Boris Johnson pictured hosting Number 10 Xmas quiz ‘in breach of Covid Laws’

  1. So he lied at the dispatch box. Again.

    And this proves beyond reasonable doubt he knew about the parties.. he was technically there.

    Edit: anyone else spot the binbag over the security camera in the ceiling corner?

    Edit2: ok, could be a curtain.

  2. Oh shit. This basically proves he knew about the after work parties. He’s basically guaranteed to be banished now isn’t he?

  3. Was going to say I felt bad for his comms team having this drop at 10pm on a Saturday, then I remembered that his top comms guy was already embroiled in this. I’d just turn my phone off tbh

  4. Apparently Dominic Cummings is leaking all of this to Labour. Revenge is a dish best served cold I guess

  5. The leaker really knows their stuff. Drop new revelations on a Saturday evening, let the storm break on Sunday, put the government on the back foot and make them make defensive statements first thing Monday, then leak more stories to contradict those defensive statements. It’s a death spiral now, the question being how long the Conservative party will allow it to drag on.

    If so many people hadn’t died, and so many millions of pounds hadn’t been embezzled, I’d find it all quite amusing. As it is, I look on with a mixture of horror and schadenfreude.

  6. I love the proof but I still have no faith in anything changing. He’ll somehow deny it and it’ll be forgotten about within days. This man can do no wrong in the eyes of the tory voters.

  7. The most hilarious thing I saw someone spot is that in the top left corner, apparently they put bin liner over a security camera.

  8. Incompetence that kills 1000s is fine, but it’ll be playing quizmaster that ends him?

    Like All Capone getting done for taxes.

    He’s done far worse, but I’m glad he’ll get done for something

  9. “The Prime Minister hosted over Teams a short message and quiz as a thank you for all the hard work they put in over an extremely tough year of leading the fight again COVID-19 in Britain and getting the country back on its feet.

    The event was hosted online and during the day and he was assured that all participants were practicing social distance rules where they were at the time of taking part, or were working from home as per government rules.

    The Prime Minister considers the matter closed and is disappointed that the press are wanting to concentrate their time on fabrication, and confusing the message to the public at this important time. He would like to assure the British public that his government is leading the way in getting Great Britain through this wave of COVID-19,saving lives and protecting the NHS.”

  10. I’ve lost 4 family members over the course of lockdown, and I’ll never be able to reclaim the time lost with them.

    Last Christmas was spent alone with my partner and we missed out on precious moments with family members who are no longer with us. I know it was the right thing to do, but still it absolutely sucks.

    To have been through that and now learn that the Tories were partying while the rest of us sacrificed everything is sickening. It’s utterly disgusting to see our supposed ‘leaders’ flout the rules, and lie to the country with their shit eating Tory grins.

    Fuck the Tories, now and forever.

  11. Going to love seeing him try and explain this away at the next PMQs and Covid press conference.

    One would hope that he is totally fucked now.

  12. If this isn’t the end of him then nothing will be.

    All they do is lie and lie and lie. They lie until they get caught out. Then they admit the thing they were caught out on (usually a few days after) but keep up the rest of the lie. If this picture hadn’t come out then I’m sure they’d have never admitted it.

    It’s actually horrific. How can anyone trust this government when they’ve shown that they will lie in the face of indisputable evidence for weeks and weeks.

    This has gone from “there was no party” to “there may have been one party” to “there were multiple parties” to “press secretary + others were there but bojo didn’t know” to “bojo was there at one party on the 15th”. How long until he’s confirmed to have attended multiple others?

    Fuck these people so much. Absolute scum the lot of them. If this doesn’t end in every single person who was aware of those parties taking place being fired then justice hasn’t been done as far as I’m concerned.

  13. Boris has tried popping the kid out, starting plan b neither worked, his only hope now is for Liz to snuff it to deflect the attention.

  14. Starmer is an expert at the forensic long game… remember what he said in April… about resignation and “I’ll leave it there … for now… “it was all beautifully set up and Johnson the egotist did not see the game.

  15. The absolute worst thing about this, the way I see it, is not that we didn’t get to see our families and friends last Christmas, whilst they were laughing about us and did. That’s bad enough, but what’s truly awful and has much further reaching consequences is the complete erosion of trust in the public towards authority.

    For all the anti-vaxxers, anti-maskers, and general COVIDidiots among us, this has been, pardon the comparison, like Christmas come early. These people are constantly looking for confirmation that COVID is a hoax or that something else is going on, and its things like this that add credence to those arguments and strengthen their movement.

    For the more sensible among us who know that COVID is real, even they will likely start to go against government advice more and more. “Well, if Boris can have a Christmas party, then so will I!” / “If Boris can walk around without a mask on, so can I!” and so on.

    At a time when we have a new variant ramping up, having a government that we can trust is going to be more important than ever. Destroying this trust with their constant lies and double standards is going to put so much blood on their hands.

  16. Its pathetic that it took the British people this long to realise Bojo is an utter crook. You legitamately chose this.

  17. So, Boris announces emergency Covid briefing with further measures incoming tomorrow at 5pm as his next distraction?

    He’s even got the Centre for Tropical diseases report which just came out to wave around as a convenient excuse for it. He also gets to play the “Look chaps, new wave, things getting worse, no time for political backbiting, all in this together rah rah” card as a deflection to all calls for him to quit.

  18. It seems that the Complete Cunt gene has been well and truly passed on by the father, another complete cunt.

  19. I’ve lost all faith in our political system. It’s just depressing that the Tory party can get away with what they are doing.

  20. The problem is if he gets booted it’s going to be the usual Tory party BS of “blame everything on him, it’s nothing to do with us” so they will get away with all the deaths from Covid, all their corruption, everything they have done wrong in the past will be conveniently ignored / brushed under the carpet while they and their compliant media herald them as a new, clean party that’s separate from the old party, while continuing to do all the very same acts, self enrichment, NHS privatisation, tax cuts for the wealthy, destruction of human rights, banned protests…. and the majority of the public will lap it all up while they call a new GE once they feel comfortable.

    It’s all just a fucking con and abuse of the country as ever
