I expect most of the media will treat SV with the same consideration that the insiders, editors and proprietors usually are afforded.

I feel like MG may have been dropping clues for a while

That Sarah Vine column
Fairyliz · 03/07/2021 13:37

@Peregrina

Sarah wears shirt, £655, Victoria Beckham Sarah wears shirt that would pay for a family to survive for a month.

Scraping the barrel a bit now, with your vitriol.

Yes, but when schoolchildren are going hungry and nurses who have bailed us out over the Covid crisis are only offered a 1% rise, flaunting such wealth is tasteless. Who on earth pays £655 for a shirt anyway!

Well if I said MM pays £655 for a shirt I suppose that would be alright?

If the new lucky lady is the one some rumours suggest, then they'd still be a pair who deserved each other!

'Ploughing A New Furrow'!!!!

Thats not exactly subtle!

RedToothBrush · 03/07/2021 13:49

Btw that insta picture seems to have been from 2018. Popbitch noticed it.

Most definitely. A more perfectly matched couple would be hard to find.

Twitter is full of rumours that he's been living with a male aide - possibly Henry Newman - for some time.

No 10 is refusing to comment on whether or not he broke social distancing rules - which appears to be 2021's finest euphemism Hmm

sadperson16 · 03/07/2021 13:51

No I am not scrapping any barrel.Is vitriol the only word available to people on MN.

I particularly dislike Vine because of her revelation that she was hideously addicted to anti depressants and this was some huge injustice that was affecting thousands of women. Apparently, GPs were handing them out like sweeties and it was a National Disgrace.
The actual disgrace is her using her platform on The Mail to peddle these lies,complete with research from a man later shown to be a complete fraud.

Oh god. Not Henry Newman.

Well that might sense of all the knives out and Newman and Gove's names popping up continually.

Henry Newman is supposedly Carrie's Bestie. And Henry Newman has repeatedly been blamed for numerous leaks which he's kept denying.

Been going on for a while.

But then again the knives have been out on Newman - like they were for Hancock - for a while.

God knows.

It would be nice if they could all just keep their hands to themselves and not mix business with pleasure tbh

the80sweregreat · 03/07/2021 13:56

I've had to look him up.
Nice pic of him and Micheal Gove together looking happy.
Never heard of him before

SwedishEdith · 03/07/2021 13:58

Harry Newman seems pretty ghastly as well but he is actually quite good looking so I'm doubtful. Would it advance his career? Surely not.

Notonthestairs · 03/07/2021 13:59

I tell myself I'm quite well read etc and I then I look at threads like this one realise how little I know.

No axe to grind here but relative receptionist said this was the case backed up by her son who was a pharmacist
Zilla1 · 03/07/2021 14:00

I think they make a lovely couple. As do those in the photo on the train ,were there any substance to either or both of these scurrilous and demonstrably untrue slurs. If both were true then a truly 21st century icon for LGBTQ+ around Pride month and/or the under-served (in some senses) poly community.

Classica · 03/07/2021 14:05

I'd never heard of Henry Newman. Just looked him up. Apparently Cummings accused him of being a 'chatty rat'.

Quote from that article:

Prior to his elevation to Number 10, Mr Newman had long been viewed as a rising star among the ranks of special advisers, having served loyally under Michael Gove for a number of years.

Well....

...that paragraph is going to take on new context if rumours turn out to have merit.

sadperson16 · 03/07/2021 14:06

That’s me. I am that addict. The only real difference between me and the more common perception is that the drugs I take, antidepressants, are legal and available on prescription.

Totally unhelpful

@justasking111, sorry not sure what you mean?

longwayoff · 03/07/2021 14:09

Urgh, these politicos. They're all a bit close to one another. Feels very, very grubby.

Mumsnut · 03/07/2021 14:10

So do we think Cummings is driving this?

Zilla1 · 03/07/2021 14:14

DC might be lining up behind a potential new leader and even recommending a clear out of trouble in advance though might be best not to picture Gove/Cummings.

From a few years ago.

All about the gfs he had at Oxford Uni and how his nickname was donkey.

I hope there's no CCTV in tomorrows sunday papers.

Classica · 03/07/2021 14:21

I have a strong stomach but all this chat in the last 24 hrs about Gove's penis will test me. Envy
