Westminstenders: Magical Thinking

[RedToothBrush]

This week has seen reports of the government editing footage of Johnson to avoid embarrassing questions about the early government response.

We've been asked to accept that the rules were different to what we were told to excuse the law breaking behaviour of a senior government advisor. As Johnson said he was being a responsible father (as if Johnson knows what this is) and it wasn't as if he was visiting a lover (this Johnson would know all about). Let's be honest Johnson is the master of brazening out controversy.

We also have the ERG complaining they were lied to by Gove about the new Withdrawal Agreement and the border in the Irish Sea which surprises precisely no one else.

They appear to be a little upset by the Cummings debarkable too.

Great question from Beth Rigby there, better than Peston and Kunnesberg today

The "Exceptional Circumstances with small children" comes from lobbying on behalf of abuse victims who have to leave a home where they are being "Targetted."

& still no fucking apology he is such a cunt, apologies for my language I never usually use that word, I’m so angry I really could cry.

Statement, erm OK, very carefully worded, definite attitude of stick exactly to this script and it'll be OK, although there were loopholes they clearly hadn't spotted like seeing his wife and going back to work, and driving to test his eyesight (WTAF?!?)

Falling apart horribly now with the questions and will not apologise. It's still not over, he may still end up going.

Fuck, he really is never going to apologise even when asked to directly.

If this is Cummings idea of stopping the story, I suddenly understand why the Brexit preparations are so bad.

Frankie I doubt he'd get more than 400miles from a full tank...

It's extremely regrettable.
(Maybe he thinks he can fool the plebs into thinking that is an apology...)

Yes I thought that as well Mockers it was aimed at abuse victims

Blaming the media for "targetting" you is a great way to gain their sympathy when asking you questions.

Fucking Lying Liar.

Where is Beth from, the lady currently asking questions?

The word is sorry
simples

If this is Cummings idea of stopping the story, I suddenly understand why the Brexit preparations are so bad.

The UK is hardly covering itself with glory right now. And the World Is Watching.

She's Sky's Political Editor.

Sky FATE

Beth Rigby Sky news

Beth Rigby is from Sky news @FATEdestiny

She's good - I don't watch much Sky News

Didn't think it was important to tell the PM where he was.

Never crossed either of their minds.

There are people who went on test drives to keep their battery ticking over who were warned by the police.

He went on a test drive to see if he could see...

He really does take us all for mugs.

Now its getting fun. ......
the Public Health message was known to be a lie

This pantomime is to obscure the point in time Boris was aware of this.

Since Brexit/the Referendum we've increasingly taken to watching Sky News which is now streets ahead of BBC

We watch BBC News once a day just to see what their take is - and so we can see what news they are glossing over.

Beth Rigby is nailing it.
Why are you different? Why wont you say sorry?
He just fucking WON'T, will he?
'how can you even countenance staying on and not resigning'?
:He is letting BJ off the hook, but blaming the media for having to leave his London home. 'Neither of us can remember what was said'.

Stop blaming the media. I'm a voter. I can judge for myself.
You need to resign!!! Aaargh - this is infuriating!
The press seem disgusted, as well they might.

He's floundering badly. This will make it worse if anything
