Re: Partygate & Beergate discussion

The Good Law Project is threatening legal action over the Met's apparent failure to send a questionnaire to Johnson for three gatherings. It was only after the Good Law Project began judicial review proceedings this January that the Met agreed to investigate at all; previously it had said it didn't investigate events that had taken place in the past!

Quote:

Our interest is in three such gatherings:
1. On 13 November 2020, a gathering in No. 10 on the departure of a special adviser (understood to be the former Downing Street Director of Communications)
2. On 17 December 2020, a gathering in the Cabinet Office on the departure of a senior Cabinet Office official (understood to be a defence advisor)
3. On 14 January 2021, a gathering at No. 10 on the departure of two No. 10 private secretaries.

Together, these are known as the “Three Gatherings”.

It is reported that the Prime Minister did not receive questionnaires in respect of the Three Gatherings despite evidence that he attended them. Other attendees did receive questionnaires. We do not understand the decision to investigate some attendees but not the Prime Minister.

We invite the Met to confirm it will rectify its failures to investigate the Prime Minister’s participation in the Three Gatherings, or provide us with its reasons so we can assess the lawfulness of its refusal. Unless it does, and we have given it 14 days to comply, we will begin further judicial review proceedings.

What a disappointment for you guys who wanted rid of Boris.

Now let’s get on with the real issues of the day. The fun is over all but that final vote, and I know which way that will go.

Up next: Starmer’s after work party. Hoist by his own petard!

Ah, I forgot the third option … you’ve been pushing your own fantasy so hard, for so long, you actually think it’s true. Sad.

So true…

Russian Tory donor married to ex-Kremlin deputy minister recently gave Conservatives £80,000

The Conservative Party has faced calls to hand over Lubov Chernukhin's donations - about £2m since 2012 - to Ukrainian humanitarian causes.

But despite all those alleged totals. It’s a drop in the ocean to how much the corrupted EU has and still is giving to Russia for its gas.

I’d rather buy Russian gas and stay warm than sell weapons to Saudi Arabia to kill innocent civilians with.

While we're on the subject of Corruption, the Corrupt Tory Party has only the single master. No, it is not the country and no, it is not the electorate:

Not entirely correct - the EU itself does not pays Russia anything.

Individual countries (including the UK) have paid for and continue to pay Russia for energy - fortunately we were less dependent than many and we're ending our contract for diesel. But I agree that many countries in the EU especially Germany need to end Russian energy use as soon as possible. To their credit, Germany do recognise this but we need to continue to hold them to account.

‘Raises new questions’ Tory MP demands police confirm details of Starmer beergate probe
DURHAM Police need to be transparent over whether a senior Labour politician was consulted in the decision to clear Sir Keir Starmer in the original investigation into beergate when its current inquiries are concluded, a Tory MP has demanded.

focus has turned to whether the Labour leader will be fined for his event last year in the North East. Durham Police initially cleared him of wrongdoing last year at the event on April 30 during an election campaign, but has since reopened the case. This week the force turned down a freedom of information request over whether the force’s Labour Police and Crime Commissioner Joy Allen was consulted during the original investigation.

But it’s totally fine Russia getting its war chest filled to kill innocents in Ukraine. Got it. :rolleyes:

Johnson fans lectured us to wait until the Sue Gray Report was published. Yet if you bought a paper from a Johnson-supporting tabloid, you might think the report wasn't published today!
