Interesting article about conservative party direction with or without Johnson, small state vs big state etc

It's thoroughly depressing isn't it?

The only hope I can take from this is that the majority of the British public can see through this blatant cover up / smokescreen.

I don't really understand why - but people in this country fucking love the tories.

even corbyn made the moves he did knowing it would enable spaffer.

Johnson has the report now apparently. Suspect he read it in 2 mins and, if he didn't already, believes he is 100% bullet proof.

He'll have somebody read it for him and give him the gist.

So...it's an update, not final release...so more to come....maybe final release will coincide nicely with local elections and it will be bye bye boris.

Johnson statement at 3:30pm...I'm really really sorry, won't happen again, I'll sack some people.

[Ayrshire Chris]

MPs and journalists hitting f5 on the government website waiting for the update on report to drop.  They really should have contacted any of us how to do that properly.  I fear he’s going to wriggle out of this but sack a few as sacrificial offerings. 

[Homer]

Surely the big announcement will just be him replacing the words 'Sue Grey' with 'Metropolitan police' while explaining why he can't/won't comment.

PM addressing the Commons at 3.30pm. Presume we're all on board for the inevitable infuriating episode?

[Ozanne]

The report will have any incriminating parts for Johnson eradicated. Johnson will claim this means he did nothing wrong, he offer a fake apology and expect us to all move on.

This was the plan all along, the cover up will be complete.

Plus the Brexit charm offensive today and sorting out Russia all on his own.

Yes the spin is the full effect today. I for one am so happy that once again Johnson gets away with it. 

[Ozanne]

Cover up to the highest order.

Hope so … really need Rebecca Pow to do one here 😞

Former Advisor to Johnson in No 10.

 

[MrHew]

My assumption is that the Chief of Staff will be the one who really gets it in the neck as they're pretty much in charge of the day to day goings on in No 10. That will still reflect badly on Boris of course, but gives him the (potentially legitimate) wriggle room to deflect a lot of it.

There needs to be actual photographic evidence of Johnson at a party or messages from him where he comments on a party to leak out.
