Let's Get Political!

Allegra Stratton has resigned over her bit of Christmapartygate.

Not a good look laughing, but not exactly the worst perpetrate of the whole thing either.

Well considering she seemed to have done the sweet sum of fuck all since she was appointed its hardly a loss.

I suspect things are going to get more farcical, nothing breeds loyalty in your staff than to publicly fling them all under the bus the line appearing to be essentially "all of my staff have been lying to me and I was unaware of a party in my own house", looks like an exemplary way to encourage them to leak evidence that you already knew about the party last year.

Add to that the fact that for that video to have a) been saved at all and b) leaked last night suggests that he has enemies pretty high up the food chain and one wonders whatever else he knows, from the way Starmer continues to allow him to dig himself into a corner I do wonder whether Labour know exactly what info is available and whether evidence that he was actually at the party will emerge next Tuesday evening?

Almost certain there will be some more skeletons in the closet!

I doubt Boris will be going anywhere though unfortunately, the man escapes everything.

He’s screwed, though. If he knew and lied, he’s fucked. If he didn’t know, then he’s an incompetent for not knowing what’s going on in No. 10.

There’s no way he can deny any knowledge. That’s just not feasible.

Wonder who released that video.

I saw a tweet earlier questioning why the Sun newspaper were not going very heavy handed on their reporting of it, apparently it was because they had their own restrictions breaking party the same night.

Yep, as reported in Private Eye.

Wonder if she is having a leaving party?

This video. How come she is the only one identified in the video. Everyone else have their faces masked out.

Wonder if she’s been thrown under the bus with a promise of a cushy number when the heat dies down

She is not the only one ID'ed there is also a guy named Ed Oldfield another PM advisor, he shares a name with a journo in the south west who has subsequently been inundated with hassle about it.

No doubt Stratton will become Dame Stratton as soon as things quiet down.

So, upper Stratton?

With the last few days, I'm not sure I'd rule out abduction.
