Boris wants the navy to have a laser gun that makes a pew pew pew sound.

Who doesn't? ;-)

Hancock looked his usual a rabbit in the headlights when Burley asked him about Patel.

He’s a scared weasel.

He does seem to get some of the bad days to do the rounds of the media in the morning.

Patel and NHS pay freeze exemptions - neither of which would/could he answer.
His waffle about Patel always being polite to him ignores the fact that bullying at work is normally in the department not unrelated departments.

He did but if he’s not seen her bullying anyone then it’s hard to confirm. I was more fucked off with
A) his refusal to say that if she or anyone had been bullying them they should be sacked as there’s no place for it
And
B) his utter failure to say that the pay freeze on the public sector is a disgrace if MP’s are about to get a rise.
No fair enough he may, and I say may loosely, not know if MP’s are getting a rise or not, but if they do whilst no one else does then that’s a fucking joke.

They're a bit wank aren't they.
The fact that they are in power at all is a pretty sad indictment of where the UK is politically right now.
I mean, if this shower is the best we can elect then something somewhere has gone seriously wrong.

Alex Allan (PM's adviser on the ministerial code) has resigned - guess he's not happy about the Patel whitewash.

Isn't he the writer of the report?

Self serving bastards.

I hope the civil servant doesn't take a cash offer and airs all his evidence in court against her.

You have to wonder what he's after and what his motivation is. I'm assuming he's content with the report itself as he authored it. It then must be that BJ's action is not what he wants. Most organisations have procedures to deal with bullying and harassment (worth noting only one of those is actually illegal), and If it's not clear that Patel has committed some gross misconduct worthy of dismissal then I'd say it's down to her management (the PM) to decide what if any sanction or reprimand is appropriate. Unlike everyone else it seems I haven't seen the report so it's difficult to see what is / isn't right in this respect.
