart
Once again he is speaking calmly, eloquently and sensibly. The best (Tory) PM we will never have*.

*I fully accept he is Tory and his voting record shows that but he is still a superb diplomat.
Definitely the best 2 minute takedown I've Johnson I've heard. So calm and yet so brutal.

Not really but that's certainly the story the right wing want to promote.

Only by people repeating it as fact when it isn't.
nickjb - its been going on all the time I have followed politics - did you not see the bit about Ian McGregor in the 70s? ( or 80s?)
Agreed - Hunter S. Thompson wrote in depth about it in Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail.
Does anyone have a link to the alleged sh**list that the Tory whips have on their rebel MPs? I can't seem to find it on twitter.
PJM1974 It was on here via a twitter link but appears to have disappeared along with a bunch of posts referring to it
Rory Stewart has been talking sense for a long while:
WW definitely wasn't urinated on by 3 men if you are interested.

It's fairly easy to find on Twitter if you search for the right term. Won't post anything here as it's clearly not welcome, I guess for legal reasons (as the provenance of the list seems to be unclear at best).

Yes I would be rather nervous about if I had legal responsibility for the site or indeed possibly just reposting.
It is from a story back in 2017. Example news story referencing to the mostly anonymised version is:
And it looks like PP was the only non male member of cabinet not to accommodate KK
Oops. I didn't get the ban hammer, yay! Guess they really need my £3.50 a month or whatever it is. 🙂
I'm aware of a redacted document that was shared by Guido Fawkes, I won't speculate further. Clearly, the only thing that Gavin Williamson is good at is obtaining kompromat.
And it looks like PP was the only non male member of cabinet not to accommodate KK
If there were an additional K in that acronym, said cabinet member would be all over that in a flash.
Are we going to have to create a secret code to discuss the Tory party's members in future or will innuendo be enough for plausible deniability?
I think it's probably fairer to speculate upon who hasn't got an extensive collection of Nazi memorabilia in their cellar.
Rory Stewart is always worth listening to, whatever your politics.
My favourite observation of his was when he noted how governments always try to 'fix things', when in fact most things work pretty well, have done for centuries and just need a bit of fettling. In attempting to fix something, we stand more chance of breaking it for ever.
My local Tory MP likes to add nazi symbols to his own campaign signs to get sympathy.
He also gets donations from the 'Lankser Business Club' which is a club you can't join as they don't seem to exist...
This man is the Welsh Secretary of State for Wales!!!

Needs a bit more refining "in their cellar or on proud display in the living room/shrine in the bedroom".

As opposed to the Scottish Secretary of State for Wales.

tbf with Johnson it wouldnt completely surprise me. "close enough. Right back to handing 900k over to find out a bridge to the moon wont work".

Ironically, my poor sentence construction made me google him and it turns out he's from Wolverhampton!
Compare Rory Stewart with Liz Truss ... really emphasises how broken the Conservative Party is now.
Boris Johnson Broke Britain.
Technically speaking, he could say they aren't actually swastikas because they are set within a square and not a diamond. They are obviously related to the ancient Egyptian or Hindu use of the motif and anyone who mistakes them for swastikas is in fact a woke Nazi.
Technically speaking of course....
A fine piece of doublethink
With reference to the claims of blackmail
"But No 10 suggested on Friday that an investigation would only be launched “if there was any evidence” to support the claims,"
so you have to have evidence before you can investigate. What is the investigation for then?
If Rory Stewart is such a fine upstanding man WTF is he doing in the tory party? No tory can have any decent moral values or they would not be in the party. He just wants to appear cuddly and reasonable. Its a political ploy.
He is no longer in the Tory party.

To whitewash it and blame some junior official.

Wasn't he part of the clearout when Boris got rid of anyone moderately sane who had any notable hint of ability?
As an aside, did you watch QT last night? Hats off to author Chris Brookmyre who described Jacob Rees-Mogg as a 'Steampunk C3PO' 😂
He is no longer in the Tory party.
Ah - take back what I said then
Boris Johnson Broke Britain.
No it was broken long before that. Johnson is a symptom not the disease.

The man is a genius. And most of his books are outrageously funny too. Was a very good QT I thought...almost wish I was Scottish...(well until the rugby starts but don't tell anyone shhhh)
Boris Johnson Broke Britain.

They do now seem to be involved in some sort of scorched earth policy at the moment though

Poor little Alexander. Sorry, no, we’re all culpable to a degree for allowing him to gain the power he has, but ultimately, he is at the centre of so much damage to the UK, all in his own interest. The people that suffered, and the damage done to the UK’s reputation, just while he was Foreign Secretary, is enough to make me despise him… never mind all he did before and has done since.
Interesting that the whips list was correct about Matt Hancock & Charlie Elphick

I'm not, despite being firmly centre right I held my nose and voted for Corbyn's Labour party in an act of desperation, anything but Boris.
