Truss and her companions drank two bottles of dry gin, three £153 bottles of Pazo Barrantes Albariño, a Spanish white wine and two bottles of the French red Coudoulet de Beaucastel at £130 a bottle, it was reported.

Fucking lightweights...
 
Pretty damning.

It's such an utter bollocks excuse anyway. You get people who have been brought up part-speaking a non-native language at home with their relatives but never studying it, so they can't really write or read it properly, but they can get along in conversation. Not the other way round!
 
Lying again in the House of Commons today.

In October the prime minister said that fears about inflation were unfounded, but working people across the country are starting the new year facing rising bills and ballooning prices, so how did he get it so wrong?

Johnson replied:

Of course I said no such thing because inflation is always something that we have to be careful about, but what we are doing is making sure that we protect the people of this country throughout what is unquestionably going to be a difficult period.

Whilst the government urges people to work from home where possible the arsehole who is the leader of the house of commons, replying to a request for members being able to participate virtually (only 50 are currently isolating with Covid), stated...

I am sorry that [Wishart] doesn’t like doing his job, that he wishes to enjoy himself sitting at home, and that he doesn’t want to do what members of parliament are expected to do, and turn up in the House of Commons.

It appears that the PM changed mobile phones and forgot to give Lord Geidt the whatsapp message that showed that he was chasing Lord Brownlow for extra funds to pay for his flat redecoration. I agree that it doesn't alter his previous argument that he didn't know who was paying for it (dodgy as fuck but hey ho) but is it only me who thinks that how the money was paid back is equally more important to this story.

A PM asking for help to pay for nannies and pleading poverty but suddenly finds £50k down the back of his expensive settee should be part of the investigation.

A QUARTER of the entire Parliamentary language training budget for 650 MPs is spent on just one MP - Daniel Kawczynski.
 
An extract of the letter from Lord Geidt to the PM.

So the Cabinet office knew that there was the offer to send all of the communications from Lord Brownlow but declined to either take up the offer or tell Geidt of the offer and when they found out that evidence of such messages between Jonson and Brownlow had come to light they decided not to tell Geidt.

You had also stated that you could not recall any messages not hitherto disclosed having passed between you and Lord Brownlow. Even if you had no such recollection, I am told that Downing Street maintained close contact with him. Lord Brownlow had evidently given assurance that he had records of conversations and contacts with you. Accordingly, at a time when these contacts were not only under public scrutiny but also the subject of my own inquiry, it is unsatisfactory that this was not checked with him more thoroughly, including as part of the Cabinet Office’s work. In particular, I note that Lord Brownlow offered to furnish the Cabinet Office with all the material (which would include the Missing Exchange) that he would be providing to the Electoral Commission. The offer was not accepted by the Cabinet Office, thus having the effect of excluding the Missing Exchange from the documentary record that was provided to me. It seems extraordinary that the offer was not accepted by the Cabinet Office. Moreover, at no stage was I made aware that the offer by Lord Brownlow to share this information had earlier been made and had not been taken up.
I have been told that as early as 17 November a number of individuals who work on your behalf became aware of the Missing Exchange. This was as a result of the Electoral Commission’s processes prior to publication of their report. Aspects of the Missing Exchange were actively discussed by these individuals alongside my original report. Without any reference to the Independent Adviser, I understand that those individuals concluded that the Missing Exchange ‘was in line with the conclusions of [my] report’. Had these speculative judgements been briefed to others, including you, they would have provided false comfort. I am assured that no such briefing was given. Nevertheless, it was not even considered – and no advice was sought – either then or subsequently as to whether the Independent Adviser - similarly an adviser to the Prime Minister - could be alerted, in confidence, to the simple fact of the Missing Exchange. There may well have been obstacles to overcome to do so. The fact remains, however, that, as soon as the Missing Exchange came to light, Downing Street made no attempt to inform the Prime Minister’s Independent Adviser. On the day of publication of the Electoral Commission’s final report (Thursday 9 December), it would have been reasonable, to put it mildly, for the Independent Adviser to have been informed immediately once the single fact emerged that the Missing Exchange had come to light. Instead, I knew nothing of the report’s publication at all on the day until privately alerted by others to media reporting.

There's also a reply from Brownlow to Johnson telling him that the trust wasn't set up but approval for the funds for the flat only had one person to go through, himself.
Where did Johnson think that the funding was coming from then?

Johnson and the people surrounding him just don't give a fuck. Have an Independent Adviser on the ministerial code give advice that you don't like (Priti Vacant)? Just ignore it and let him resign. Get a new guy in to the job and he's asked to look into where funds came from to refurbish your flat? Don't give him all the evidence when the evidence comes to light still don't bother to tell him. Geidt should have resigned as he's been made to look like a fool in his first task and any humble apologies or promises to put things right in the future should have been passed onto his successor.

Cummings makes a claim about another garden drinks gathering at No.10 whilst denying that the one he was pictured in, was such an event.

Boris Johnson’s former top adviser Dominic Cummings has alleged there was a lockdown-breaking party in the Downing Street garden in May 2020 after an emailed invitation to “socially distanced drinks”.

Cummings, who left No 10 in November that year, said people were invited to the gathering by a senior Downing Street official who he said should have been removed from their job because of failings over Covid.

In a lengthy blogpost, he claimed he had warned at the time that it “seemed to be against the rules and should not happen”. He said this was in writing and could be uncovered by an inquiry into lockdown-busting parties currently being conducted by the Cabinet Office official Sue Gray.
 
He never has. His career has always been about brazening it out, hoping the storm blows over, people forget etc.
What is really horrendous is how this appears to have caught on through the ranks of the tories, like erm, a virus.
