Sue

Are you the author ? 🤣

[JohnL]

The reference to Jimmy Savile is an all time low by this PM and that is something.

No, just one of the many many Sues of that era :))

Five in my class alone at one point in primary school :))

I don't know anybody called John Smith, apart from the famous ones!

I know a load of Sues, though!

[TheCat]

Well a quick skim of the report suggests a massive anti-climax....no matter what your view on the PM and the goverenment....

9 pages of non-committall language and vague platitudes, which basically dont tell us anything we didnt already know....

Tory MP's should stop p!ssing about and get these letters into the 1922 committee....the damage being done as a result of government just drifting along, with a few hasilty thought out populist policies thrown in to divert attention is well beyond a joke now...

[Sue]

But her hands are now tied because of the Met involvement.

[diable rouge]

According to the report's Terms of Reference it was never going to be blockbuster stuff, but it was more critical than I expected e.g. ''the failure of leadership''. Don't forget, it was also heavily redacted, this is just an ''update''.

Starmer hasn't been the greatest LOTO, but his speech in the Commons was very good, and that will strike more of a chord with the public and the sacrifices we made. Lordy knows what Johnson was thinking of when he brought up Saville.

This is not going to go away and no amount of running-off to the Ukraine or hiding in fridges is going to detract from that, especially as we now know there definitely was a party in the No. 10 flat, which the Met are investigating.

Oh, and the small matter of 300+ photos in their files...

"I don't know anybody called John Smith, apart from the famous ones! "

Well I'm not famous but you know me and that's my name - even if I tend to go with the Irish version online (SeanMacGabhann)

[Sephiroth]

"Well a quick skim of the report suggests a massive anti-climax....no matter what your view on the PM and the goverenment."

the fact he publicly used a far-right Saville smear against KS and accused the opposition benches of being junkies suggests he is more riled than anti-climactic

" well beyond a joke now..."

never invite a vampire into your home - he won't leave just because you've realised he's a vampire

[Seabag]

Back to the Sue Gray report

This lovely lot of viewing is fun

Johnson?s unable to look up once and actually face what?s being said to him, about him.

[JohnL]

He's off to Eastern Europe and Russia with Liz Truss tomorrow apparently

Doesn't really want to stay around here.

[diable rouge]

He likes hiding in cold places...

Still think this throwaway comment was a low blow from someone who does low blows for a living

Is this meant for me? I've never voted for party that includes Boris Johnson amongst its leaders

[JohnL]

I assumed that was Boris - who we invited into our house in 2019 and now he's wrecked the house and annoyed the neighbours.
