I assume this is due to defensible developments in his life. Anyone care to comment?

I would have thought he was out there doing a bit of 'disaster capitalism'

woodencoffeetable · 28/03/2020 20:26

good.

Duchessofblandings · 28/03/2020 20:27

Lovely, isn’t it?

CheriLittlebottom · 28/03/2020 20:27

Just saw thread title and thought, 'thank fuck, that smug twat is the last thing we need'.

No idea what you're alluding to though, OP. Care to share?

ChateauMyself · 28/03/2020 20:28

Silver linings...

Obsidian77 · 28/03/2020 20:28

Long may it continue.

SquishySquirmy · 28/03/2020 20:31

What clouds said.
He's busy trying to buy shares while they are cheap or speculating on cereal crops.

One of the few perks of this pandemic.

Whatdayisit2 · 28/03/2020 20:33

Oh well

HollowTalk · 28/03/2020 20:34

He hasn't been seen for ages, has he? Has he even got a ministerial role?

corlan · 28/03/2020 20:36

I would comment if I knew what you are talking about.
As my teenager would say - spill the tea!

IzzyGee · 28/03/2020 20:40

Cheri I genuinely have no idea. I am old enough to know that when someone disappears so quickly from public view it is usually because those around them and ‘in the know’ realise that that discretion is the only option.

I just think it’s odd that he’s leaving Michael G and Boris to keep the show on the road. Is it because he’s abandoned them to wait out the Brexit shit show (and subsequent CV19 trauma) or has something truly unfortunate happened?

I think his career in public life was finished when he was seen lolling about looking bored during a parliamentary debate, and then he made those awful comments about the Grenfell tragedy. Hopefully he won't pop up again. But a pp is right - he is probably busy doing some disaster capitalism and making a fortune out of the current situation sadly.

GuyFawkesDay · 28/03/2020 20:46

I'd like to say I missed him but.....nope.

ChardonnaysPetDragon · 28/03/2020 20:46

Can't say I miss him.

TheChosenTwo · 28/03/2020 20:47

Yes it’s one good thing in all of this. Bad enough seeing so much of Boris’s mug on the telly at the moment, couldn’t cope with RM aswell!

Brookeinabook · 28/03/2020 20:49

I think some of the 'baddies' like him and Priti Patel are not being brought out during the coronavirus so they don't make people even more traumatised.

Thinkinghappythoughts · 28/03/2020 20:49

defensible developments in his life

Are you sure you don't know anything that you can tell us?

purplepandas · 28/03/2020 20:51

Be grateful he's not your bloody MP, he's mine. Aghhh.

Stripeyfrog · 28/03/2020 20:55

One of the few perks of this pandemic.

I commented to DH we (thankfully) hadnt seen his smug face around for a while. The last I remember him doing was some cringe tweet about crisps!

AnneJeanne · 28/03/2020 20:55

He’s a twat but not really Boris’s kind of twat. ?

Thistlepicker · 28/03/2020 20:56

Boris haaaaaates him.

IzzyGee · 28/03/2020 20:59

Thistle..... I guess Boris is a bit new money for Jacob. So JRM probably is just busy raping and pillaging

Keeping out of sight so no one can blame him for saying anything about certain demographics being dispensable that might mean he isn't in the place he thinks he might be when it's all over

ocarinan · 28/03/2020 21:17

I wonder how he's coping without Nanny taking care of everything?
