Dave-G Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 So who thinks Carrie has become Boris's achilles heel? I can't imagine Boris would be overly fussed about spending his own money on decor for what is basically temporary government accommodation - and it seems she got between him and cummins too.

Lloyd90 Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 He’s never let a good scandal bother him in the past. He’s almost as bad as Teflon Tony. He just seems to ignore things until they go away 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enfieldspares Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 (edited) She...the Symonds woman...should do well to recall the old adage that the man who marries his mistress creates a (job) vacancy. If this is the case with Johnson then I have little doubt that it will ultimately be Symonds, yes, that causes his downfall.

oldypigeonpopper Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 Hello, I thought this building is owned buy the taxpayers ?? When it all comes down to the wire no matter who's in government they line their own pockets and whats left is suppose to keep the country going, as for Cummings he's just like a baby that's thrown his dummy out the pram and no one will pick it up, not sure on the Miss Symonds only time will tell, I've said before from what I see today from 50 plus years ago since I voted the same old slogans come rolling in, Vote for me and I will do the opposite, where once we were a proud nation the great of great Britain has fallen off a cliff, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow Bear Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 You must remember there is an election in a week and they can't fault performance much in the circumstances so they resort to mud slinging. I suspect it will go quiet after next Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a track record of misusing funds whilst in public office to get his way with his mistresses. Harlots like Symonds and Arcuri have no moral decency and are a bad influence on a man who’s own moral compass is notoriously changeable.

JohnfromUK Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 What puzzles me is how you can think it sensible to spend £88K (£30K allowance plus the disputed £58K) on 'decoration' of a 'tied to the job' 4 bedroom flat in a fully maintained building - and which was by all accounts in good order. In fact the suggestion here https://www.standard.co.uk/insider/inside-story-number-11-downing-street-carrie-symonds-boris-johnson-flat-b931925.html is that it is more like £200K they have spent ......... on somewhere they will possibly be for 5 years (maybe a lot less if this huge cost blows up on them!).

Mice! Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 Has Boris bought a flat? I'm sure the only people bothered are those who thought Boris would have failed miserably with the vaccination roll out, the last election and every other scandal he's been involved with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 When Boris was in the running for the leadership, I never deluded myself that he was the most honest or sensible man on the planet. All it needed was for him to get Brexit done, as he had promised. Anything else was a bonus. Although there have been wobbles, his handling of the pandemic has been better than any other leader, excluding Israel. He is steering us out of the pandemic and towards economic recovery. Carrie and the flat are mere distractions. In the overall scheme of things, they aren't worth a bean. Labour and the totally ineffectual Starmer seem to think sleaze will win a future election. If they manage to engineer Boris's downfall, the Tories could pick just about anyone to still beat Labour. I don't recall any members being kicked out of Labour for anti-semitism, despite Starmer's claimed priority. They throw second rate mud, but I would be hard pressed to name one of their future election promises. They concentrate on trivia when they should be making bold plans which would capture the imagination of future voters. It just isn't happening, even though Rayner thinks the message is now getting through. Her perception is clearly at odds with anyone with a brain cell.

Spot on. They absolutely went nuts over Cummings' indiscretions. Nobody cared. And yet it dominated the news for days. The *incident* in the pub in Bath should've finished Starmer off by rights - especially his shameful attempted character assassination of the landlord as a "Covid Denier". And yet, media silence. Didn't fit the narrative. Just another "far right" loon. 2 hours ago, Mungler said: How are the vaccinations going, how is the economic recovery going and can I now please have a holiday? Yep. How about "More people were killed on the roads than died with COVID earlier this week, why in the fresh hell are we still locked down?"

dead eye alan Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 In the grand scheme of things a few bob on a lick of paint and a roll of wallpaper falls in to insignificance compared to the billions spent on track and trace that achieved absolutely nothing. At least the flat will be habitable for the next PM no matter who that may be. As a side note Boris has been in one of the worst crisis of modern times and has done well compared to the rest of the world. 4 minutes ago, oldypigeonpopper said: Hello, the goings on in number 10 would make a good Brian Rix farce 🤔😁 Can anyone remember Brian Rix.
