All the person(s) that took the pics of the party in the garden in may 21 needed to do was make them public at the time instead of sitting on them till mid December for their own political reasons. If it came out while the country was still locked down BJ would've jumped or been pushed.
Also, the political stupidity of labour fixating on what has become an increasingly petty argument means they have largely missed the open goal of holding the govt to account on the economy. A golden chance to burst the balloon of the myth that the Tories are a safe pair of hands in this respect and shake the reputation of fiscal incompetence that has dogged labour since the 70's. I bet the govt can't believe their luck having the country in this state, but only being challenged about a year old cheese and wine party.
I think there's a flaw in there somewhere. Johnson wouldn't recognise the truth if it shat on his cornflakes.All Johnson had to do was tell the truth before Xmas and no investigation would have been needed

Poll says 59% of voters think he should resign - but only a third of Tory voters.
Holding a lying corrupt leader to account for his personal actions and holding his government to account for their political and economic illiteracy and incompetence are not mutually exclusive.All the person(s) that took the pics of the party in the garden in may 21 needed to do was make them public at the time instead of sitting on them till mid December for their own political reasons.

Obviously I'm mentioning the crapness of the opposition because I'm a rabid lifelong Tory that loves Boris. Leaving that aside for a moment, the govt have done what this govt/Boris have always done - drag the argument on and essentially sit it out until it fizzles out. The opposition (both within and outside the govt) rightly smelled blood when the partygate thing started, but it has dragged on for so long with the promised revelation that will bring down Boris constantly being 'next week' that it's become white noise in the background - much like the weekly dissection of Boris at pmq's. Standards in public office are now at such a low that the public are no longer shocked. The coming economic reality is about to make the middle classes poor - this is the thing that labour should be focussed on and ready with the answers to.I'm not sure why, in a time of horrendous cost of living increases, after years of policies that punish all but the very richest in society, with ineffective, run down public services, a huge decline in honesty and standards in public office, and all topped off by a law breaking government that led the country into the disaster of Brexit, your ire is split between the government (of 10 years) and the opposition.
Slightly odd that both of your last posts carefully mention both of them.
That's an odd apportion of blame.
Inquiry lol. All an inquiry does is delay a verdict and spread the blame thin and wide - see Grenfell/Hillsborough/chillcot.PMQs for the past several months has been mainly about the economy though.
Thats a really bad take on what the whole party gate thing is about though, it absolutely was and still is important to keep some level of focus on it as it’s showing the extent that we’re throwing away our parliamentary standards. It’s not done yet either, there’s still the inquiry to go.
The standards committee got rid of Owen Paterson to be fair.Inquiry lol. All an inquiry does is delay a verdict and spread the blame thin and wide - see Grenfell/Hillsborough/chillcot.
This is exactly what they wanted to happen.Tbh I'm a bit pissed off now that the govt (and opposition) have wasted six months slating each other for party's and takeaway curries instead of gripping 10% inflation, fuel poverty and the cost of living crisis in general. Bored now .
