        She’s a Permanent Secretary in the Cabinet Office and she’s looking into the various alleged Christmas parties held in Downing Street during lockdown. She has a reputation for leading the most vigorous internal investigations.

        Profile on BBC Sounds.

        What do we know about Sue Gray.

        ***

        Rather suspect what ‘they’ know and how ‘they’ run with it will be quite revealing.

    Next bit Our Dear Leader Sir Keir Starmer

    Well, there we have it. After months of deceit and deception, the pathetic spectacle of a man who’s run out of road.
    (line BBC chose to quote)

    His defence, that he didn’t realise he was at a party, is so ridiculous that it’s actually offensive to the British public.

    He’s finally been forced to admit what everyone knew that when the whole country was locked down, he was hosting *boozy*parties in Downing Street.
    (loaded language)

    Is he now going to do but decent thing and resign?

    After the noise Boris finally replies

    I want to I want to repeat that I thought it was a work event
    and Mr Speaker, I regret very much that we did not do things differently that evening.
    .. as I said, and I take responsibility and I apologise, Mr. Speaker, but as for as for his his political point, I don’t think that he should pre-empt the outcome of the inquiry.

    He will have he will have a further opportunity, I hope to question me as soon as possible.

    Starmer

    Well, that apology was pretty worthless wasn’t it?
    (What’s the point in apologising if people then mock you for it anyway ?)
    Let me tell him why this matters. Yesterday, in this chamber, honourable members told heart wrenching stories about the sacrifices people across the country were making.
    This House and the whole country were moved by the honourable member for Strangford as he talked about his mother-in-law dying alone.
    He was following the rules whilst the Prime Minister was *partying *in Downing Street. (spin)

    Is the prime minister really so contemptuous of the British public that he thinks he could just ride this out?

    Boris Johnson

    … Nobody who heard that could fail to have been moved.
    And I know that people up and down the country have made huge sacrifices throughout this pandemic,
    and I understand the anger the rage that they feel at the thought that the people in Downing Street we’re not following those rules.
    I regret the way the event I have described was handled.
    I bitterly regret it and wish that we could have done things differently than I have and will continue to apologise for what we did….

      Jump forwards to Boris replying to Starmer
      saying “Can’t the Prime Minister see why the British public thinks he’s lying through his teeth?
      .. Those words are technically wrong, cos you are not allowed to call another MP a liar
      However when Boris protested the speaker said No Starmer was not expressing his own opinion, but rather the public’s ..so Boris first called the speaker wrong. and then called Starmer wrong

      Mr Speaker, it’s up to the right honourable gentleman to choose how he conducts himself in this place.
      (uproar)

      He is wrong. I say to him that he’s wrong.
      He’s wrong in what he said.
      .. and is wrong in several key respects.

      But Mr Speaker that does not detract from the the basic point that I want to make today, which is I accept that we should have done things differently on that evening.

      As I as I said to the house,
      I believe that the events in question were within the guidance
      and were within the rules
      and that was certainly the assumption on which I operated
      but can I say to him as a speaker that he should wait, before he jumps to conclusions, because a lawyer should respect the inquiry.
      I hope that he will wait until the facts are established and brought to this House.

      Later Boris replies get in that Britain has masses more testing than most countries
      Massses more vaccinations etc.

    The media narrative is gripping
    cos it is so extraordinary
    ‘ Here we were one foot nailed to the floor, while members of our families died alone
    Yet the people in Downing street are so arrogant they were having boozy parties all the time’

    There is an alternative that might fit better with Ockham’s Razor
    That Boris knows about Covid cos he nearly died from it and spent weeks in hospital.

    That the top civil servant was not arrogant or stupid, but actually knew how the rules were written
    That they did stop people having parties AT HOME,
    but that workplace rules were different
    and that when he issued invitations for an outdoor socially distanced meetup he knew that was within the law.

    And that journos knew this too, so despite their being 100 email invitations, they didn’t try to make anything of it until 20 months later.

    Weak Boris actually did give a strong performance at the dispatch box
    ..Instead of leaking stuff to the press beforehand
    he stayed with in the rules and saved his apology statement for parliament.
    Then when Starmer stood up and tried all his hyperbole, Boris stood up and answered him firmly ..no caving in
    He looked way stronger than Mrs May, or Corbyn etc. .. but I expect he hi team had really really been preparing.

    Speaker Lindsay Hoyle has chosen to open the biggest Parliamentary can of worms ever, and it’s unlikely he’ll be able to close it again without basically admitting he has improperly supported Keir Starmer in the House of Commons in getting away with breaking parliamentary rules and precedent by calling an opponent ‘a liar’, simply by pre-attaching the phrase ‘….the public thinks….’

    Oh what fun it’s going to be when all sorts of claims are uttered by anyone else – and there will definitely be those who will make use of this ruling.

    A year on, has Trump benefited from a Twitter ban?
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-59948946

    Just look at the picture the slimy BBC chose to put of Trump:

    _122666241_f9c6f775-f52b-40a5-883d-804f9b44e6f4.jpg

    The reason Trump got banned had nothing to do with bad language. He said things which the Left didn’t agree with and unilaterally decided were untrue simply because it didn’t suit their own agenda.

    My favourite was how they banned any claims that the election was rigged without having any evidence at all to counter his claims.

    Trump is like Farage : when you read what the far-Left media such as the BBC claim he said and when you listen to him actually say it, they are not the same thing at all.

    Speculation circulating online in 2020 has resurfaced on social media claiming that UK Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer was responsible for failing to prosecute Jimmy Savile, the late TV and radio presenter revealed after his death to be one of Britain’s most prolific sex offenders. Starmer was the head of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) at the time of the incidents, but he was not the reviewing lawyer for the case, the CPS said and a report on the handling of the cases showed.

    3. The US economy is heading towards basket case levels with the highest inflation rise in 40 years.

    https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/december-inflation-consumer-price-index

    America is waking up to the total shambles they have sleep-walked into it seems

    I can see the democrats ending up with an unworkable Senate after the mid-terms and I can see Trump back in the White House come the next elections and this time he will have the power of the Senate to crush the dodgy actions of the election officials. This being the reason that Biden is trying to re-write the constitution so that the incumbent President can have more control over individual States voting rights. He is running scared!

    I can only hope that this rubs off on the UK in due course.

    Bad day?

    The boss of Ovo Energy has blamed a “bad day” for ridiculous advice to customers on how to stay warm amid soaring bills.

    Stephen Fitzpatrick told the BBC he felt “really embarrassed” about the 10-point plan, which included “doing a few star jumps” and cuddling pets.

    Ovo apologised on Tuesday, and Mr Fitzpatrick went on BBC TV and radio on Wednesday to repeat how sorry he was.

    “We’re a large company and somebody had a bad day,” he said.

    As pressure mounts on Boris Johnson over whether he attended a No 10 party during lockdown in May 2020, the BBC has spoken to families of people who died that same month.

    Alejandra Godoy – who lost her mother – said she “really hates” the PM.

    Lisa Wilkie filmed her brother dying in intensive care, because her mother wasn’t allowed to attend.

    Amanda McEgan’s daughter died from cancer and spent the last months of her life unable to see friends and some family members.

    And shouldn’t Dvjokovik give up tennis after lying on his visa application for Australia? He apologised, so according to the BBC that’s ok. Boris apologies, and it wasn’t.

    I thought he admitted attendance?

    That said, I am intrigued as to the extent of these buildings where foot in it pols live, and work?

    Watched Armageddon the other day and there was an aerial shot of the White House. Looks quite small, though there is a long annexe off to one side.

    Based on watching ‘West Wing’ I think that’s where all the gofers are rammed. I wonder if No.10 is similar.

    Certainly the media do like blurring the actions of civil servants with hapless elected pols.

      Guest, I have a notion it may be the other way round. The extension is ‘The Residence’ and the impressive bit is the working part of the WH. Think it is open to the public quite a bit of the time and there can sometimes be official guided tours – excluding The Residence.

      Portilo – on GBNews – ran through the recent screw ups – ranging from Raab on holiday ( same with the rest of the FCO ) – the Resigned MP for randox – now a PM personal secretary sending out a ‘bring a bottle ‘ email – plus picture …..oh yeah – and a cabinet secretary having to recuse himself because he went to a party ( event ) ….
      In the background – a new virus – inflation – shortages – energy prices …. A dysfunctional NHS ….

      It seems they only cancel those whose views they won’t tolerate.

    If anyone is wondering about the state of the Tory party just take a read of this and the unsuitability of their leader Boris the bottler Johnson:

    The Canadian Government demonstrates a very warped sense of priorities.

    Apparently you must now be vaccinated to be able to access cannabis stores with all the health and mental problems that this drug brings with it.

    I know this from first hand experience with people I have known who are now severely mentally damaged through regular cannabis use and who’s lives are ruined by it’s effects both mentally and physically.

    I can only shake my head at the sheer lunacy of the double standards of these people.

    No doubt our Justin partakes I would guess as no doubt do many in Broadcasting House!

    I wonder if Prince Andrew will be visiting the Ecuador Embassy in the near future.

    Have you watched much of GBNews ? I’ve just been watching Farage have a pint with M . Portillo . I was trying to put a finger on what makes it so different and better from the BBC . And the answer? It is unrestrained . There is not the constant tick box false ‘social justice ‘ crap infecting everything BBC .

    However the big question of the day remains whether 57 letters will go into the 1922 committee – about half a dozen have gone public – I wonder if this is the tip of the iceberg ?

    Soonak seems to be doing a John major ( at the dentists when the knives were going into M Thatcher )….

    Not BBC – not nut nut – but the news that a met plod has been charged with more alleged rapes and sex offences …. (29?)

    … once upon a time such a think would have shaken the earth . But now there is not even a tremor . I wonder what happened to plod ?

    BBC headlines….Ministers ask Johnson to quit…it’s as though the whole cabinet want him out..Infact 28 of the 30 have come out in support…. The other two are self confessed Boris haters, Wragg and Ross..

    Sky news sends a correspondent to Boris’s constituency to assess the mood and hoping for a scoop. Poor correspondent was for in for a surprise, he had to admit that a majority still stood by Boris.

    It all goes to show, the public really couldn’t give a rat’s arse about a drink or two that happened nearly two years ago, more important things going on in the world .Sadly this won’t stop the media persuing Boris.

    Interesting to see on the BBC that the Prince Andrew story was the main headline for just an hour or so before we got back to Boris..
