Blackmail is an inherent part of our political system, the entire basis of our party Whip system in the House of Commons. Without blackmail the Whip system would cease to function. .

I've already answered that. LINK He can do that as his newspaper editorships have shown. .

And once again walk away and escape responsibility, as he's been doing all his life, bouncing back later in another position of responsibility causing chaos. Secretary of the Oxford Union, Successive newspaper editorships, Member of Parliament, London Mayor twice, MP for a second time, Brexit...

Yes they can be, and in the case of 10 Downing Street, the garden is part of the office. Don't you remember that presentation for the media of Nick Clegg and David Cameron embarrassingly pretending to be friends in their new coalition, in the garden of number 10, their office: They look as...

But I've already explained long ago that an office includes all manner of people who are legitimately there in the course of their work, such as service engineers, postal workers, cleaners, messengers etc. In the case of a government office a journalist like that editor I'd certainly expect...

Show me where in the two Covid regulations that Office Parties are forbidden in law. They are not, all workplaces are specifically excluded from that gatherings law. .

Done, identification and highlighting completed. .

Historic, too late. .

:D. They're politicians ! The description fits most of our Prime Ministers since WW2, with perhaps two honourable exceptions. .

Nope. Being their place of work it was specifically excluded from the Covid regulations when they arrived for work. Indiscipline during their time there is a matter for their employer, who could of course refer them to the police if any law was broken. A bit pointless though when the police...

Indeed, the Russians exhausted the possibilities of laser weapons very long ago, but the stubborn American still think they can get around the physics. Remember Reagan's Star Wars lunacy long ago? .

He doesn't have to, he has always been a delegator and the jobs that need doing should be done by his cabinet ministers and their juniors. The pressure should be on him to kick their backsides until they do their job. I'm sure he'd welcome being able to enthusiastically divert the presssure...

The cost of democracy, the majority of the people get the leader they wanted and richly deserve. .

It's not an issue at all and never was. Getting rid of Johnson will just ensure his little better replacement will continue with Tory policies to the detriment of the people. Forget parties and other such petty issues. Johnson was democratically elected to the job he wanted, so instead of...

They were never going to stay Tory anyway. .

Meanwhile over 6 million people are on hospital waiting lists for years and people who can't afford food queue for over an hour in the winter cold at a food bank, afterwards returning to homes they cannot afford to heat. This when our £3.9 billion aircraft carrier is laughably trying to make...

How do you prove they went there for a social gathering when it was their workplace, which is specifically excluded from the regulations anyway? As I've posted from the outset this whole fuss is ridiculous, Someone has got away with something they haven't, and surprise, surprise, it's someone...

6) Parties are not banned in the Covid regulations, they have no mention of the word party. Gatherings were banned for various purposes, which could include parties, but the ban on gatherings specifically excludes workplaces. It is a workplace and all present including me were either...

That's American engineeering, I've seen even Cadillacs with half inch panel gaps. The space shuttle disasters didn't surprise for one moment, their engineering standards are often atrocious. I remember long, long ago a large carbon arc plate maker imported from there, looking for all the world...

It will probably end up with my prediction some while ago of a hung parliament yet again. Labour needs almost double that to to have the control of the House that Johnson has enjoyed. .
