Humiliated Downing Street officials have apologised to Buckingham Palace over a boozy party in No10 the night before Prince Philip ’s funeral.
The PM’s deputy official spokesman said: “It’s deeply regrettable that this took place at a time of national mourning, and No10 has apologised to the Palace.
“You’ve heard from the Prime Minister this week, he’s recognised No10 should be held to the highest standards and take responsibility for the things we did not get right.
“We have apologised to the Palace.”

Using the queen to inflame a political stories in the papers is probably more likely to upset her. Re-posting photos of her mourning her husband is pretty crass.Leave a comment:

Always good to upset the Queen....

Staff inside Downing Street held two staff leaving events featuring alcohol, and one with loud music, on the evening before Prince Philip’s funeral in April last year, when such social contact remained banned, according to new allegations reported on Thursday.
Eyewitnesses told the Daily Telegraph that a combined total of about 30 people took part in what appeared to be social events in different parts of Downing Street, before both gatherings combined in the garden.

Certainly a plausible candidate to a reasonably sane electorate, but the Tory membership isn't exactly that. I suppose it's remotely possible if the polling showed that she was would put the Tories emphatically ahead, because all electorates like a winner but, realistically, she is too left wing and too much of a remainer for this electorate and she probably wouldn't want the job anyway.Leave a comment:

Originally posted by WTFH View PostDefinitely not an attempt at sunlit-uplands deflecting by the Express, but they are running a story about how imports from outside the EU are up by 822%.
Although the devil is in the detail...
1. It was for the month of January last year (not the whole year, just the one month)
2. It was reported in May last year
3. It was for one vegetable - courgettes
4. It was for imports from Morocco
So, the actual story is that the UK imported more of one vegetable from one country that happens to be outside the EU in a particular month than it had for the same month a year previously.
Not exports, not some great trade deal, not wide-ranging, but a great distraction to those who need it.Leave a comment:
