Needs to be bigger, for Boris to hide in.

Wow. I'm now starring to feel super intrigued of who's leaking these images, particularly the fridge being delivered - the angle suggests someone stood close!?!

All very interesting and ridiculously infuriating.

Well Benny Hill is back on the telly.

It gets worse. What in Gods name has been going on in No,10? I Did it stop at alcohol I wonder?
I am lost for words.
All this at the Taxpayers expense. It is an absolute disgrace

It’s the ‘suitcases of wine’ detail that gets me. You can imagine the memo going out - don’t forget your suitcase it’s Friday

This is so far from the standards other public sector workers are held to, civil servants are not permitted to have alcohol during work hours or on work premises. Their expenses are also closely monitored and expenditure on alcohol would not be approved.

Something has gone very wrong in No 10 for staff to behave in this way at any time let alone during a pandemic, Boris needs to resign but many more people need to leave in the aftermath of these revelations.

Wine-time Fridays’ were scheduled into the electronic calendars of around 50 No 10 staff between 4pm and 7pm every week.

Nice organised touch.

Not sure which Tesco they are talking about but they all have a dire wine choice around there. Should have popped up to Sainsburys in Trafalgar Square

All this alcohol explains the entire shit show that was the handling of the pandemic in 2020-21 by this government.

I think there's got to be more than one leak at this stage. Wouldn't be surprised if there were deals being struck behind closed doors - I can give you this if you keep my name out of any future stories.

Wow so many juicy, delightful details. How much shit does Cummings have?

I bought a mini fridge in 2020 , they are great.
Who's thought I'd ever have something in common with number 10.

They basically seem to have been drinking solidly at work for two years, with occasional breaks to send the odd email.

Those rumours about Johnson being an alcoholic make even more sense now. He seems to be one of those who likes to be surrounded by other drinkers to make himself feel better about it.

I think there's got to be more than one leak at this stage.

Totally agree. IMO members of staff at number 10 have seen how quickly and easily Johnson blamed his subordinates after the earlier (probably Cummings) leaks and have decided to get their stories in to the newspapers before they get fired.

A reporter on Sky News has just said Johnson is planning his come back campaign and named it “Operation Save Big Dog”.

He makes me want to vomit.

I've heard that Boris Johnson's big comeback is announced (sky news) it's called
' operation save big dog'
Even the presenter was laughing.
This is real ?

Must be boozy Friday again then coming up with this new slogan 🤔

Just lying in bed and laughing out loud at the comments…I mean what the fuck has been going on in Downing Street for the last couple of years !!
Am beginning to think that every decision made over pandemic was made by a bunch of pissed Hoorays !
Am waiting for the local coke dealers around Downing Street to start their claims .
Laughing aside it is absolutely shocking that these people are responsible for the horrific aftermath this virus has caused for so many people!
Boris and his mates really need to go…am surprised that hasn’t happened today!

Alcoholism can lead to early onset dementia and other brain damage issues, right?

I wondered too about drugs? I've been sent spoof u tube videos hinting heavily at drug use and haven't police dogs picked up the scent of drugs once or something at Westminster last year ?
Considering they are allowed to drink at work I wouldn't be shocked if one or two have smuggled in other things too ?
Who knows? .. 🤔

Tories are cunts that's a given but even I am surprised at how big set of cunts this shower of shit actually are. We were following these guidelines and shopping Mumsnetters for buying non-essential crisps and other assorted snacks from our shopping. What fools we were eh...

Dominic Cumming's retweeted this a few hours ago ... hmmmmm

Well at least we know the government can actually organise a piss up, shame about being competent to do anything else. Although the decisions being made in 2020 are starting to make sense now.
