Alex 30832 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) I don’t think for a second that Cummins is the genius he likes to think he is but who the fuck is advising Johnson now? I mean he would’ve got hammered for it but he could’ve at least began the process of putting it behind him if he’d said I went and I shouldn’t have. Apologising but then saying he thought it was a works event rather than a party is a ludicrously bad idea and a lie nobody will buy. Hopefully there’s more to come out and it’ll prove he not only knew about it but approved it. He’s always been a chancer winging it but he’s absolutely lost the plot at this point.

I heard them briefly talking about it on the radio and they reckoned it was designed to avoid admitting to criminal behaviour which would be a cut and dry case of breaking the ministerial code. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm confused by this anyway. What the fuck is a "work event"? I was at work every day during that time and the only people I was allowed to be in the same room with were my immediate office coworkers, and we religiously had to stay 2 metres apart (I remember measuring out and putting gaffer tape on the carpet). If I needed to talk to someone in the adjacent office, I had to do it by Zoom. Initially we had to wear a mask all the time but later, probably by May, we had to wear a mask to enter and leave the office, go to the toilet etc. This continued until I left a year later. People were disciplined for genuinely forgetting to put their mask on. Actually the idea of any get together involving alcohol in the work place, even before covid, was unheard of and was an automatic dismissal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 4017 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 The wording of the rules was "a work event deemed essential" - if he's been lawyered I'd suggest a new one. Unless they claim letting off steam/rewarding so called hard work is essential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 26855 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Spending 25 minutes in your own back garden without realising there is a party going on seems rather implausible to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 35639 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I reckon this report will imply, without actually concluding, that it wasn't unreasonable that the PM could believe this was a work event, and it'll all go away. We've watched stitch up after stitch up, and I don't see it ending now. You even read some of the reactions from tory mps and their whole frame of thinking is "has he done enough to get away with it?". It's complete bullshit but I reckon he'll get away with it again.

But were "work events" like this legal? I don't think they were. Was he cced into the e-mail? What more shit does Cummins have on him? He might stay, but he'll mortally injure the tory party in the process imo. It's too emotive a subject for millions of people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
