Things might be getting a bit bumpy for Boris’s banker.

“The Guardian understands that Bamford was informed of the investigation more than a year ago. Bamford has not informed the House of Lords authorities that he is under investigation, sources told the Guardian.”

Why am I not surprised? Rules are for little people…

That story about #BorisJohnson firing his Nanny because of one glass of rosé with him is nonsense.

We all know the typical rate for one drink with Boris is a PPE contract or a knighthood.

Mind you, it's not like he can hand those out now...

It didn't take long after marrying the woman he was shagging whilst married before Boris starts shagging the nanny that was looking after the child that he had from the woman he was shagging whilst married to the other one.

Confused? You will be after this week's episode of Blojo.

(I can't understand why all these women find millionaire Boris Johnson so attractive.)

@Lats yes, what's novel tho but slowly started with #DavidCameron, exploded with #BorisJohnson and reached the height of ridicule with #LizTruss is how the #Tories have developed a #selfserving culture around the self, literally, AGAINST the party. That is certainly foreign to what #Thatcher used to do. And there are many Tories (unlike in the US) who are still 'old school' & don't like that. I just hope the UK won't follow the US into institutional disintegration.The #climate battle will tell

🧵 2/2: #RussellBrand veered to the US #altright when he lives in Henley, UK. Why such a rebrand, especially with a past affiliated to the Left (Trews etc..). The best explanation is opportunism, just like #BorisJohnson suddenly became a brexiteer when weeks earlier he'd vehemently defended the EU. And while #JoeRogan might have showed him how there was money to be had, I think #Brand watching #MeToo saw an opportunity to prop his immunity behind #conspiracy, as #Trump successful has (so far).

Poet Siegfried Sassoon (born 8th Sep) on Boris Johnson's handling of the covid pandemic:

“Good-morning, good-morning!” the General said
When we met him last week on our way to the line.
Now the soldiers he smiled at are most of 'em dead,
And we're cursing his staff for incompetent swine.
“He's a cheery old card,” grunted Harry to Jack
As they slogged up to Arras with rifle and pack.

But he did for them both by his plan of attack.

Mad Nadine Dorries

The #Tories claim to believe the #market is always right.

So, its interesting that in 2022, they spent £2.4mn more than they raised through donations, which had dropped by over £3.5mn from the previous year.

This is partly the effect of the ousting of #BorisJohnson, unwelcome to the deep-pocketed behind his reign.

But, in a market if your product is losing money, its time to either change the product or find a new customer base; which may explain #RishiSunak's casting around for policies?

First a bit of context setting. There have been fifteen parliamentary by-elections in #England since the #UKGeneralElection2019 - and one in #Scotland. Six of those in #England occurred while #RishiSunak has been #PrimeMinister and the remaining nine while #BorisJohnson was. Of the fifteen seven saw the previous party holding the seat replaced. #labour lost one seat (to the #conservatives ) while the #conservatives lost six - two to #labour and four to the #libdems !

Let me get this straight. The #Tory government wants weaken users online security, but they don't want to hand over #BorisJohnson's phone?

Britische Konservative verlieren bei Nachwahlen zwei Sitze

Bei Nachwahlen in Großbritannien haben die Konservativen zwar den Wahlkreis von Ex-Premier Johnson verteidigt, aber zwei andere Wahlkreise verloren. Die Nachwahlen galten als Stimmungstest für die Regierung.

So the #Tories management of expectations was bang-on - they held onto Uxbridge but lost the other two seats contested in yesterday's #byelections.

The fact that they could hold on to one out of three (#BorisJohnson's old constituency) is in itself a metric of how warped the UK's #democracy is right now - that the wreckers still have some public support remains pretty depressing!

A screenshot of an entry on the Guardian newspapers UK politics live blog. It reads:
“Kevin Rawlinson writes:

Carrie and Boris Johnson have announced the birth of their third child, a second son.

Carrie Johnson, in the caption of an Instagram post with a picture of her holding the newborn, joked: “Welcome to the world Frank Alfred Odysseus Johnson born 5th July at 9.15am. (Can you guess which name my husband chose?!)”

The former prime minister Boris Johnson is keen to be thought of as a scholar of the classics. In Greek mythology, Odysseus leaves behind his wife and child to seek adventure, encountering many other women along the way.”

As #Bolsonaro is banned from political office, #BorisJohnson is (finally) called to account & #Trump's legal problems look to be accelerating, perhaps we should be more optimistic about #constitutional safeguards....

The problem is that they (for good reason of due process & diligence) are slow to move against serial abusers.... but Johnson & his ilk can do a lot of damage in the lag, as we, #America & #Brazil have found out to our costs....

Faster constitutional mechanisms may be in order?

A photo of Boris Johnson standing outside 10 Downing Street draped in England flags. His head has been replaced with a blobfish, with Johnson's hair & eyes. It looks grumpy.

Anyone seen Rishi Sunak recently?

As someone who made it his mission to govern with "integrity, professionalism, and accountability", you would have thought he'd have something to say about a recent PM being found to have lied to Parliament.

Has he been abducted by aliens?

What I find really distasteful about these sort of comments is the reality of the lynch mob in history - #BorisJohnson is not hanging from a tree multilated by an angry mob of racists... no he is just paying the price for his incessant lying & bulls*t - each time this phrase comes up we/they normalise the terrible history of #racerelations (especially in the American South) - it makes me physically ill!!!

I missed that the HoC Privileges is now going to produce a further report on the attacks & intimidation it was subject to while preparing the #BorisJohnson report;

this is starting to have the feel of a proper spring clean around the political practices of the Johnson era.

is this the beginning of the end for the most caustic elements of the #Tory party?

Former British Prime Minister #BorisJohnson deliberately misled Parliament about the lockdown-flouting parties that undermined his credibility and contributed to his downfall, a committee of lawmakers said Thursday after a year-long investigation.

A scathing report from the House of Commons Privileges Committee found Johnson’s actions and his response to the committee were such a flagrant violation of the rules that they warranted a 90-day suspension from Parliament.
