Wow, poster who might have an inkling of a clue, where you been? It's been lonely in here. Lurking, mostly, but I'm getting increasingly vocal in various appropriate/inappropriate circles. I'm just getting angrier I suppose but it's feeling futile. I work for NHS, classed as frontline but the apathy from many colleagues is depressing but probably not all that surprising. The saddest bit for me, on the subject of the latest disgrace of the Tories, is that any restrictions that may well need to be brought in for public safety won't be due to it highlighting the obvious hypocrisy. And more people will die because of that. People just want their Christmas, and please 'Boris' grant it to us. People are bored of the pandemic, it's too inconvenient and we've stayed in for a bit already. I genuinely hate to say it, but we're getting the Government we deserve Unfortunately you aren't wrong about us having the gov this country deserves... It's a gov of a failing arrogant empire desperately trying to hang on globally & find new wealth for the rich... Obviously that's a pretty generalist view. Regarding the apathy it's not really surprising in this country also, our society based on winners & losers, social Darwinism & eugenics... A pandemic is only going to worsen the conditions, basically the UK never had a chance of a empathetic response. -- Clap for the NHS whilst the government systematically dismantle it for profit, etc. --

I cant tell you how many broken families this takes the P?!s out of. I'm devastated for them all. Boris won't sack him though. All just a jolly jape, wot o, spiffing. He'll throw Stratton under the bus rather than his ERG mates who got him there. Watch out for a distraction soon. 🤬 Boom?? www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-59584736Allegra Stratton has resigned as a government adviser following an angry backlash over a video of No 10 staff joking about holding a Christmas party.

Ah Stuart, right on the money again. Looks like government to introduce plan B, as if there were a plan A. Looks like the expected plan to distract from Tory shithousery has arrived and you lot not seeing your family this crimbo is it.
Extra kudos for the customary under bus execution for the small fry.

The backbenchers are already seeing Plan B as deflection so will be wise to it. There is plenty of lockdown restriction scepticism there already, when it comes to a vote on implementing them it'll be interesting to see if there is much rebelling. Could be the start of his demise, wouldn't surprise me if someone like Roger Gale steps up as a 'stalking horse' at some point.

Nothing to see here, nothing iffy just an oversight. "The Conservative Party has been fined £17,800 for "failing to accurately report a donation" that paid for the refurbishment of the PM's flat. The Electoral Commission also said the party failed to "keep a proper accounting record" around the donation. Over £52,000 was given to the party by Lord Brownlow for the work, initially paid for by the Cabinet Office. The Commission said he also paid almost £60,000 directly to suppliers for further refurbishments." www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-59591917

The thing is France, this lot are so incompetent they cannot even be corrupt without getting caught.

In fairness no one is any good at being corruption if they get caught. I'll bet they are all at it.

Here's a timeline from the Beeb: 13 November 2020: Sources have told the BBC there were impromptu drinks to mark the exit of the former director of communications at No 10, Lee Cain - but it was staff having drinks at their desks and was over by 20:30. 13 November 2020: Also the date Dominic Cummings left as chief adviser to the PM. Sources told the BBC that several Downing Street staff members attended a gathering with Carrie Johnson in the flat where the prime minister and his wife live above No 11 after exits. A source said music was blaring and could be heard elsewhere in the building. But others said to be at the party denied it took place, as did a spokeswoman for Mrs Johnson. 27 November 2020: Another No 10 aide, Cleo Watson, left Downing Street marked by an event. Again, sources said it was not formally organised, but people were having drinks and Mr Johnson made a speech. Mr Cummings has tweeted that no party took place on this date. December 10 2020: The Department for Education has confirmed it had a gathering in the office to thank staff for their work during the pandemic. Drinks and snacks were brought by those who attended and no outside guests or support staff were invited. 14 December 2020: The Conservatives have confirmed reports that there was an "unauthorised social gathering" in the basement of their party's building, held by the team of the London mayoral candidate at the time, Shaun Bailey. It was described as "raucous". Four Tory staff members have been disciplined. 18 December 2020: The now infamous Downing Street Christmas party took place on this date, as first reported by the Mirror. A source told the BBC there was food, drinks and games at the gathering that went on past midnight. Another December party: We are still trying to pin down the date of this one, but multiple sources have told the BBC there was a Christmas quiz for No 10 staff in the Cabinet Office, with invitations sent out in advance via email, telling people to form teams of six. Downing Street says it was a "virtual gathering" but sources at the event say there were groups sat together in the room. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-59591610
