Boak. Who the hell would boink THAT?

sergeilavrov · 02/07/2021 19:08

Bloody Liz Truss. Is there anyone she hasn’t had an affair with at this point? Allegedly, of course. She’s had more ministers than Labour.

mum2jakie · 02/07/2021 19:08

Thanks all 😊

Wannabe politician with a Russell Group first who is putting in a couple of years hard work making useful contacts before they are found a safe seat.
Oh yes! Never has a job in the real world.

I have a strong suspicion that many of the people who accuse Diane Abbott of stupidity have fewer academic achievements to their name than Dianne.

But anyway ...

Just checked. Nope. She got a 2:2.

I suspect that most of the people who accuse Boris of stupidity have way fewer academic credentials than he does. Why should it be any different for Ms Abbott?

@ClawedButler

Two ghastly people have each discovered that the other is ghastly.
That sums it up perfectly.

No wonder SV was on anti-depressants …..

ReadySalt · 02/07/2021 19:14

This thread has certainly been an eye opener. So Michael Gove sleeps around and has a massive cock! Never would have thought it.

Skiptheheartsandflowers · 02/07/2021 19:14

People who've gone without sex all year due to lockdown must be fuming above Hancock and now Gove shagging around all this time. All in this together? If you put a different spin on that, then yes...

DentonsFringeArnottsWaistcoat · 02/07/2021 19:15

@RickiTarr

Unfortunate X post. Should have refreshed. 😂

I meant the separation explains the weird column.

No, I think ‘weird column’ was about right Grin

At least they did it with a bit more dignity than Hancock.
ancientgran · 02/07/2021 19:19

I haven't read the full thread yet, please tell me it was with a bit of dignity and there isn't a video. Please.

SecretSpAD · 02/07/2021 19:20

What's a SPAD

Special advisor. I was one, briefly. For a past govt luckily rather than this shower.

No ministers were shagged in my brief tenure.....however I did have sex (with my husband) in some interesting places in the HoC ShockWink

There were rumours then about where Mr Gove's interests lie, but nothing came to them.

Ha ha definitely true of some of them - the ones you might have heard about. But I, and lots like me, were offered the position because Of specific experience we had that was of use to the minister!

Oi oi oi, I'd just picked up a full mug of tea!

Twinhares · 02/07/2021 19:27

@Tlollj

Well I think it’s a shame. Never good news when a couple divorce especially if there are children involved.
Far better to divorce that live a lie of a life. And staying together for the sake of the children isn't really the best example to them.
ancientgran · 02/07/2021 19:27

@TDogsInHats

I read somewhere recently (perhaps The Sunday Times?) That Gove's nickname is Slinky. Because his honourablemember is that long it trails down the stairs in front of him.

Get that image out of my head right this minuteSad

Oh God, I wish I hadn't read that. I think my dinner is threatening to reappear.
princessandthedragon · 02/07/2021 19:28

I judge a party on their policies not their extra/ marital affairs. I imagine most mps have some skeletons in their closets. Any excuse for a bit of Tory bashing though I suppose 😂

@Franklin12

Diane Abbott is a blithering idiot who can barely string two words together so anything she says needs to be firmly ignored. She is a massive hypocrite who thinks the rules are for the plebs.
No she really is not.

From wiki

She attendedHarrow County School for Girls(agrammar school) and thenNewnham College, Cambridge, where she read history, achieving a lower second class degree (2:2).[4][5]At Cambridge, she was supervised bySir Simon Schama.[6]

I've no particular opinion on her, but this comment narked me so I looked.

I bet half or more women on here have more and better academic achievements, I certainly do.

MartyHart · 02/07/2021 19:32

I have heard that Gove is gay and it was a marriage of convenience.

thepeopleversuswork · 02/07/2021 19:35

Mrs Gove is, I believe, the inspiration for Polly Filla in Private Eye.

Don't be daft. Polly Filla was going before Sarah Vine was thought of...

JackieWeaverHandforthCouncil · 02/07/2021 19:35

There have been rumours about him and Liz Truss.

Downing Street appears to have turned into a knocking shop.

Last days of Rome.
