caek and sharivari have expressed it v well upthread

imago, Thursday, 2 November 2017 10:23 (six years ago) link

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

imago, Thursday, 2 November 2017 10:38 (six years ago) link

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...

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”.

totally hypocrap statement from those snowflakes in the brexit dept.

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

So you did read the dossier then?

calzino, Thursday, 2 November 2017 11:21 (six years ago) link

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.

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.

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.

Terry Micawber (Tom D.), Thursday, 2 November 2017 11:57 (six years ago) link

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

Let's cut to the chase - the tie IS meat.

The BBC’s political editor, Laura Kuenssberg, said the abuse and threats she faced were meant to try to silence her, as she spoke out for the first time about the subject since she was assigned a bodyguard during the Labour party conference.

was LK hammer not also assigned a bodyguard for conservative party conference?

No, only the Labour Party has problems with misogyny. I think.

There will be a lot of Tesco Value Machiavellis jockeying for position in the Tory party over the next few weeks, most of which we'll never have heard of before, but this Williamson guy looks like he's going to be a treat.
