It's all falling apart alarmingly fast for Boris Johnson across the water. How long you reckon he has left as British Prime Minister? Hours surely?
How many parties are they talking about now? I've lost count.

It always seems to be the case with the Tory membership that they want the most prominent person to lead the party. It's only Truss because they recognise her name.
Oh no, those dasterly PDs coming along and delivering the Centres of Excellence for cancer treatment and not be swayed by unions or parochial politics!
Or how dare they attempt to offer people an alternative to dying on HSE waiting lists!
Naught naughty Starmer. Caught red handed, what a hypocrite !
It seems that was following the rules at the time.
So Starmer isn't breaking the rules. He would walk a mile to a zebra crossing on a quiet street.
It's pretty much the standard play. Wait it out while they muddy the waters with some seemingly comparable situation on the "other side". No accountability, no responsibility for actions. Boris will not step down.
Beyond pathetic. Not surprised the BBC ignore it when it's Johnson holding mass parties but when it's Labour employees sharing a meal at work it's somehow an issue.
Cheese and wine outside, pizza and beer indoors. It's all over, time to move on now.
Did Labour break the rules at the time? Yes or No
Doesn't matter.
Because this is how it will play out/be spun.
You're naive if you think he will be still there in a Month
England will open up fully in a week or so the inquiry report will be delayed johnson will survive
A week is a long time in politics.
The life expectancy of a 95 year old female in the UK is 150 weeks. The chance of the Queen dying before the report comes out if it's sufficiently delayed could be as high as 1%
But more likely there'll be more revelations vs. dead cats waiting for Johnson's return from the unnecessary self imposed isolation.
Yeah as we move out of the pandemic (fingers crossed) this stuff will have diminishing traction. Let a few judiciously chosen deputy heads roll and the 'Big Dog' should be in the clear.
Of course it matters.
Tories are being rightly attacked for holding a press conference telling people to follow the rules they have just set, while they were stocking up on booze for secret garden parties that were completely contrary to said rules
This is what the public are outraged with.
The tories will try to spin it, but they'll just end up digging deeper holes for themselves
It's all over. Pretty sure plenty of images of Beer Starmer's mob will be drip fed to the press this week.
Even MI5 found out they have been infiltrated by a CCP spy. Look at him admitting he has broke the rules. Total hypocracy !
CCP spy? Seriously?
If Johnson can party like Caligula, why can't Gardiner protest against racism?
Well thats what the security services in the UK are saying.
Any chance the poster could provide some proof?
Well sky news or the bbc ran stories on it so I’m not making up what was alleged.
oh. you mean this spy,,,
This spy? The one who gave money to the conservative party and was given an award by them? Lol
No I'm not saying that the larger issue at hand doesn't matter. It absolutely does, but ultimately there will be no change.. i.e. doesn't matter that labour didn't break the rules because Tories are gonna Tory and spin this all the way. Boris will Go when it suits other Tories to remove him. Meanwhile they will throw mud everywhere.
Christ...seriously talk about grasping at straws.
The Conservatives...a string of parties (some of which Johnson was definitely at)...Friday night wine club...a wine fridge....and a suitcase to bring in the wine...you couldn't make it up lol...versus...a man having a takeaway and a beer with a couple of colleagues after working for the day in a constituency office...
There have been plenty of conservative MPs caught breaking the rules outside of downing street party central as well.
The sun etc seem to have a serious agenda against the labour party...I wonder why...
The sun had their own staff party during lockdown as well seemingly....
Oh they also tried to move their old mate who was the editor of the daily mail...which also constantly runs down the labour party....to become the head of OFCOM...
But that one at least fell through.
He is now the editor in chief of DMG media...so I would expect the crazy pro conservative and anti labour stories to kick up another gear
Labour are lucky that the Barry Gardiner story has been pushed off the news by Johnson.
Johnson is deeply damaged goods now among the voting public. His MPs and party are looking to the successor , Johnson is just holding the place warm so an unruly succession can be avoided.
Shitmidas is his name now.
I love how "follow the science" has become something people say and accept like "the science" has one absolute an universal truth.. 🙄
The Guardian has a handy list of sacrificial goats lined up to take the blame for the parties.
Would he be cynical enough to force the BBC to close services and potentially make thousands of redundancies, ? ... likely to prove popular with Conservative party members and supporters, as well as the rightwing media who have yet to call for Johnson to quit.
Will this pressurise the BBC to take the heat off him ?
Hard to say, maybe. Spot the dead cat on https://www.bbc.com/news

Looks like Johnson attended another party...ffs where does he get the time...
Tbh he is toast, someone on the inside is releasing this and given how careless they have been there is probably a mountain of new allegations and evidence still to surface.
In the short term they will try to throw some staffers under the bus with the hope that will deflect the pressure.
However unless they quench the source of the leaks this won't go away.
