Interested to see how the Mail, Telegraph and Sun react to the circus. They hope to steer political views via there journalists. But they also are aware of the need to boost sales of their rags. The Telegraph will probably continue to support the unacceptable. The Mail will be looking at public opinion (especially middle class woman) and to be honest no one cares what the Sun thinks anymore now it has stopped reluctantly pedalling porn (Look at its recent front pages!??!!).

That was not an apology for his actions. “I believed implicitly that this was a work event”. He washer for 25 minutes and presumably saw no work being done., He apologised on your behalf for misunderstanding him. He also apologised for being caught not doing anything wrong unless Sue Gray finds out and lets him know what it is that he hasn’t done and knows nothing about.

I am looking forward to this – hopefully with Angela Rayner rather than Keir Hardy. Just seen it is Keir Starmer, I hope he does better.

What will Johnson’s tactic be? Outright denial maybe difficult. He can defer to Sue Gray’s investigation – but we know that the question will then be ‘why ask her where you were?. He could apologise – but the implications of this are too big as that would acknowledge that he lied to Parliament. Will the Speaker let him get away with obscurification and lying again?

There is just one question which should be repeated. “Will you resign because ..” And preferably with yes no answers. The general public loses interest after about 10 seconds of multiple questions. “Did you attend a garden party on?” Yes or No. etc. I suspect that 6 questions is not enough.

The ending can have multiple reasons, I would recommend one at a time. The speaker should also be prepared to stop the PM from talking about vaccination, boosters, and Christmas. Answer the question or shut up. The names of Tory MP’s supporting him with their braying should also be published. Sunak and Truss will sit on their front bench and nod like the dogs in the back of the car window they seem to portray.

Another party revelation. Why so long after the events has this been divulged. The die hard Tories will complain about the press. Blame the messenger rather than the culprit. The leak to the wine and cheese party in Downing Street was obviously a government official as the press do not have access to Downing Street to take photo’s of private parties.

New Years Resolution – I will unfollow anyone who has emojis in their headline. It is childish and purile.

With government campaign for vaccination still at the forefront of its campaign against Covid the tory right wing is manoeuvring against the cost. Calls for an end to free test kits are growing along with a demand to end all restrictions. At the same time more NHS trusts are declaring critical situations.

Double standards and hypocrisy are underlined by the Attorney generals comments regarding the mass murderer Edward Colson’s statue. She is making political moves regarding the juries decision whilst totally ignoring police inaction over Downing Street Parties and the illusion of an enquiry into Downing Street refurbishments scandal.
