brexit negging when yr mandate is is trash: or further chronicles of a garbage-fire

Boris is mentioned iirc.

I couldn't see his name on the blurry pic above.

This thread on abuse across party shows in detail how power is exercised over young people who want to get involved in political party activity.

short thread about sexual assault and abuse of power in politics.

I couldn't see Boris' name either.

It may be cobbled together in whatever way (not at all like the process that went into the shitty media men thing in the US) but there is up to a dozen MPs whose careers could be threatened by this (if anymore comes out about Fallon then why shouldn't he resign as am MP altogether), and this government have no numbers.

Boris is there - near the top of the unredacted version of the list doing the rounds.

Presumably Fallon went not just because of hypocrisy, but also his position was very sensitive to the risk of blackmail. Not sure the rest will quite go so easily, but we live in hope ...

Here is what might be next:

Daily Masil working overtime on this one..

https://tompride.wordpress.com/2017/10/31/the-unredacted-spreadsheet-of-40-tory-mps-accused-of-inappropriate-sexual-behaviour/

(not entirely unredacted, but the source of the above screenshot)

i think that spreadsheet should be disregarded for now

Always bracing to hear what you think, but you might have to show your working on that one. Do you mean in general, or by ILX?

actually all we need is a date and time when we can once again start regarding it

caek and sharivari have expressed it v well upthread

Actually what sharivari could be arguing for is as much as how this needs to come out more in the open for the education of the public on inner workings of Westminster politics.

yes, but not in the form of a prudish and arguably homophobic bit of unsubstantiated gossip

proper allegations or it's bullshit, basically

also never write 'fornicated with', 'sexual relations' etc.

You are looking for specific positions listed?

fwiw the Mail ran this story, actually two separate stories, about Fallon three years ago, to zero interest...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2706948/New-defence-secretary-Michael-Fallon-accused-calling-female-author-slut-drunken-bar-clash.html

Fallon resigned (with rumours that more would come out), Green is calling the lawyers, activists are speaking out. This 'lets put the lid back on' is a useless take. xp

Ministers have insisted Brexit policymaking must be “conducted in a safe space to allow for design and deliberation to be done in private”.

not saying to put the lid back on. we need the lid further off. the spreadsheet is only useful as a portent of actual revelations

Lol @ Will Wragg entry, dude must flinch every time the more famous pee-tape is mentioned or alluded to

daily mail political editor:

Fallon timeline: Gavin Williamson tells PM that Fallon might have to go. Fallon goes. Williamson gets his job

loz kuenz:

One minister tells me ‘She is so weak she has let Williamson appoint himself-this is appalling’

don't think i knew who williamson was before but um

those teeth have closed around the neck of a live rodent

So you did read the dossier then?

Apparently Williamson got the idea to suggest Fallon step down from a DM sent by a senior correspondent at a popular tabloid newspaper. Told that Williamson did not immediately see the benefit but was eventually persuaded after a brief presentation in the form of several crude sketches.

williamson looks like the lovechild of tom cruise and steve coogan in that pic

may looking relaxed, comfortable and natural in front of the camera, as ever

lol calzino

and yeah i read it like two days ago. my feelings of 'ooh we'll get 'em now!' were rapidly replaced by feelings of 'citation needed', 'this is spurious' and 'i don't see anything really wrong with this' together with a deep mistrust of whoever compiled it

n.b. i don't doubt the the house of commons is rife with sexual misconduct

Gavin Williamson? This is reminds me of sitting down to watch a Scotland game and realizing you have no idea who some of the players are.

He has recent form for making up Gove is gay rumours and referring to TM as a "charisma free bitch".

Stoked for the madness with this guy tbh...

owls are good not bad i'm backing britain

tawny sleaze

The idea that Theresa May had been forced to make Gavin Williamson defence secretary to shore up her "weak" position was "strictly for the birds", Tory MP Nadim Zahawi has said.

Asked by the BBC if his (own) behaviour has always been of a standard expected of cabinet ministers, Mr Johnson replied: "You bet."

owls are good

mark s otm, let's not let owls be unfairly tarred by their entirely circumstantial links to rightwing politics

more "actually gavin williamson has some good qualities" wikipedia sidenotes: "He was criticised by parliamentary authorities for bringing his pet tarantula Cronus to the Houses of Parliament.[13]"

wtf i love gavin williamson now

owls are well known for eating their own siblings during times of hardship, never heard of one throwing them under a bus before though
