My reaction to Boris Johnson and his government’s handling of the Chris Pincher sexual assault scandal: Cat looking really shocked
It’s easy to get desensitised to scandal with this government, but it’s important to recognise the specific wrong-doing with each new bout of impropriety and corruption
The current crisis has three parts:
1. A government whip (Chris Pincher) has a track record of inappropriate sexualised behaviour
2. When he resigned for the latest instances, Boris Johnson wanted him to stay as a Tory MP
3. Johnson lied that he was unaware of the allegations

“That the Subjects which are Protestants may have Arms for their Defence suitable to their Conditions and as allowed by Law”
This sentence is from the Bill of Rights.
Not the US Bill of Rights (1789), the English Bill of Rights (1689). The Bill of Rights is still part of the statute in the UK; the Supreme Court cited it in recent decisions concerning Brexit and the prorogation of parliament.
Lots of British people have no idea it exists even though it remains a central plank of our uncodified constitution.

I’d like to tell you a story. It’s about a farm. An old fashioned farm that sold expensive milk, cheese and eggs. The people who owned the farm didn’t like change.
But the world around them was changing and people that used to buy from the farm we’re getting tastier milk, cheese and eggs from other farms.
The people who worked on the farm got worried. They didn’t want to change but knew they had to do something…

The government insists this picture shows a “work meeting”
- No pens or paper, so no notes or minutes
- No displays, computers or flipcharts
- Table of drinks
- Wine quaffing
- A cheeseboard
Do you believe them?
Dominic Raab: “They might have a drink after the formal business is ended. That is not anything to do with the social mixing rules.”

So this is the informal part of a formal work meeting? Where did the formal part take place? Were all these people in attendance?
That’s what Raab told @KayBurley on Sky News. Different response to BBC Breakfast though. He told them that this event was AFTER meetings. So not a work meeting, but people meeting after work?
