Option 1 - Investigated by MET does not meet standards of criminal wrongdoing. Takes wind out of Sue Grey report. Gas lighting commences.

Option 2 - After 6 months, MET decide they need to be independent. South Yorkshire police investigate for the next 5 years. No one cares as it’s yesterdays news.

Option 3 - Civil servant takes the fall. Downing Street blames Whitehall and calls for reform. Resignations of junior staff to save big dog.

Option 4 - Downing Street waits till either the queen dies, war breaks out, or prince phillip is arrested. A dead cat so big it’s inappropriate to talk about parties and cake. Trivialising past events.

Option 5 - Wrong-doing has been identified by a senior MP who is not that bright (Raab, Patel, Trust). Johnson distances himself from them and condemns their activity’s. Nothing much happens or changes. Perhaps a year away from being in cabinet.

It would be. But as it stands the odds must be about 50:50

Are you suggesting matricide or filicide?

Philicide from the looks of things.

So now BJ is trying to be all statesmanlike, calling Putin to tell him off etc. Does anyone not see through this blatant attempt to deflect attention from his domestic difficulties?

Johnson - Vladimir, please stop being beastly to those poor Ukrainians. If you don’t we’ll get jolly angry.

Putin - Sorry, I’m just waiting for the next guy
