You’ve been in the wrong job, Hugh. Even working in local government, we had some afternoon meetings with alcohol. One of them was in a pub garden. We found it loosened people up, and some useful ideas came out of it that resolved a few problems that had been bedevilling us for some time.

You haven’t lived!

Things have moved on from the 1980s, OB.

I have to say, Chinese spies in Parliament and a Duke losing his HRH status. Boris has no need to swing around a dead cat.

Ouch!

Scottish Tories set to deliver unprecedented snub to Johnson by not inviting him to spring conference

The civil war between the Scottish Tories and Downing Street has deepened after it emerged that Boris Johnson will not be invited to address this spring’s Scottish Conservative conference – an unprecedented snub for a UK leader of the party.

Several Tory sources have told the columnist and Reform Scotland thinktank director Chris Deerin it would be “inconceivable” for Johnson to speak at the event, due to be held in March, assuming he is still the UK party leader then.

One small difference between the 80s/90s and May 2020 - in the 80s/90s it wasn’t against the law to do those things then…

But you knew that.

I wonder why the May 20th "team meeting" didn’t take place in a pub, then?

Similarly, the real facts should come out in court with Prince Andrew’s case.

Or maybe we should just abolish inquiries and courts and just listen to you guys making your ill-informed pronouncements from the comfort of your armchairs.

We have more than allegations, we have actual evidence:
- The email invitation
- Johnson's admission he attended.

You could probably argue that we have witnesses as well.

And another one: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics...mourned-death/

Quote:

Number 10 held two boozy parties the night before the Queen mourned Prince Philip alone.

Staff drank and at points danced until the early hours of the night of April 16.

Hours later, the Queen went to a socially-distanced funeral for Philip.

At the time Britain was in Step 2 of lockdown easing - which banned indoor gatherings and imposed the rule of six outside.

But the celebrations in No10 meant around 30 people were gathered for what a source declares were definitely parties.

No 10 seems a great place to work, always a piss up

I think the Torygraph wants Bozza gone pronto.
They have the final say , not MPs or the public. Book the removal van now old chap and don't forget the wallpaper 😉

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties

A party the night before Tin Lizzie went to mourn Phil the Greek all alone. He’d be spinning in his grave if rigor mortis hadn’t set in back in 2005.

Who does OB bow down to more, the corrupt Tories or Her Maj. I’ve my popcorn ready for the contortions he makes out of this one.
