I'll weld Number 10 and especially Number 11 for a fiver.

No, that's because the Govt won't be able to find enough welders willing to accept minimum wage after Brexit.

Ministers were hard at work planning their 2021 Covid response whilst all around them very junior very expendable staffers were partying like it was still 2020!

You've heard it on here first.

Hardly an apology. He did apologise for the video, but not for the actual party. Twitter now has a story doing the rounds from a whistle blower that he actually came in briefly, commented on the number of people there and then left again.

It also appears that Number 10 are preparing to throw their junior staffers under the bus by blaming them for any supposed wrongdoing. I can imagine a number of them may be sufficiently unhappy about that to talk to the press.

For Boris to utter the words "I apologise" is a rarity, regardless.

People who attended should be thrown under the bus. They knew exactly what they were doing. Of course so should whoever organised it, and if any ministers were aware they are culpable too... I could imagine it's possible they weren't aware but we'll have to see proper evidence not claims on Twitter.

So more employment tribunal applications...that will end well....

Nobody really obeyed the last one, did they? I wonder how many up in arms about the #10 shindig were doing things they weren't supposed to

We had the rarest of things, a direct apology from Boris. Clearly trying to offload any blame "I was told it never happened" but still a collector's item. I wonder how many heads will roll to try and save face?
How is Keir so ineffective with such a open goal?

Ohhh - they may be "advisory" as he risks a large rebellion if he tries to get a bill pass his back benchers.

Can you do me a favour and put Alice as your avatar for a bit?

Agreed. That's why they've concocted all this FUD about a 'new variant' so they can scare everyone into staying home. At least that's what malvolio told me.

Since Johnson couldn't organise a p--s up in a brewery, yes he is really capable of co-ordinating with other governments around the world plus the WHO.

It's going to be much harder impose another lockdown now

Apparently Labour and the SNP are playing politics by asking Johnson to go. No they are doing their job as the opposition parties.

Many did.

Only because the places we wanted to go out to had been closed by Order of The Boris. With less than a weeks notice, I might add. Still, it's nice to know the Downing Street staffers had a nice time...

[ladymuck]

One problem quoting Maggie when we have Johnson - she had ethics even if you didn't agree with them, he has none.

Sadly true.

Especially with the other DOOM thread on how judicial review will simply be bypassed / ignored if ministers don't like the outcome.
