In the news

Suspended ban pending appeal.

True, although surely that'll get kicked out too.

'Waste disposal business' = flytipper. (Probably).

It would be a shame if that photo was used to prove he was holding a phone whilst driving and that resulted in more points. (Not the sopranos one…)

But Crawford, who has previously had a Mercedes AMG and an Audi

Speaks volumes

Isn’t doing over 100mph a ban on its own (and possibly jail)? The article mentions a ban under totting up.

Is that Stanley ?

Kenneth Branagh.

The teaser starts with a positive voiceover by Sir Kenneth as the PM
saying: "2020 will be a year of prosperity."

But a montage of clips showing the inside of Number 10 then follows as
the COVID pandemic appears to escalate.

A voice then adds: "500,000 deaths - that is a worst-case scenario."

An eerie soundtrack plays as the rhetoric to "wash your hands" and
"stay at home" plays out alongside images of Mr Johnson hosting press
conferences at Downing Street.

I'd like to see Roisin Conaty play his wife: Facially similar and would bring some much needed levity to the pandemic.

Madison Cawthorn, one of the worst of the worst MAGA mob in the U.S. congress, rejected by the Republicans in his local party. Probably more because he made so many personal enemies there than because he was just too mad for them.

Didn’t he rat them out for their coke parties? I can imagine that would have pissed them off.

Especially the ones who weren't invited.

Why’s this mp not on remand

Remand is reserved for people who are likely to commit a further serious crime, interfere with an investigation or not turn up for trial. That's unlikely to be the case in this situation.

interfere with an investigation

Conservative party MO.
Also Met police seem to be in conservative party pocket anyway.

Having worked with the plod and some very high up CT plod at that, they are to a man complete Tory wanks

Party of law and order?

Met police now saying partygate investigation is over.

Yep. 160 odd fines for BREAKING THE LAW. How can this be considered acceptable?

Enter Sue Gray...

Well there’s a war on, and it’s old news, and it’s Labour’s fault anyway somehow, and what matters is getting Brexit done, and….

Enter Sue Gray...

I'm sure Boris has tried to, at some point

126 in total, so barely any new ones. Rozzers have shit the bed and let Johnson off. The Abba party seems to have been excused as a work event somehow.
Still - I imagine the photos will start leaking soon + Gray report out next week, so bound to be some more mileage in this.

Monkeypox

So what's the story here then? Will I catch it?
