GMBHD itv
had a long 20mins debate on this

Allegra Stratton is now working under Cop26
on 125K salary.
Will she lose her job?



Johnson Prime Minister
was not at the Downing St event
last year.

Good on them, I partied too.

What sort of person doesn't party and enjoy themselves at Christmas?

But some are angry
saying over 600 died of Covid-19
that day.

Sajid Javid MP Health Secretary
was meant to do the TV & Radio interviews
this morning.

But has now pulled out.

Shagger Matt Hancock MP
is now on GMBHD itv.


He was not at Downing St.
at that time last year.

This is just yet another farce.

Like the Cummings incident, like Raab not coming back from holiday during the Afghan crisis, like Hancock breaking social distancing rulea.

Nothing will happen though, no-one will be reprimanded.

Just a joke the whole thing

Thing is Alf, even if you don't believe in restrictions and don't care if people in general break them, surely it irka you a bit that the very people insisting others all have to do things are not even doing them themselves?

SkyNewsHD

Has Old Conservative Roger Gale MP
an Honest MP,
who is live at Westminster in his Parliament room.

He said the ITV clip
is all downing street staff
joking with Allegra.

Not really. I thought it was common knowledge that these people are hypocrites and liars? Why would I be surprised or angry at that?

To me, this is nothing, probably a smoke screen to fill up the news cycle to suppress the things they don't want you to know about.

We're in week 2 of the biggest child trafficking court case of our time and nothing much is being said.

I like that Angle
Alf.

[Cherie]

PMQs will be interesting

[Livia]

The most pressing question of the day, with everything that's in the news right now, is not was there a party a year ago?

You seem to have missed the small issue of looming USA/Russia nuclear apocalypse over Ukraine

Yes all due to whoever gave ITVnews
that clip that has Allegra
having a laugh.


She is Now on 125K as Cop26
media appointment.

[joeysteele]

The most pressing thng for all who lost people at this time last year.
Who weren't able to be at their sides as they died.
Nor at their funerals either.
Who had to cancel their own Christmas gatherings in accordance with the directive from the government.
IS exactly THIS issue.
That those who were making the rules were breaking them themselves.

Hardline Cons may think this doesn't matter to the bereaved families and friends and others who obeyed the rule.
That doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

They'd love it swept under the carpet.
Just as they overlook all the other political deceit from this PM, his cabinet and their government.

Not gonna happen.

Yes, they'll try and entice Russia in, but Putin won't bite, he's not daft, he knows what's going on. The same thing happened under Obama's reign.
