Re: Tory Watch
That is a real humdinger of an opening line to a resignation letter. Clearly written by someone hanging out their arse and barely able to string a sentence together.

Re: Tory Watch
Can it get much worse for the Tories? And Boris wants another term? You are so right about that opening sentence, it's not parliamentary in tone.

Re: Tory Watch
This morning: No. 10 briefing and cabinet ministers on the morning shows: "The PM was unaware of any specific allegations against Chris Pincher"
This afternoon: Boris Johnson was aware of "reports and speculation" about the alleged sexual misconduct of the former deputy chief whip, Chris Pincher, before his appointment in February, No 10 says.

Re: Tory Watch
We know how this goes, by the end of the week it'll emerge that he knew everything and overruled others to appoint him.The spokesman added that Mr Pincher "had lots of skills and experience for the role", but when asked whether Mr Johnson used the phrase "Pincher by name, pincher by nature", said he would not comment on private conversations.

Re: Tory Watch
It's just a muscle memory reaction to deny/lie immediately without thinking and then slowly admit you lied.
Classic pathological liar tendency that I expect from Boris but expected his press team to be a bit more savvy.

Re: Tory Watch
But for them to back down, there must be something in writing or on video. Or they must think there might be.

Re: Tory Watch
Footage from the cabinet meeting this morning with facial expressions that seem to barely conceal their displeasure with Johnson and the current situation.

Re: Tory Watch
How damning is that? Succinctly and dispassionately ripping Boris and his henchmen a new one for being the pathological liars they are.

Re: Tory Watch
I'm hoping the conclusion to all this is more people coming forward to back up the existing allegations about Johnson's propensity to go for an under the table grope. Surely that really would be the end.

Re: Tory Watch
Here is some of the footage. Just look at those facial expressions. You could cut through that atmosphere with a butter knife.
