Will Boris eat his cake and still have it?

inews is the old i, run by the Daily Mail group and using the same 'journalists' that update the Daily Mail website. If you want an impartial update as to the goings on in Downing Street, inews is not the best go to source. I'm just mentioning this in the event you didn't know it was DMG owned and run.

I heard the story on the radio and it was the first free link I Googled.

It's been made clear it's factually wrong, there's no argument.

And the analogy is poor. This is like saying Boris should resign because there were covid breaches in regional conservative offices outside London which he had no direct links with, rather than that he should resign because there were breaches in his daily workplace, breaches involving his closest co-workers (ministers) and his family, breaches organised by his personal secretary, breaches in his garden, breaches in his personal dwelling.

It's just a dumb one-liner that went badly. Not sure where and why it came from or what he hoped to gain from it.

I thoight I just answered that.

Yes it was dumb and inaccurate. It was not, however, irrelevant.

You thought wrong. I already explained why...

Better for your continuing career in the civil service to resign before you get sacked for breaking the law. These are not politicians after all....

No it's the rats leaping off the deck before "Big Dog" drop kicks them off, not that either form of their departure will do him much good.

I wouldn't be surprised if he has gone, voluntarily or otherwise, by the end of this month.

5 aides now resigned.

But back to the title of the thread, and we'll go from cake to Pie...
