Spockydog Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 As with any scandal, what is exposed is usually only the tip of the iceberg. I wonder how many full-blown serial rapists we have amongst our MPs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartofice Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 The line now is that Boris just 'forgot' about the whole Pincher thing... which knowing Boris is probably quite likely. However this is just another example of the absolute chaos at No.10, they can't even hold onto a single lie properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of threads back, I noted the ICGS report which identified 56 MPs of all parties against whom there were outstanding complaints (70 complaints in all). That's a huge proportion. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/56-mps-face-sexual-misconduct-claims-znv2m9x8s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derfel Cadarn Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Every time the government gets questioned regarding a scandal touching on Johnson (or indeed, his johnson), it turns into a Choose Your Own Adventure.

A Horse Named Stranger Posted July 5, 2022 Author Share Posted July 5, 2022 Can't help to think of one irony in this situation. One of the most morally compromised politicians in the UK, who rode into Downing Street on one of Putin's pet projects, is now now hiding behind Selenskyy (providing him with everything he can, in exchange for public statements about the awesomeness of Johnson) and his war against Putin's invaders. A less compromised leader might be less dependant to try to take cover behind the war in Ukraine and less forthcoming with equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spockydog Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 According to my maw, Starmer has already been fined and has taken out an injunction to prevent it being reported. She thinks a judge could be persuaded that keeping this secret would somehow be in the public interest. I would say this is obviously nothing but GB News horseshit, but who the fuck knows these days. ETA: Hmmm. Pippa Crerar has deleted her tweet about the CPS and Durham Police. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETA: Hmmm. Pippa Crerar has deleted her tweet about the CPS and Durham Police. I’m skeptical. Too many people woukd know, from the cops who investigated, to staff issuing the fine paperwork, printing it, to court staff processing it etc etc, for him to believe he could cover it up. And why would a judge grant an injunction? Might be wrong but more likely a right-wing (or far left) smear to cast doubts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derfel Cadarn Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 GB News are claiming he has an injunction while the appeal lasts, which is more credible. Except that would mean GB News have broken the injunction and would face legal trouble. More likely a stunt to get viewers, and they can always pretend it came from a source rather than their febrile imaginations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dog-days Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Sunak and Javid obviously coordinated their resignations - does this mean they've got someone lined up, or they're going to back each other as PM (Sunak) and Chancellor (Javid)? Sunak's letter sounds as if he does still think he might have a chance at the top job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
