Everything seems to be aligning for Starmer. He can now simply piggy back on the deal as obviously you need to travel throught the EU to get to the UK.

Just found the article on it and she is saying the ones she sent him have also "vanished".  But she also isn't saying she got a new phone. lol 

She is playing the same card as Boris with a worse excuse 😛

She says she raised it constantly with spaffers chief of staff and he ignored her implies it was a known staff decision to delete them was probably done on spaffers instruction by a junior staff member in no 10.

You can also delete messages for both parties in WhatsApp which is what Johnson might have done.

That would show as "Message deleted" though, which she should have to prove in my opinion. And has much more serious connotations.

"Chats are stored separately on each person's device.

So if Person A and Person B are exchanging messages, then both of their phones will have a full, and separate, record of their conversation.

Messages can only be deleted for everybody up to 48 hours after they are sent - and a note appears for all participants saying this has happened.

But any messages older than that can only be deleted by someone on their own phone.

So if Person A deletes a message that is more than two days old, Person B will still have it.

It can only be deleted from Person B's phone by someone who physically picks up that phone and gets into their WhatsApp account.

There's also a feature called disappearing messages.

But that feature only launched in the UK in November 2020 and messages sent before this was switched on would not vanish."

Pretty obvious now the Tories have realised their only last-ditch cling to power is to smear the opposition. It's straight out of the Trump playbook - just make up any old sh*t and do it enough in the hope something will stick.

The bad news for them is the last 13 years.
