Congratulations on stepping up and criticising Johnson, I thought your adoration of him knew no limits. My bad.    |

 What happened at the Starmer curry? Here's a person familiar:
 — 'working dinner' pre-arranged
 — but takeaway arrived late, after work had finished
 — 15 people stayed to eat & drink anyway
 — it therefore "crossed the line"
 — they'll speak to cops
 — 2 "redthroats" talking to media

I'm disappointed Kier at the very least didn't step aside pending the outcome of the police investigation particularly as he was demanding Borris should resign. I'm not however disappointed with Borris as I think we all know he's no better than a snake oil salesman and a particularly bad one at that.

There's a difference between changing jobs and dying in shady circumstances like a Russian oligarch.
 
Meanwhile, two interesting points have come to light over the video of Starmer:
 
1. The entrance to the Miner's hall is 100 yards past the front gates, so video taker Ivo Delingpole was not just passing by a window as claimed.
https://twitter.com/cirian75/status/1523740121895702528 
2. It was taken by Ivo Delingpole, the son of Breitbart, Telegraph and Spectator writer James Delingpole. When the video of circulated last April, he tweeted about it without mentioning that his son had filmed it.

 Wonder why you didn't point this possibly out to to posters who said that Starmer lied? Do you think Starmer is more honest than Johnson?

			Please just make it stop now. Nobody cares anymore. I don’t care if Johnson stays or goes. I don’t care if Starmer stays or goes.
 Can we please just concentrate on getting the economy back on track, tackling inflation and interest rates and looking after the vulnerable.
 
 You know, like important stuff.
