Interesting thread from Peston. It seems Johnson has not received a questionnaire from the Met for the 20the May BYOB party even though he was indisputably there.

Full speech.Ahem...

You see me here, you gods, a poor old man
As full of grief as age, wretched in both.
If it be you that stirs these daughters’ hearts
Against their father, fool me not so much
To bear it tamely. Touch me with noble anger,
And let not women’s weapons, waterdrops,
Stain my man’s cheeks! No, you unnatural hags,
I will have such revenges on you both
That all the world shall—I will do such things—
What they are yet I know not; but they shall be
The terrors of the earth. You think I’ll weep.
No, I’ll not weep.
I have full cause of weeping, but this heart

I'd like to offer Johnson another extract from Lear

"Thou art a boil, a plague sore, an embossed carbuncle"

😡

It's a very moving piece Piggy.
You have to hand it to the Bard , he had a way with words!

How convenient.

Mumsnet really is being very silly!

Seems there may be some loopholes in the garden party

Ah well, Angela has a special 'below stairs' attraction, no doubt. Misogyny and class contempt in one go. This is a true blue area. My MP hasn't got a chance of being re elected and he knows it.

DuncinToffee · 25/04/2022 19:18

Johnson would do well to start with his backbenchers

Actions speak louder than empty tweets about stories which are briefed then backfire. This reaction from the Tory benches tells you everything you need to know about sneering attitudes to sexual violence and toxic misogyny in their ranks. #HomeOfficeQuestions

Ah. Although you would have thought he would still get a questionnaire in order to officially establish the facts.

I am keeping my fingers crossed for Abbagate. That one will be hard to squirm out of.

This tweet on that thread sums it up nicely

A bunch of people people organised an illegal party in my garden so I joined them and had a glass or two with them, which was not against the rules because I was in my own garden."

the80sweregreat · 25/04/2022 19:24

Abbagate,
As they once wrote

Give give give him a fine after midnight
Won't somebody take this nightmare away

Cummings has gone quite on the photos front , I have a feeling we will never see the 300 photos or hear anymore from Dom now either.

Notonthestairs · 25/04/2022 19:25

Well it would fit with the supposed assurances that Johnson will only receive one FPN.

I see someone has suggested that because he lives at Number 11 it was his home - even though there wasn't a loophole which allowed parties for 40 at home...

newnamethanks · 25/04/2022 19:36

Oh, don't depress us further, 80s, I'm banking on Mr Cummings saving the best for last. I doubt he'll let us down, revenge being a dish best served cold, and so on.

We all know that the quoted Tory MP will never be investigated, let alone revealed and the terrors of the earth nonsense will come to nothing.

Is it Sunak? Could it be rolled into the investigation into why someone thought it important to tell the truth about the Chancellor's family not wanting to pay tax.

Are those the noises that Tory MPs make when they have identified a woman?
I understand that Boris and his gang are good at identifying women.

Duncin so distracting the guy behind has fallen asleep standing up 🤣

Amazing posts this evening. Just done the swim training run and enjoyed coming home to read quotes and quips!

L1ttledrummergirl · 25/04/2022 23:55

Maybe he doesn't need a questionnaire because he's bang to rights.

Peregrina · 26/04/2022 07:30

Maybe he doesn't need a questionnaire because he's bang to rights.

Let's hope that Dom releases a photo showing him glass in hand standing next to half a dozen others - so although it's just him enjoying his garden, why he has allowed crowd of others to be with him can't be explained away easily. Cue a rapid issue of a questionnaire when it becomes clear yet again that there is one rule for him and one for the rest of us.
