And now another thing that had been slowing going through its processes: Conservative party fined £17,000 over Downing St redecoration Electoral Commission fines party for ‘failing to accurately report a donation and keep a proper accounting record’...

Although we can be pretty sure many of them want to become PM, maybe fewer see the benefit in taking over in Johnson's wake? Much danger if they do so but fail to pull it all together.

I did very much mean that the tears were not in her interests - even if entirely real. And "It looked like..." is how the story would appear to many. I think she was foolish to take the original job. But that is heavily coloured by my long-term and intense dislike of Johnson.

Amazing they were delivered at all, and were tears (even false) rather than sewage. Mind, the contract probably runs for years with a cost escalator built-in.

Johnson is on his way out, I think. The tories have several problems in getting from where they are now to a Johnson-less future. Not least whether it is better to move before the by-election in North Shropshire, or not. Will they get more votes in credit for moving on? Or lose more from those...

Allegros were well-known for breaking down. Allegra has considerable sympathy from others: The former journalist Allegra Stratton has stepped down as a government spokesperson over the footage of her joking about a party at Downing Street. Senior journalists and former colleagues said she was...

And if you now find you need a Covid pass, best of luck getting one:

Followed by the DM including ex Mrs Gove sticking her oar in:

When even the DT is taking about resignation... (Yes, I know it was written conditionally.) Perhaps he should be planning his retirement do along with his mates.

Would you drink there?

And didn't Hoyle demand Johnson announce to the HoC first? I'm not aware that has been done. Could he be in contempt of HoC?

He won't. Savanta ComRes @SavantaComRes SNAP POLL Over half say Johnson should resign (54%). A third of Conservative voters also say this (33%). Almost three in five say party attendees should resign (58%). One in five say they should not (22%).

I wholly disagree with you there. I have for years said that he should never be PM, indeed, never a mayor nor an MP. Quite what has panned out is awful, appalling, and I would not have predicted many of the twists and turns. But on a plain, do you have any trust in this person basis, my answer...

A whole case of Surströmming.

So, goodbye then, Allegra.

Now we are starting to see the "alleged" party investigation. Isn't having full confidence in Allegra Stratton prejudging the investigation?

Oooh, errr, missus?

"I've been repeatedly assured..." Utter incompetence. On top of everything else.

I've still got a very old version of this: https://www.coleman.eu/uk/p-22746-unleaded-sportster.aspx Damned nuisance, originally, as it said not to use leaded petrol, but we did not then have unleaded. Hence, had to buy outrageously expensive fuel. It was extremely easy to light, powerful...

A really good day to choose to sign off Plan B rules. I wonder what they will say about parties?
