All this talk about them splitting up is just a bunch of guff brewed up because she’s been at home with the kids and has not been able to get out to public engagements as much as she used to. Having had small kids myself I know the struggle I'd imagine an ex head of communications for the Conservative party lives her life in a far more calculated way than you or your wife. If she hasn't been papped for months it's because she specifically doesn't want to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite, it was also quite telling that she didn't go to the Polling Station with him for the elections the other week. That one is almost an unwritten rule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they didn’t have small children I’d say definitely something was up but with a baby and a toddler at home there is certainly room for a reasonable explanation.

It’s a fair point, knowing the Johnson family record on shagging the help, I’m sure Carrie has decided to just do everything herself and is probably just filling her days with putting old fashioned reusable nappies on the radiators and clothes horse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it’s just my own experience coming through but my eldest was a difficult baby and very ‘mummy’ dependant until he was about 3. Even being left with a grandparent was an ordeal and a babysitter was out of the question. Who knows what it’s like with their kids but in my mind it’s a possible explanation for why she’s not as available for the media at the moment.

Nah, just a random councillor. If you moved from the MPs to just "people who identify as Tories" the sex offender wings of prisons would probably need to be expanded to house tens of thousands of people.

Dodgyknees Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Interesting to see stories being reported, considering there was a lot of ammo that could have ruined the chances of the Tories getting elected in 2019, but they all ran with 'Antisemitism is rife in the Labour party' instead. Even though there was evidence to show the Tory party had more of a problem, more issues with Islamophobia, sexism, racism and more. All ignored because newspapers might get taxed, we might get free broadband and Nurses won't be forced to use foodbanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my initial thought too, they were not banned from speaking to each other. Now it looks dodgy and shady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This meeting is after the report has been written though isn't it? I was under the impression that it was last month after even some of the initial fines had been handed out How did the idea that this meeting took place come out in the first place? (I genuinely don't know) One thing is for sure, the culture of lying from 10 Downing St hasn't changed and I think at this stage that is the most important thing to note here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then, if this meeting is happening after the report there can't really be much of a suggestion that they were putting pressure on her regarding the contents, no?

Well, my thought on that was redactions maybe? Though there is a suggestion about the use of photographs but that may fall under the same general banner I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 (edited) There is no way Gray should have been anywhere near no 10 and bunter during the investigation. She should have refused immediately and if they pushed back, leak to the press. Edited May 23, 2022 by The Fun Factory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
