Winner Takes It All' Abba party
MoS first reported on this party, last year
'A spokesman for Mrs Johnson said: 'It is totally untrue to suggest Mrs Johnson held a party in the Downing Street flat on November 13, 2020.'
The Met could now investigate the party as part of its
1/2/ probe, and call on Mrs Johnson to provide written evidence' ( SG gathered evidence on this too)
BUT
'It is understood that the PM's wife has not been interviewed by Ms Gray's inquiry or approached by the police' ( yet)
Mark Wallace of Con Home being interviewed on Sky about Cons prospects at Bexley Sidcup.
Playing down expectations now that that TOut is confirmed news.sky.com/watch-live
Starmer never visited the seat ( he's been on an oil rig today apparently) because Lab's expectations have been so low.

Strong idiot preferred by hairdresser
'She called Johnson an “idiot” – a view she said was shared by customers. “If we had a strong leader in opposition, I might be looking for a change in government – but better the devil you know” theguardian.com/politics/2021/…

Radio 4 PM just now. Phone interview with an ARAP qualified interpreter trapped in Kabul, couldn't get to airport gates. Has had to moving from house-to-house with his wife, hiding and living in tent. Trying FCOD helpline for 3 hrs - on hold. Only received a generic email 1/22/2 on the day after the suicide bomber explosion, from FCOD saying that they could not help ARAPs inside Afg. The interp explains that it's hard to find shelter as hosts are also afraid. He can't get to the border. His last hope is Germany's deal w Pakistan for safe passage

Where's Raab? 1/2
Recap
Mishal Hussein on R4Today now asking about this to Cleverly in reply to his comment (wtte 'we'll get the remaining pple out via neighbouring countries like Pakistan )

The initial cover story then had those kinks ironed out- was then adapted to sister & niece providing childcare. I checked the timeline
