Yet more Tory sleaze….

[Rusty Nails]

How ironic.

A detour about detours.

It's just a distraction to deflect the sleaze from Johnson.🙄

And a quote from it:-
In an essay for The Oxford Myth (1988), a book edited by his sister Rachel, Johnson advised aspiring student politicians to assemble “a disciplined and deluded collection of stooges” to get out the vote. “Lonely girls from the women’s colleges” who “back their largely male candidates with a porky decisiveness” were particularly useful, he wrote. “For these young women, machine politics offers human friction and warmth.” Reading this, you realise why almost all Union presidents who become Tory politicians are men. (Thatcher’s domain was OUCA, where she was president in 1946.) Johnson added: “The tragedy of the stooge is that . . . he wants so much to believe that his relationship with the candidate is special that he shuts out the truth. The terrible art of the candidate is to coddle the self-deception of the stooge.” Tory MPs now backing Johnson’s candidacy for leader may find the essay interesting.

One of the best description of his attitude and working principles I have seen
and from his own mouth

Thanks

Pay attention at the back , if you look outside of the head you may find being in a forum is not a special place with a new of rules for you to make up.

News that Boris is looking for a lawyer over the Partygate stuff

OOOOOK - he is entitled to do that
but how many people hire a lawyer for a fixed penalty ticket??

not really a good look

When a fixed penalty will cost you your job, I think anyone would engage a lawyer.

Hold on, isn't one of his 'useful idiots' lawyer?

No doubt, but, presumably he wants a competent lawyer, since it is his head on the block

Starmer then?

In a landmark verdict, the High Court has today found that the appointments of both Dido Harding and Mike Coupe were unlawful. It held that Matt Hancock broke the law in appointing Dido Harding as Chair of the National Institute for Health Protection and in appointing Mike Coupe as Director of Testing at Test and Trace. The High Court was also clear that the Prime Minister broke the law in appointing Dido Harding as Chair of Test and Trace.

Matt Hancock broke the law ... the Prime Minister broke the law

SOP for this Tory government. Just another day at the office.
