I'm going to sound like such an apologist for the gov, but so many places I've worked in London give booze late Friday afternoons. Some of the tech companys have beer on tap and wine for people to help themselves to that's available from 5pm on Fridays - that continued throughout covid for those in the office.Boris Johnson's 'wine time Fridays' - No10 staff drinks every week in pandemic
EXCLUSIVE: Downing Street held yet MORE parties throughout the Covid pandemic with events taking place every Friday as Prime Minister Boris Johnson encouraged staff to "let off steam" even though indoor socialising was strictly bannedwww.mirror.co.uk
looks like it was a weekly piss up even when we were in full lockdown
I suppose it’s worst because it’s only come out now so looks shady and along with all the other Tory sleaze, it’s just more ammunition against him. He does need to go but so do most of the governmentI'm going to sound like such an apologist for the gov, but so many places I've worked in London give booze late Friday afternoons.

I guess it depends on if you see work colleagues already in work mixing with drinks as a party or not and if the gov should stay out of grey areas. Bit on the fence but I do think some of the stuff out there is disingenuous.
But the knives are out and they want him gone. I'm not sure if operation "red meat" to sack a load of people, announce the end of restrictions and that dowing Street goes dry will stop the backlash. He's really not wanting to be forced out. Could be another Novak style mess
exactly, they are all just snakes . itd be hilarious if they werent running tje countryThere must be a catalogue of sleaze on each politician, the powers that be open it once it's time to move on, the pic of Starmer drinking in the office proves it ,whoever took that planned to use once the occasion arose.
Yeah I guess so, I just find the owen Patterson far worse. That was absolutely outrageous trying to change the rules and to protect him over a short suspension and showed how flawed his judgement was.I suppose it’s worst because it’s only come out now so looks shady and along with all the other Tory sleaze, it’s just more ammunition against him.

Yeah, when I said government I should have said parliament - the other parties aren’t much better.Yeah I guess so, I just find the owen Patterson far worse. That was absolutely outrageous trying to change the rules and to protect him over a short suspension and showed how flawed his judgement was.
Ironically the gov I don't think are doing that badly at the moment with covid. While labour, Wales, Nicola and the SNP were demanding more money for stuff like furlough and to allow them to lock stuff down they didn't turn on the money taps again. I believe that was because of pressure from back benchers? I dread to think how many billions labour and the SNP would have wasted by overreacting to the new varient.
I expect MPs from ALL parties have been guilty of rule breaking during the pandemic.I'm going to sound like such an apologist for the gov, but so many places I've worked in London give booze late Friday afternoons.

Of course he didDominic Cummings has said that he warned Boris that the May 2020 party (where around 100 people attended) shouldn’t go ahead.
Yep, one thing going ok all while the cost of living and other crisis are building up, I won't give them too much creditI agree on how they’re handling covid at the moment and I am so happy we didn’t have further restrictions because of Omicron in England. I think it’s about the only thing they are doing right at the moment though
It's an answer to his situation and keep him in power and build up ever more of the generous pension.Re: The Conservative MP who jumped ship to Labour.
I would have had more respect for this MP had he of become an independent MP.
I fail to see how he thinks becoming a Labour MP is the answer to this situation.
As it has just been said. This MP was criticising Labour on Twitter a week, or so back.It's an answer to his situation and keep him in power and build up ever more of the generous pension.
Least meaningful thing ever someone from a red wall seat joining labour.
What did he say?I thought Boris had survived ok, but that David Davis comment, wow.
Just what we need, MPs with zero conviction and will just flip flop to whatever benefits him. A real gemAs it has just been said. This MP was criticising Labour on Twitter a week, or so back.
Now he decides to join them.
He also supported defecting MPs having to stand in an automatic by-election. I bet he no longer agrees with that either.
Talk about double standards.
Becoming an independent MP, I would have agreed. Deflecting to Labour makes him look an utter hypocrite - only doing so to improve his chances of staying on as an MP.
Damn, David Davis is a savage!I thought Boris had survived ok, but that David Davis comment, wow.
“You have sat there too long for all the good you have done. In the name of God, go.”What did he say?
No surprises that all his previous criticism of Labour has now been removed from his Twitter account.What did he say?
I'm suprised he's doing well in PMQ's after even Beth rigby managed to run rings around him yesterday
I don't think BJ is going until at least after the local elections and before he's done enough days to not be the shortest serving PM.
Just what we need, MPs with zero conviction and will just flip flop to whatever benefits him. A real gem
