A thread to catalogue the eloquence, dignity, diplomacy and wisdom of Boris Johnson III

In other news: Tory MP Crispin Blunt is back defending his convicted Tory sex offender MP Ahmed Khan and that it was a “miscarriage of justice” (BBC). Tories always gonna Tory.
 
Looks like Johnson is going to use his Cabinet Secretary and yes man Simon Case as a meat shield after all.

Irony is Case isn’t the one with the police fine and Simon’s going to get ambushed with a cake, shoved right in his eager face next week.

Val McDermid was on Broadcasting House this morning, she made the point that Boris can't see a bus going past without wondering who he can throw under it.

Good. The more hostility Johnson and his party create in the civil service the better IMO. It will help flush whistle-blowers out.

The real story is still how much money his administration and its financial backers have stolen from us and pocketed over the covid period. Hopefully attention will turn to that in time. A figure totalling many £bns. Some of the worst criminality this country has seen in decades IMHO, especially given the party’s continual barrage of punching downwards to those on benefits, those forced to use foodbanks etc. I suspect long overdue unrest will happen once the sheer extent of their criminality and double-standards really sinks in with people who can no longer afford to heat their homes, feed their kids, pay their rent etc. It is said any society is but three square meals away from taking to the streets, and Johnson’s day has to be approaching…

Bring it on.

Boris Johnson said the drug habits of “middle-class coke heads” are driving crime across the UK.

New plans unveiled by the government could see “middle-class coke heads” face five-year football bans if convicted of selling or taking class A drugs at matches.

I think this is a great idea! We should bring in the same rules for Parliament.

Whatever happened to the Speaker calling in the police last December after 11 out of 12 tested toilets in Parliament tested positive for cocaine?
 
On the eve of Sue Gray’s report being published, it’s positively raining dead cats. If you can’t frame the opposition, frame one of your own Cabinet members and make it really gamey. The nipple story is so outrageous no one would dare make it up.
 
Another weird Tory to add to the collection:

https://www.theguardian.com/politic...t-says-teenage-girls-smell-buttery-and-creamy
On Saturday a post on the Twitter account of Jonty Campbell, who has stood for the party in Preston on a number of occasions, said: “Here’s the thing with girls 22 or under, they smell massively different to a girl of 28. Girls aged 16 to, say 23, have this buttery, creamy, slightly sweet smell that is unbelievably magnetic.”

I feel the same way about scones.

Good lord - his Twitter account... retweeting Russian state-affiliated media, promoting an event in Florida(!) with Gavin McInnes and complaining that the Co-Op has become 'woke'. And that's just the past couple of hours.

I sometimes wonder whether people don't fully appreciate that just because they compose a Tweet in the privacy of their own homes, that doesn't mean it'll stay there. What is it with people broadcasting their wierdest, darkest inner thoughts to the world? Especially people with aspirations to be in the public eye. Have they learned nothing?

Peter Hennessy stuck the boot in this morning [17/04/22], reading his diary entry for Tuesday, when the PM offered his apologies for 'partygate':

"...[the premiership is] an office he has sullied like no other, turning it into an adventure playground for one man's narcissistic vanity...[He has]in effect shredded the Ministerial Code... The Queen's first minister is now beyond doubt a rogue Prime Minister, unworthy of her, her Parliament, her People and her Kingdom. I cannot remember a day I have been more fearful for the wellbeing of the constitution."

Interview starts at 34:00.

Another Peter Hennessy interview in the FT this morning:
Henry Mance said:
Johnson seems to be the only subject that makes Hennessy visibly angry. “He is the greatest trouble to the good chap system of any prime minister that I’ve observed,” he says. “Anthony Eden lied to parliament about the collusion with Israel [in the 1956 Suez crisis], but in his defence he felt he had to do that because it was overwhelmingly important for the state. But Boris does it, you get the impression in the bad weeks, almost daily.” It has led to “a bonfire of the decencies”.

The No.10 lie machine is already getting the smears in ( the DM, front page, as if they’ve nothing better to report on) against Gray ahead of her report’s publication but plucky Boris “just wants to get it all out in the open so he can move on”. That’s the summation of his political and personal life- just move on- from one set of lies, deception, failure, to the next one or to the the next photo opportunity, false promise, party slogan.


They can’t even get their lies straight!-


This morning Simon Clarke, the chief secretary to the Treasury who was doing the morning interview round on behalf of the government, said he thought Sue Gray had instigated the meeting with Boris Johnson a few weeks ago at which the Partygate report was discussed. (See9.22am.)

But at the lobby briefing today the PM’s spokesperson admitted that Downing Street had instigated the meeting. He said earlier this month there had been contact, at official level, between No 10 and Gray’s team to discuss a meeting. Asked who suggested the meeting, he replied: “No 10 officials.”
