#swallowbackfriday was trending on twitter yesterday. That unredacted list was created by Sir Gavin Williamson to have blackmail material on mps to get them voting the right way and was leaked originally redacted to the right wing blog Guido Fawkes. Creepy perverts abound on the tory benches sick in the head a lot of them it does start to feel we are going somewhere dark with the downfall of responsible representative democracy. Angela Rayners reported scum remark hardly touches the sides of this cesspit.

Seems there are more stories coming out about Pincher going back almost a decade.

I don't see how he can remain an MP.

I don't understand how he could have got the Whip job in the first place.

This has to be another nail in BloJo's coffin. Why was this man even allowed within sniffing distance of the Whip's office?

Exactly.

Nice to see Mark Francois recently married. According to well placed sources the unpleasantness he suffered a while back was the actions of a woman spurned when he was running on 2 horses so to speak.Got that from a local tory activist in Rayleigh when he was campaigning for the locals.

I wonder if there are odds offered by bookmakers as to what will be uncovered next week?

Notonthestairs · 02/07/2022 10:54

Glass of wine in the office? So Private Eye didn't check their story? Hhhhmmm. I suspect there is a bit of reputation management going on here.

I think you might be right

’m pretty sure this story is bollocks and Conor Burns is serving as a patsy here — a role he has fulfilled many times

Pincher is an arch-loyalist of BJ's, that's why. Parish is not. You could see the difference in how the two men were treated by BJ and others for their sleazy behaviour.

Notonthestairs · 02/07/2022 11:05

Yes Burns is a Johnson stooge. He was the one whispering to Johnson right before Johnson made his claim about Starmer protecting Savile.

He doesn't have the nicest track record himself -

"The international trade minister, Conor Burns, was found by the standards committee to have made a series of veiled threats while attempting to intervene in his father’s dispute over a loan.
The committee recommended a suspension from parliament over multiple breaches of the MPs’ code before No 10 announced his resignation. A Downing Street spokesman said Burns had resigned after the committee’s report."

This is what happens when you have a lying bag of lies for a leader.

This. And also amazing new name for our esteemed leader.

The problem with serial narcissistic liars in high office is that anything is believable and truth no longer matters. They taint everything they touch with their own base morals. We really are in their mad house now.

It wasn't Williamson who walked in on the act, it was Conor Burns of the 'ambushed by a cake' excuse

www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boris-johnson-carrie-conor-burns-b2113988.html

At least the story has at last made it into the mainstream press. Let's hope the other papers are brave enough to pick it up.

Grawlix · 02/07/2022 11:18

This thread about Conor Burns is highly illuminating but not reassuring.

Sadly Andrew Rosindell only retweets mostly royal family stuff and blocks any comments on his feed. Its a shame as he used to be a prolific Brexiteer gobshite. Most curious.

Nanny, rather than hairdresser? Or is the latter, child no 13?

I really hope that nose operation was a vasectomy

vera99 · 02/07/2022 11:42

Good troll.

guinnessguzzler · 02/07/2022 12:30

Sharing a glass of wine, eh? Is that what they're calling it these days 😂

I'd be embarrassed for them if they weren't such genuinely horrific human beings.

Notonthestairs · 02/07/2022 12:34

At this rate Johnson will be repopulating parts of the UK (& Canada) on his own. Future episodes of Who Do You Think You Are? will all track back to Johnson. Six Degrees of Johnson instead of Kevin Bacon.

Grawlix - that Twitter thread is depressing. We are governed by a bunch of spivs & cretins.

OriginalM · 02/07/2022 12:34

So is Johnson meant to have cheated on Carrie as well with the reports of another child or is when he was married to his previous king suffering wife?

Notonthestairs · 02/07/2022 12:39

James Goldsmith said when a wife marries his mistress he creates a job vacancy.
