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.

I wish the journo's would start a slow hand clap, a la Dangerous Liaisons.

Firmly putting the ball in BJ court now to sack him, he won't resign.

Some hope Dom!

On another note, the DfE dropped the secondary schools guidance during this....

prettybird or demolishing all those crumbling old hospitals and selling the land to building some death trap timber framed luxury apartments on the site.

Just spied the dirt cheap folding table Dom is sat at too, it’s Austerity Dom! 😊

Hard not to feel sorry for the 300+ Tory MPs who are going to have to sell this shit every day to their constituents.

Piggy but still no figures for today...

So BJ thought this would clear the air and he could talk about trams next?

He's dim as mud. But is he that dim?

mockers !

So he was worried about whether “it would look good” to be honest about his location whilst he was in Durham, contrary to his comments yesterday.

He's tried to help the country... like he did for the DfE and all those kids absolutely screwed over by the changes to no coursework and multiple hours of exams per subject. Thanks Dom. Can't wait to see the outcomes of your other helpful actions. Like no deal?

Yy pretty I just thought the same thing about code for privatisation.

pussycat, I saw some very low hospital death figures.

But also a hospital in Weston Super Mare which had to close its admissions.

He broke at least two laws.

He went back to Downing Street on the first afternoon, when he should have been isolating due to a family member showing symptoms.

He traveled to exercise on the 12th of April.

Even if he gets away with the mythical special childcare circumstances on going to Durham, the other two are definite and he should be arrested and charged as so many other people have been.

Mary Wakefield's article:

I had thought that actually getting the coronavirus would bring clarity — that there would be some satisfaction in meeting the enemy, feeling its spectral hands around my lungs.

My version of the virus began with a nasty headache and a grubby feeling of unease, after which I threw up on the bathroom floor. ‘That’s disgusting, Mum,’ said my four-year-old son, handing me a towel with a look of patronizing distaste.

I felt breathless, sometimes achy, but Dom couldn’t get out of bed. Day in, day out for 10 days he lay doggo with a high fever and spasms that made the muscles lump and twitch in his legs. He could breathe, but only in a limited, shallow way.

She sounds very sure that she had Covid-19.

You can't see the article on the UK Spectator site, for some strange reason.

She silenced him with the request of a message to voters ......

It wasn’t the smallest risk to the smallest number of people. What if he had taken ill at the wheel.

Were any journalists outside his house causing problems prior to his jaunt to Durham as he keeps mentioning his house as a reason why he went off to Durham.

This has been on for an hour now.

How do you think the front page of the Daily Mail is going to go tonight?

"My husband did rush home to look after me. ....But 24 hours later, he said ‘I feel weird’ and collapsed...."

Tiny detail missed between those two events.

and

"After the uncertainty of the bug itself, we emerged from quarantine into the almost comical uncertainty of London lockdown...."

Your move, Speccie

Now he is not sure if he drove East or South for his eyesight Test Drive?

"This is an hour long advert for Scottish Independence" @2Amoose to Joanna Cherry on Twitter

"I took a drive with my wife and child in the car in order to check my eyesight" is on a par with Prince Andrew's "I went and stayed in Epstein's house but he wasn't a friend"

"I did not go to stay with my father. I stayed in another property on his estate."

I bet the elite are going to moan about that answer.
