I'd say it's 'Bishop's Finger' 5.4%, not that I'm an expert on these things from a distance

You were there too, then? I thought BoJo was asking where his bath was! It was a bit noisy, mind.

It possibly depends on the age of those partying.Around here it’s mainly OAPs and they were all being very careful about meeting anyone or having parties at home. However I live by the Solent and the youngsters were meeting up on the beach in groups slightly larger than allowed. But as it was out in the open I suspect that transmission would have been less likely.

Maybe Andrew was laid out on a table with the hors d'oeuvres displayed on him. Politicians like those extra touches apparently.

BREAKING: Jack Doyle has resigned as director of communications at No 10. He's told friends he always planned to leave after two years and that his departure is not linked to that of Munira Mirza

At least we know what the practical exam is - how many wine bottles can you fit in a carry-on suitcase?

Will the next Prime Minister make themselves heard, please?

Rishi Sunak criticises Boris Johnson as resignations buffet No 10

Chancellor distances himself from PM on day of chaos that saw four senior Downing St aides leave

Boris Johnson was publicly criticised on Thursday by chancellor Rishi Sunak over his conduct, on a day of chaos when four of the prime minister’s most senior aides left Downing Street.

Munira Mirza, Johnson’s policy unit chief and a close ally for almost 15 years, quit, denouncing Johnson’s claim on Monday that Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer had failed to prosecute the late sex offender Jimmy Savile.

Rather than defending Johnson, Sunak used a Downing Street press conference to describe Mirza as a “valued colleague” while undermining the prime minister by saying: “Being honest, I would not have said it.”

Sunak said he would “miss working with Munira”, who was arguably Johnson’s most valued aide since his days as London mayor.

Downing Street officials say Johnson views his chancellor, a potential leadership rival, with growing distrust.

Mirza said in her resignation letter that the prime minister had “no fair or reasonable basis” to accuse Starmer, former director of public prosecutions, for failing to act against Savile, a notorious paedophile.

“This was not the usual cut and thrust of politics; it was an inappropriate and partisan reference to a horrendous case of child sex abuse,” she wrote in her resignation letter.
