The lengths which some will go to exonerate Starmer's useful idiot is a tad concerning.

It's a witch hunt, it's all that Labour has, desperate Dan stuff.

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
Anyone worked out what the funders were hoping to get in return?
Quote:
Met considering whether to investigate PM over Downing Street flat refurb
Scotland Yard is considering whether to investigate Boris Johnson over the funding of his Downing Street flat renovation after Labour’s lawyers claimed there was a “reasonable suspicion” that he had broken anti-bribery laws.
Solicitors on behalf of Labour wrote to the Metropolitan police commissioner, Dame Cressida Dick, last week suggesting the force was “duty-bound” to begin a formal investigation.
They said the prime minister may have acted improperly by having “linked” a request for funds to cover the refurbishment works – which eventually cost at least £112,000 – with a promise to “promote a project” backed by the benefactor.

Nope. I'm saying that the police are taking no action over Starmer taking alcohol refreshments in a break from work, so BJ is probably in the clear, depending on whether they find anything that is of real concern.

There's a big difference between people at work snatching some food and drink out of necessity (weren't food outlets closed?) and people obviously partying? Realms of, I would have thought.

You know how it works … just a friendly understanding that he’ll pick up the phone when they call.

The Met has been requested to open an enquiry. Their previous excuse that potential crimes that happened in the past could not be investigated has been found wanting.

It looks like Beijing enjoys productive relations with some Conservative MPs so I'm surprised they bothered with that guy. Here's some previously undisclosed PPE providers that accessed the VIP lane:
Quote:
- PPE contracts worth £173 million were awarded to China Meheco Co. Ltd and Winner Medical, both of whom have been linked to Uighur human rights abuses in Xinjiang. Government has previously misled the public about other aspects of the deal
- Shenzen-based oil and gas firm Jason Offshore Equipment was handed a £25 million contract in June 2020. 18 months later, the DHSC still hasn’t published the contract, directly contradicting Boris Johnson’s claims in Parliament that all PPE contracts were now “on the record”.
- A £96 million contract awarded to Beijing Union Glory Investment Co. Ltd – a firm that operated out of a hotel room in Beijing.
- State-controlled China National Instruments Import & Export Group landed three contracts worth £130,000,000.

Could be worse - the Conservative Party (including a quarter of the Cabinet) could be accepting donations from citizens of a country with whom we look as if we could be going to war with in the next couple of weeks, and whose Government poisoned (& murdered) some people in our country about three years ago…

The allegations may say there were parties. Let’s see how the police define them before we rush to judgement on Dominic Cummings’ bile, shall we?
