Strange approach to investigating alleged wrongdoing under the dreadful Dick.
Endorsement from Keith not enough to keep the wolf from the door.

So now we know what Johnson was getting in return for trying to find Carrie a job - and why he is really known as BJ!

This is a super informative twitter thread about the success of our superbly effective government in beating the world to rolling out Covid vaccines.....

Read Jim Grace's inputs.

Given the extraordinary success of Johnson in getting the big things right on COVID and vaccine roll-out, it’s surprising that the inquiry into the Government’s handling of the issues is being delayed so long.

So much the world could learn from such leadership''

Gov MP complains about ................. the government

''Tom Tugendhat, a Conservative MP, and chair of the foreign affairs committee, said the UK’s consistent failure to tackle international corruption had led the UK to become “a safe haven for dirty money” which he said was “a stain on our reputation”''

He's an MP.

You really ought to know the difference between the Legislature and the Executive.

Had to do a bit of a dig there Glyn and it seems I've never had a proper understanding of it and I can't find anything that tells me which he is?

Syd.
The Legislature is Parliament. Their job is to scrutinise, suggest revisions to and pass or block laws. Generally to hold Government to account.

The Exucutive is a small subset of Parliament, essentially comprising those MPs and Lords who have been given jobs as ministers. Their role is to propose policy, bring it to the Legislative for assessment and voting, and then to oversee the implementation of it.


Where folk get confused is that almost always, the party that controls the Legislature also controls the Executive. So the Legislature rarely does anything that goes against the will of the Executive. Usually, if the Executive proposes a new law, it gets passed, unless it is so far out of the acceptable for MPs. Usually with all the MPs from the majority party voting for it, and most Opposition MPs voting against it. So that tends to give the impression that member of the ruling party of the Legislature are effectively part of the Executive.

Only MPs who hold a ministerial post are part of the government.

Tugendhat isn't a minister and never has been. So he has never been part of any government.

lest we forget the quote below from BST  about TOM who has a friend who has "been wronged" for every event


That's the same Tom Tugendhat who was screaming 2 months back that we should expel all (ALL) Russians from the UK? So he would boot out my friend (HERE WE GO AGAIN A FRIEND FOR EVERY ARGUMENT) and ex-colleague who has lived here for 25 years, worked and paid taxes, lectured me about the danger of Putin married a Ukrainian woman and brought up two kids.

And you want that Kitson to be PM?

by combining "your definition of him" and "my definition of you" we have "common ground"

could say "one kitson talking to another kitson"   :suicide:

So johnson after saying he's drawn a line under this has been forced to do the right thing and withdrawn the whip from Pincher. Why on earth didn't he just get it done in 'real' time.

The Greasy Piglet knew  about thje groping tendencies before he ever appointed him as Depiuty Chief Whip. The Piglet was specifically made aware and warned. It's all over the net. I took these from https://leftfootforward.org/2022/07/boris-johnson-knew-about-sexual-misconduct-allegations-against-chris-pincher-but-made-him-deputy-chief-whip-anyway/ but you can find the same in right wing pages too.

“Three sources, including one Tory MP who personally raised the issue, told Playbook that the PM was made aware of complaints about Pincher’s conduct but appointed him deputy chief whip in February anyway. No. 10 did not deny the story last night.”

"It was also previously reported by Politico that a member of the government had a “minder” to ensure he left events without drinking too much and getting into trouble — and it’s now been revealed that the MP concerned was Pincher."

So along with all its other failings and lies, the Tory Party cannot keep a known pisshead out of trouble in their own almost private club either!

Chirst Almighty.....

That's the thing though innit Bob, just look at who the tories thought would be a good leader, ever seen anyone with a longer rap-sheet? is there any country, religion, race, region, minority group that he hasn't offended or balmy idea that he hasn't pursued?

Johnson's problem is that because fewer and fewer of his MPs are willing to work for him, the pool of MPs from which he can appoint to jobs gets smaller and smaller. So it's not surprising that MPs like Pincher end up in an official position.

I never realised unti now that my wife is also my minder. I hope she doesn't ask for an increase in the housekeeping as a result of her additional role.

One or two might resign tyke but the lure will draw them back in sooner or later.
Perhaps just a token gesture.

Bad news in the Mail for Johnson.

As CLH points out todays Heil on Sunday is pretty damning on Johnson. This apprently is down to a meeting this week between the owner, Lord Rothermere and editor, Paul Dacre, where Rotheremere acused Dacre of following a political line that was increasing out of touch with their readership - because he wants a peerage from Johnson.

Rotheremere has demanded the Heil becomes more critical of Johnson. Tory leaders dont last long when the Heil turns against them:
