I find Carrie fascinating. On the one hand I think she’s awful for sleeping with a married man who’s wife was being treated for cancer, but on the other I love how balsy, tough and formidable she is. I bet she’s had to put up with a hell of a lot of misogyny as well.

 

[Happy Lady]

I'm not keen on Princess Nut Nuts. I think she's a control freak and that could be scary.

I wish I had only thought of the username Princess Nut Nuts

Theres something delicious about watching the Tories implode

Well she gave Boris a black eye late last year, so you may be right.

 

[Meangirl815]

I honestly hadn't picked her as being so involved. I wasn't thinking she was some stay at home doing housework type but genuinely underestimated her i think

But yes watching this unfold beats ANYTHING Netflix can offer me

Ps Princess nut nuts is the best thing I've heard all year. Hands down winner

As I mentioned in another thread I think she is the mole, and is working the press using sources she probably used when she was the Communications Director for the Tory party.

She'll deny it of course, but she reminds me of Michelle Obama, the First Lady to President Obama a few years ago. It was quite well known she was the "backseat driver" towards some of his more liberal policies. And I suspect the Princess is no different here.

I was watching sky news yes and there was outrage at the misogynistic narrative towards Carrie, when she’s a woman with a pretty impressive career herself.

but the thing is, and I don’t care if this make me sound misogynistic she will now always been known as Bojo’s latest....in a long line of shags.
So whatever she’s up to now, she’s never gonna change that. If she hadn’t hooked up with him would she be known as “princess” anything I wonder, or would they have more respect for her.

almost makes me team Cummings

But wasn’t Boris supposedly livid that the leak had ‘bounced’ him into doing an emergency press conference before he had even had chance to address parliament about the lockdown? I don’t get why she would have leaked it in this circumstance, unless Boris was pretending to be livid.

I think the leaker was either Cummings or Cain. I hope we find out!

To be blunt, Boris is not only bleeping his "princess", but also his Cabinet, the 1922 Committee, Brexit, Covid, Tory voters and the country as a whole.

The quicker Boris is kicked out the better, but according to the New Statesman, the only way this can happen under a Tory administration is thus:-

The answer is that there is no set way to remove a prime minister, it varies depending on which party is in power.

For a Conservative Party leader, there has to be a “vote of (no) confidence” from the party. This involves all the party’s members of parliament voting on whether they “have confidence” in their leader.

A vote of confidence within the Conservative Party can only be triggered if a minimum of 15 per cent of the party’s MP’s write in letters demanding one. That means that 48 Tory MPs are currently needed to unseat Boris.

If, when the vote takes place, the majority of the party vote “no confidence” in the leader, they are forced to resign.

Lots of smoke and mirrors. She may not have been the mole directly, but it wouldn't surprise me if she had some influence

 

[Hinkypunk]

I agree. Or someone they’ve briefed to leak the news

 

[Oohthedrama]

I think the leaker was either Cummings or Cain. I hope we find out!

I think this makes the most sense. Especially if Cain’s promotion was leaked in an attempt to strong arm Boris into giving him the position!
Very clever! Until it backfired anyway!

 

[StrawberrySeed]

I really hope we find out what Cain and Cummings - C&C for future ref - have been up to behind the scenes. I think they have been up to all sorts of Skullduggery and Boris has become aware of it. I think he probably turned a blind eye in the past as long as they got the results he wanted. However, if they indeed did leak the lockdown info to the press, it put him very personally into a very big mess and made him look foolish in front of the nation. To also discover they were using cruel nicknames for his GF would have blown his top. They had made it personal and were disrespecting him as their boss. A step too far. That is my theory anyway.

Do others think C&C have been up to no good and, if so, we will hear all the gory details? I am dying to know more!

 

[Hinkypunk]

I am dying to know more!

Where’s a mole at No 10 when you need one! We want the gossip

 

[Platypusfattypus]

Maybe Boris did a Colleen Wagatha Christie and leaked a story to Dom and Cain to see if they were the moles. Actually maybe Carrie did that.


I don't think we've seen the last of tweedledee and tweedledum sadly
