Today #partygate Johnson faces a cross party privileges committee of MPs. Let’s recall what #Colchester MP Will Quince, the Health Minister, had to say during this national scandal. Here he is the notorious #BorisJohnson apologist supporting Johnson in April 2022. 1/4
Here is #Colchester Quince, the notorious Johnson apologist, backing Johnson on 6 June 2022. 2/4
Here is #Colchester Quince the notorious Johnson apologist on TV on 4 July 2022 backing Johnson to the hilt over ‘Pincher by name Pincher by nature . 3/4
#NeverForgiveNeverForget they got pissed while our loved ones died alone and scared,
this is my brother, he died alone and scared, while that disgusting fucking animal got pissed

It's an outrage that he's using" but I didn't know "he's not a fucking child, he wrote a letter to a little girl saying well done for not having a birthday party, this defies belief, this committee is going to be an opportunity for this fucking clown today he will relish being in
The limelight, honour, honesty integrity are nowhere to be seen in this fucking clown,
It's 💔 to remember this

1/ Could be a significant few weeks ahead
- DUP and likely ERG will vote against Windsor Framework
- a relaunch of ReformUK asking Tories to join them
- Partygate the gift that keeps on giving
- Polls that show Tories flailing whatever they announce

- Johnson guilty verdict likely
- Local elections May 4th
- Increasing splits in the Tories
Take all of that together - especially Reform aiming to wipe the Tories out and you have a situation where some who think it likely to lose their seats could defect

If they think all is lost, that Brexit is not as they wished, Budget has not worked in their favour, Johnson is facing suspension and there is wipeout on ay 4th it is feasible a number will choose to jump ship.

@BorisJohnson is a serial liar, sacked for lying from several jobs including as Prime Minister, £220,000 we have paid to defend the indefensible, he was fined for one party when he attended lots.
If he gets away with this then we have to accept MP'S

Guess who was invited in to HoC to speak at the Committee on standards on December 8th 2020(a year to the date of Allegra Stratton video) to discuss MPs code of conduct&the Ministerial code: whether and how the system should change?

Did #SueGray gather the evidence and report the facts of gatherings in Downing Street or did she set the narrative and set the wheels in motion to oust a democratically elected PM? 🧵👇
Was she motivated by her politics or did she simply report the facts?

There were parties - no one is denying that but was her first report prejudicial and was it even necessary?
Imo there are two main aspects of her first report that I find troubling
(FTR the second report I have no issue with- the damage was already done imo by the first)

The Nasty Party are showing their true colours when they talk about @SueGrayCO, gone is the gratitude and praise for her report on #PartyGate it's now replaced with "which hunt" "plot", Labour dragged in as usual, who could blame

@SueGrayCO Wanting to work for a party who has integrity, honesty and honour, a party that tells the truth.
Its outrageous the language being used by the"Nasty Party but not unexpected.
Most if not all the MPS in the nasty party knew about the parties in fact lots of them were

There, #EnoughIsEnough of their lies, @BorisJohnson is entirely to blame, the nasty party should point the finger where it belongs.
@SueGrayCO did an adept job, my only criticism would be why wasn't the Abba party investigated?.

Hard agree with @RobDotHutton here that “Gray’s report is the work of someone who was determined to leave stones unturned and questions unasked. Her conclusions were the bare minimum that could be reached.”
thecritic.co.uk/the-plot-again…
thecritic.co.uk/the-plot-again…
For instance she deliberately chose not to investigate the ABBA party in the PM’s own flat with Government aides, even though the music was loud enough to be heard out in the street. Johnson went up to it after another party downstairs in No 10.
“That (the conclusions) were still fairly damning was simply the result of the underlying facts being appalling: that, whilst refusing to let people visit dying relatives or attend funerals, government officials routinely spent the evening getting off their faces together. “
So I’ve started reading the report from the privileges committee.
It’s a severe case of moving the goal posts from lying about parties to being reckless about social distancing
I’m going to create a thread as I go through it so it will take time 🧵 1/?

1. To intend to mislead is to lie
To inadvertently mislead is to report what you think is true but later find out that it wasn’t
That’s what the ministerial code distinguishes between
What’s this addition of reckless? How are they defining that in action?

Examples of Adam Wagner- who you may recall was constantly on @gmb @skynews etc pushing the narrative that it was all about the PM based off #SueGray interim report in January 2022
Also evidence from the Good Law Project themselves that they threatened the @metpoliceuk with being sued if they didn’t investigate #partygate
All in build up to initial #SueGray report.

What never sat right with me in #SueGray ‘s report was that the evidence contained in the final report showed that Boris was barely at these events AND YET

He was being held as the focus (indirectly) within the narrative whilst the behaviour of senior civil servants appeared to be less significant and imo they were let off the hook
Why?
In fact in @PaulBrandITV podcast one of the female whistleblowers agrees with me on this

EXCL: Sue Gray has been appointed chief of staff to Labour leader Keir Starmer.
As a senior civil servant, the job offer will be subject to ACOBA process before formal confirmation.
Major coup for the Labour leader and part of an effort to prove the party is preparing for govt.

Conservative MPs seem largely furious:
@NadineDorries - "The Gray report was a stitch up"
@cmackinlay - "Does this smell right?"
@JamesDuddridge - "that explains a lot. We can now see which Party was investigated #partygate."

.@RishiSunak could decide to block the appointment. The signs so far aren't positive for Ms Gray:
“This doesn’t smell right at all. Serious questions need to be asked about how this has come about.” - senior government source

I'm fucking outraged that it's even been suggested that Johnson may be planning a comeback, Tories think that's going to upset the woke left, they may be surprised to learn it's going to upset so many more people in this country,

The only thing Johnson

was concerned about lockdown getting a peerage for Levedev why?.
It's an outrage that his name is even in people's mouths.
So many in this country lost loved ones while he ate fucking cake getting pissed out of his tiny brain, a man who couldn't even be bothered attend cobra

@RishiSunak why are you increasing the amount of money it's costing us to defend @BorisJohnson?, we all know he broke not only the moral law but the judicial law with #Partygate, no money for Nurses who put their lives at risk during the covid pandemic but you support that
Criminal, accountability, integrity and professionalism that's what you promised us, please explain what accountability, professionalism and integrity there is in giving away our money to someone who has no regard for the law.
You are a disgrace I am appalled that you allow
You are a disgrace I am appalled that you allow
Not only allow this man to laugh in our faces but help him do it, shame on you!.
The contortions here should scare you. No rational and reasonable government should excuse the possibility that people don't have the means to vote in elections
In 'normal' times we might have the talking heads on a right wing talk show batting about these ideas. While a government minister comes out to say definitively that all is being done to ensure ever person knows about the changes and has the means to vote
In 'normal' times we would have a government who did not work to weaken the electoral commission and also change local elections for Mayors, PCCs and maybe new governors from a form of PR to First Past the Post

Does it feel to you like this political class (& media) have completely abandoned the next generation of Brits? Thrown under the bus? And everywhere you look there’s this palpable sense of decay. What do the young have to look forward to?

Housing ladder? Forget it. Let’s just talk about access to decent housing at an affordable price of say 20% monthly salary. Is the political architecture addressing this in any way?

Job security? Please. The way we’re going, over 50% of the next generation will be on ‘zero hours’ type employment contracts within 20 yrs - with no access to paid leave, sick pay etc. What will this extreme form of precariousness do to the fabric of society?
