I usually hate reading the comments on twitter but "The Andrew formerly known as Prince" comment did make me chuckle.

Yeah...he was really very shit. Gave us austerity which totally failed, and then the brexit referendum in which he led the campaign to remain and failed.

Shit at everything, at least he was consistent

Yeah I think you're right... reading about it I think it was the honorary military roles that alot of people had issues with but it makes sense to lose the HRH as well. Still like the initial pun though.

Prince Andrew has advised Boris to say he was elsewhere at the time having a pizza.

In return Boris has advised Prince Andrew to say he didn't realise it was sex

The idea that police didn't know about these parties is a total joke.

The country hates nothing more than essentially mocking the Monarch.

That type of thing started to happen with May not long before she stood down. It really is the beginning of the end for Johnson.

The Telegraph jumping on the bandwagon and invoking the Queen feels pretty significant. Really hoping this doesn't lose momentum.

It looks like more is coming out and they’ll be more to come so it looks like this won’t go away.

I almost feel sorry for him.

I feel like if Boris is able to ride this out it is effectively the death of true democracy in this country. This moment is everything. If he survives, welcome to fascism.

I want more voting intention polls.

According to the BBC the two parties joined together and the party continued to late in the night in the Downing Street gardens. No wonder Boris always looks so disheveled, he can’t get a decent nights sleep because of all the staff working late outside his house.

Pretty much as I predicted, Sue Gray is a stooge and this inquiry will be worthless.

‘She is expected to avoid making a conclusion over whether the Prime Minister breach the ministerial code…’ What a load of rubbish.

It doesn't matter what the report says: damage has been done with the public.

Yes the terms of the enquiry don’t include looking for breaches of the ministerial code, that would have to be added by the prime minister. Anyway how is she meant to conclude that it was all the fault of civil servants if she is allowed to investigate the actions of ministers.
