Couldn’t agree more.

I think that's probably it.

40 new hospitals?

None of Boris Johnson’s 40 ‘new hospitals’ will be fully built by the next election, an NHS chief has said - despite No 10 denials.

It is important to remember that Boris also didn't know that birthday parties were against the law, even though he told us that each evening...

Other that what a woman is, what does Boris actually know?

Boris Johnson's spokesman says he had to "balance" Chris Pincher's "skills" and the "allegations" against him when he was appointed as deputy chief whip

Don't forget that Boris was also in charge of party entertainment, which is how he could be working at the parties when others were not.

I wonder if Boris is in the fridge now, because he is upset that Pincher never pinched him at one of the many parties.

Does the same apply to a teacher, who has amazing classroom skills, but sometimes gropes the students?

It is important to remember that this is a man who is not aware of how many children he has.

But he does know what a woman is.

Chris Pincher skills

1. Arse licking

it wasn’t deemed appropriate to stop the appointment because of any unsubstantiated allegations

So he knew all about the old allegations and those were water under the bridge, and knew all about the new allegations, but felt they weren’t “substantiated”. What exactly would make these new allegations substantiated? Surely nothing short of a conviction?

So he is saying the only way of blocking Boris would have been if Pincher had already been in jail, basically.

I do wonder if these sleaze bags are supplying other MPs with hookers or drugs or something. I just cannot see why they are tolerated otherwise, unless they have some sort of hold over their colleagues.

An answer to that tweet....

Probably just as well Harold Shipman wasn't around to co-ordinate the Covid response

Even Carrie knew

EXCLUSIVE: Carrie Johnson openly questioned Pincher’s suitability as a whip as far back as 2017, when she was working at CCHQ. Full story below

The replies

That's actually very interesting and probably completely true.

The same way we often said he covered for Cummings as he must know where the bodies were!

I've heard of him because he's leading on government proposals on reform of provision for children with SEND. Predictably, he's following the party line that it's all going to be wonderful, despite blatantly being focussed on saving money at the expense of disabled children.

"Chris Pincher was reported for being drunk in the Commons on Tuesday afternoon - 24 hours before his alleged groping incident - but nothing was done, a senior Tory MP tells me tonight."

Drunk at work. Surely a by-election??

I dunno if being pissed in the HoC is fatal enough, do you remember that footage of Gove looking 3 sheets to the wind?

But, as far as I know, Gove wasn't reported. If Pincher was reported alarm bells should have gone off. Nothing happened because they can't afford to lose another toady and/or it's a regular occurrence.

They'll put up with pissed MPs rather than risk losing a Whip or a vote or leverage.

And Pincher must have been piiiiiiiissed to be reported because, as we all know, it is perfectly normal for them all to drink throughout their working day.

Even the met think Johnson drinking during the day - is working

It is because he has to keep the pot plants watered.

Ah, now it makes sense. BJ mistook Carrie for a pot plant and watered her in his accustomed way...

I have now made myself feel sick.
