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.

It’s 4, Mockers And cleverly he’s managed to get everyone, including all the countries media watching the TV so he can sneak off without being seen.

DGR 😂 very true I always forget how widely read MN is.

What is that sculpture thing in the rose garden? I've popped onto the live feed and looked at it regularly over the last half hour and am none the wiser. A large turd with a hole drilled through it?

Rude bugger, DomCum.

So no resignation.

"....There was nobody in London who could look after our child."

(So why not call and ask them to come down?)

Here's a prediction: he's not going to explain the inconsistencies between his various explanations and his wife's published account

He's also admitting that he is friendless in London wonder why

Wow, she must really dislike her London based family.

Could have ironed his shirt.

Is he blaming BJ for giving him CV now?

The noises off are interesting...

how widely read MN is.

It's why it is the target of bots (of varying quality).

Whereas the forum for RHD Trabant enthusiasts ... less so (although ironically they do speak Russian ...)

....The Media

It's the media's fault for showing pictures of his house.

He forgot to say about his Mum's birthday visit and his wife's birthday excursion

Sorry - should have said both he and his wife are friendless in London.

Is he hoping to bore everyone into not caring any longer?

...his home (in London) "Which could become a target..."

Of who? Al Qaeda?

It is inconsistent.

....and while he could work remotely from Durham, he apparently could not work remotely from his home in London and look after his wife ill wife there like everyone else had to do

He didn't tell Boris then??

Following on from one email=1,000 voters

I drove with a sick person where I had a reasonable idea it was Covid because people have tweeted stuff. That's the gist right?

Drove non-stop. Did not tell PM.

I think he might be @AuldAlliance

Arguably this was a mistake.

Is that all we're going to get?

He totally disregarded advice on how long to drive without a break...

Brought his infected family from the epicentre of the outbreak to the as yet untouched North-East, relying on local hospital.
