when you complain about people tracking your private jet, all i hear is “i can’t afford to simultaneously fly around several dozen decoy jets.” maybe you should have worked a little harder

He prevented people from saying goodbye to dying relatives, but he thinks it was ok for him to have leaving drinks with people. He doesn't get it. Zero contrition
The PM says some events identified in Sue Gray's report were held for the purpose of "saying goodbye to valued colleagues". He adds that "some people will think it was wrong even to do that" but "I respectfully disagree." Live: trib.al/DkRY0kS 📺 Sky 501 and YouTube

The picture Nadine Dorries is retweeting is of Keir Starmer sharing a curry with Frank Dobson who died in 2019. Ergo he could not have been eating with Keir Starmer in 2021 no matter what time of day it was. Nadine Dorries is the Cabinet minister responsible for #disinformation

What an absolute mess: >20K in hospital >150 deaths per day >2K new admissions per day That’s three times greater than any other infectious disease in the U.K. And the plan: Ration Care for everyone! What an utter mess!

That Met Questionnaire: 1. What computing word also means religious imagery (4) 2. What hat did Tommy Cooper wear (3) 3. What was Pippin’s surname in LoTR (4) 4. What word is missing from “without _____ or reason” (5) Now phone the Met, and read the answers one after another.

Nadine Dorries tells the Times that any Conservative MP who calls for the Prime Minister to resign is "being disloyal to the prime minister, the party, their constituents and the wider country.” Here’s what she said back in 2018.

Actually the more I look at this, the more it looks like a stunt. Nobody yet knows which party will be in government in 2027, let alone who will be culture secretary. It's a distraction from the leadership crisis, nothing more.

There’s more: On December 17th, the day *after* Djokovic’s purported positive PCR test on December 16th, Djokovic attended an award ceremony for children at the Novak Tennis Center. Many posts from the kids there posing for pictures with him that day, again masklessly indoors.

Can I just say, if you're unvaccinated, and change your mind but worried about people judging you at the vaccination center, this will absolutely not be the case. We will welcome you with open arms.

So to be clear the Cabinet Secretary was investigating a party than apparently didn't happen but which people resigned for attending but he can't any more because of another party than didn't happen but he did attend.
