Can't help wondering if Cummings is behind all this.

This hasn't been confirmed anywhere but I though it looks like he is he the one sat on the left of the table in the foreground along with the Johnsons and (I think I've seen it mentioned) the PM's PPS?

I have no idea how his mind works, and don't really want to, but if I was lining up a 'gotcha', I wouldn't want to be part of it!

That's just his alibi! Where was his wife at the time? :D

If it such an important/controversial picture why has it taken 18 months for it to be released?

I think it's Cumming's advent calendar. A leak for every day. Christmas Eve should be a right cracker ! ;) Part 2 of the Allegra Stratton video that's rumoured to exist maybe...

Perhaps the owner thought Johnson might be vaguely competent so gave him time to demonstrate this. After 18 months, they gave up waiting!

ITV has an e-mail of another party on May 20th 2020 when the country was in full lockdown and you couldn't meet more than one person outside: https://www.itv.com/news/2022-01-10/...ht-of-lockdown

Quote:

Downing Street staff were invited to a drinks party in the Number 10 garden during the height of nationwide lockdown to "make the most of the lovely weather".

An email shared exclusively with ITV News provides the first evidence of a party on May 20, 2020, when the rest of the country was banned from meeting more than one other person outdoors.

The email was sent by the Prime Minister's Principal Private Secretary Martin Reynolds to over a hundred employees in Number 10, including the Prime Minister's advisors, speechwriters and door staff.
ITV also claims the PM was there meaning it's the first time he is directly implicated in breaking his own rules:

Quote:

ITV News understands around 40 staff gathered in the garden that evening, eating picnic food and drinking. Crucially, they included the Prime Minister and his wife Carrie Johnson.

With a bit of luck, he'll have to resign.

Well ITV don't have a photo of him there so he can still just deny it. Even if there was a photo I'll imagine he'll say he wasn't there.

Then, with a bit of further luck, a whistle blower will fix him.

Ha ha! You find this trivia serious?

Well, if this is the most serious issue you think this world faces, you really need to get a grip, Andrew.

These were work colleagues who were together because the government can’t just stop functioning. If they met for drinks afterwards, where is the harm?:shrug:
