Cannot believe this. Absolutely flabbergasted. 

[Ira Gaines]

I can 100% believe it. We should all know by now exactly what these people are.

Quite disgusting and yet not at all a surprise. I try not to reduce politics to name calling but so many Conservatives are just scum including most government ministers.

It was mentioned on Marr this morning that Johnson had been contacted a number of times to discuss the current problem but was not interested, he will be too busy mourning the duke popping his clogs even although he wont even have to tidy himself up for the funeral with the restricted numbers, he seems to be quite lucky in that when serious matters need sorted something comes up that allows him to slip into the background until the heat dies down.

His barber must have a white stick. The state of that hair today, looks like your 3yo daughter after she got a hold of a pair of scissors. What the f**k do you ask for to end up with that, just looks like random chunks have been hacked out it.

A long-bald, or an uncomb-over. He’s vain enough to believe that messing what’s left into frizz hides the thinning.

Creepy Tory MP trying to shag a vulnerable 21 year old intern, not sacked. The entire party is rotten to the core. If Johnson can be PM with his track record why should there be consequences for any tory?

How on earth does he get to keep his job? What a repellent individual. I despair.

Once again, folks, they can literally do whatever they want for the next couple of years, as there's nobody at the top with the morality to stop them. The only way tragic VLs and sociopaths like Roberts and Patel will be sacked is if they keep up their behaviour into the year before the next election, when people might actually remember anything they've done and change their vote accordingly.

I'm not entirely sure what it'll count for at that point either.

Whip withdrawn. No official Conservative candidate to stand against them. Back in the fold within months of the election.

In Patel's case. Depends on how many mates the Welsh creep has.

This week's Private Eye has a good page on the Defence review including this article

The final number of F35s to be procured hasn't been settled on yet. 48 is what has already been definitely committed to. It'll likely end up somewhere between 60 and 80, depending on how well or not the RAF Tempest programme goes, in addition to the RAF's Mosquito, Alvina and Navy's Vixen drone programmes progress.

The article is also wrong in so much as it was never the plan to operate two full Carrier groups. You don't build two in order to operate two simultaneously in anything but a dire emergency. You build two to keep one available at all times. The French Navy, for example only has the one Carrier, and during refits and maintenance the French Navy has no means of projecting itself. And the De Gaulle has never been particularly brilliant in terms of reliability either. So, the UK calculation is to build two to keep one active at all times.

The final point about Carrier vulnerability in the face of drones and missiles is really nothing new. Carriers have been vulnerable to airborne attack since the earliest days of naval aviation.  Someone will upgrade a drone or missile system, so you upgrade your own early warning systems, air defence missiles and interceptors.

My point was that nothing they do is likely to make a difference. They'll still poll way higher and still win elections. As long as they back the PM, they'll be safe from any accountability.

Oh aye, absolutely.

It's going to be interesting to see what they have to do to reach the mid-Nineties level of disgust that people felt for the Tory party. TBH, they're probably safe until they totally f**k the economy in some Black Wednesday fashion that they can't wriggle out of. Because they were shagging everyone's mum for a bet.

That had crossed my mind, but they have targets for a blame game to use, and that would work better than it should.

[Boo Khaki]

I'm not sure that unsavoury revelations in the run-up to an election would actually carry any consequences for these charlatans. Did the Jennifer Arcuri cash and shagging thing not break well in advance of Boris' thumping 2019 landslide?

It depends on the timing, I suppose.

If everything starts going (even more) tits up financially, they can always try citing the legacy of Covid, those nasty EU chaps not giving us everything we want, etc...but you can only cry wolf so many times. Eventually people will stop taking those as the excuses they're absolutely going to be used as in the next election campaign.

Aye but once folk get to the point they're not buying the 'covid and big ,bad bullies from the eu' rhetoric as to why the country is in a state there's only one place they will turn to for distraction and blame.

That could be interesting.

I figured that it would be the Muslims, but maybe it's time for someone else to get a go.

"Yes, but it's Boris. What's he like, eh?  "

He's managed to get himself into that small group of folk at the top of society who can do no wrong as far as most people are concerned (as we've just seen with the Duke of Edinburgh). If any of these scandals involved Prime Minister Corbyn, or even other Tory PMs, the same folk would be demanding their resignation. It'll be interesting to see how far he can push it; maybe he'll just retire in "triumph".

[NotThePars]

Corbyn produced documents which showed are beloved NHS was on the table for talks and the press immediately denounced it as Russian obtained hysteria. 

There's nothing meaningful to hold them to account now at a national level beyond rioting. The BBC were being openly threatened by the Tories during the last election and they still did their dirty work.
