Wine, cheese, partners and kids is not a work meeting, it’s a party.
As Chris Mason said last week, if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck etc, etc...
It was a fecking party and they are banged to rights.
Meanwhile Cressida hides behind her desk, trying to avoid anyone asking her to actually look into some crime.
I said on the last thread that my family held a clandestine joint birthday party on 2 May, 2020. Do you think it would be a good use of police time for them to investigate that?
Perhaps, just to be on the safe side, it isn't a terribly smart idea to boast about having got away with it?
I’ll tell you what, I’ll PM you the details and you can inform Surrey Police.
You may be hoping for that, but that doesn't make it so.
Well you said that last time. There will be more
No, I did not say that last time. What I was interested in then was any evidence of supposed hints dropped by the Mirror's editor that there would be more photos. None was forthcoming.
This photo just shows people at their place of work taking a break in the garden chatting but social distancing, it's not a party. For Rayner to call the picture heartbreaking is absurd
Wish I could have taken a "break" from my work at the time, with colleagues and bottles of wine...
Given how much home working was going on, I bet that was a regular occurrence for many at the time.
I certainly often finished Friday with a gin and tonic before logging off.
Meanwhile Starmer was drinking with Labour workers indoors at the same time
but then you realised that May 2020 and May 2021 don't really count as "at the same time." The dedit doesn't save you, though, because "Meanwhile" still means "at the same time."
Have a break.
How about meanwhile Starmer was having a drink with Labour Party workers some of whom he has subsequently made redundant due to running out of money!!
What about whataboutery, in other words? And why can't Labour be on the Randox payroll like everyone else is?
You may be hoping for that, but that doesn't make it so.

All canteens on building sites were shut at the time so people sat outside and ate their lunch and chatted. What is the difference ?
Did the lads on the site often chug wine at lunch time like?
Naw, but they did like to nibble on a bit of brie so as to keep their energy up for the afternoon shift.

They didn’t take their wives and partners with them. Or drink wine. Or restrict their “lunch” to a cheese board. Those are the main differences. Others may be able to add some
Who has taken their wife?
Looks like Carrie with baby at her breast seated by Boris.
So the lady who lives at the property is sat in her garden socially distanced from everyone else, the staff are in the garden as they work there and are having a break. These people work in the office next to the garden together and have taken a break together. I really can't see any issues with this photo.

The regulations had nothing to say on the presence of alcohol. Alcohol is prohibited on building sites for health and safety reasons. Not necessarily in an office, if the employer allows it. Cheese is a perfectly adequate lunch. Mrs Johnson lives on site and counts as a member of her husband's bubble, so there is no reason why she shouldn't join him for lunch.
Great defence.
Don't operate heavy machinery after drinking but running a country while drunk is fine.
Also Carrie was in Johnson's bubble but I doubt the rest of the party were in her bubble as well.

Wine, cheese, partners and kids is not a work meeting, it’s a party.

Why? If you want to incriminate yourself, why not just notify them direct?
Today No 10 told @rowenamason@GuardianHeather@peterwalker99 “As we said last week, work meetings often take place in the Downing Street garden in the summer months. On this occasion there were staff meetings after a No 10 press conference."

For the first time in ages refusing to watch SPOTY due to the stupid shortlist.
If Hamilton had been in final 6 would have been guaranteed a top 2. His exclusion means basically a landslide for the tennis woman whose name escapes me.

Because I don’t need to be told that no one, especially the police, gives a flying fuck about people breaking lockdown rules c.May 2020.
Sky predictably leads on the picture and to be honest it just has not got the same cut through
They do not lead on the important story that Rishi has doubled the money to the devolved administrations and will continue to work with them going forward

You seriously think that was a party and not people taking a break from their office which is next to the garden ?
So they got pissed and then went back to work?
I would have been sacked for that...
Used to be the case within my career that going drinking at lunchtime at least one day a week was the norm. The 20s are rather more puritanical than the 90s were in that respect but I'd say it's far from unheard of.

But I doubt if you are going to prove it by telling them, and then finding that the real reason these things aren't being investigated is that Johnson has - ahem - influence over Dick.
These photos are irrelevant now. The original story had 100% cut through so they achieve nothing. Everyone already knows Boris is a lying hypocritical oaf.
Exactly and this release may help him as it certainly is not a party as most would imagine

All canteens on building sites were shut at the time so people sat outside and ate their lunch and chatted. What is the difference ?
They didn’t take their wives and partners with them. Or drink wine. Or restrict their “lunch” to a cheese board. Those are the main differences. Others may be able to add some
Who has taken their wife?
Looks like Carrie with baby at her breast seated by Boris.
So the lady who lives at the property is sat in her garden socially distanced from everyone else, the staff are in the garden as they work there and are having a break. These people work in the office next to the garden together and have taken a break together. I really can't see any issues with this photo.

Um, that's a line you have recycled from elsewhere without really understanding it. Party vs not-party is not an issue here.
So people doing really long hours have taken a socially distanced break in the garden next to their office and that's a party. Look at the people stood up people are not close to each other, I really thought the photos would be 100 times worse than this

Given how much home working was going on, I bet that was a regular occurrence for many at the time.

Then what is the point? The cheese? The wine? The time of day? The some-instances-of-less-than-two-metres? None of it seems particularly exercising. Or is the point that the government are about to place a whole bunch of totalitarian restrictions on its citizens on the basis of some dodgy modelling 'just in case'? Yes, I think that the point. But that requires journalists to do a tiny bit of thinking. So here's a picture of Boris eating some cheese.

It was a work meeting then. Entirely allowable.
Is everything either a work meeting or a party these days?
The most significant thing about the photo isn't the photo itself, it's the fact that someone took and released it.
If their biggest transgression during lockdown 1 was a bubbled unwind outside then they did very well indeed - so that raises the question of which photo will be released next.

The regulations had nothing to say on the presence of alcohol. Alcohol is prohibited on building sites for health and safety reasons. Not necessarily in an office, if the employer allows it. Cheese is a perfectly adequate lunch. Mrs Johnson lives on site and counts as a member of her husband's bubble, so there is no reason why she shouldn't join him for lunch.
Hang on. Where did this certainty it was a lunch come from? The shadows look a bit long for that.
They are. And if that is the north agrden wall the sun is in the west. = 6-ish.

Oh yes it is!
He's a goner.
Well, he was that anyway. This is just a few more drops of acid on his reputation and another day where the narrative continues. But that's not the interesting bit. The interesting bit consists of

That might fly if Mrs Johnson wasn't there....I don't take Mrs U to my work meetings.
Are your work meetings in your own garden of Mrs U's home?
Where is Mrs U when you have work meetings in your home garden?
Yes, until recently it was actually and no Mrs U doesn't join us when we are working.
In normal times, I doubt anybody would blink even if Carrie was there, but you can't go on the telly and tell everybody there are these super strict rules, then have do this.
If it was literally just the #10 team on some tables eating a pizza and perhaps a glass of wine, there initial claims would probably just about fly. Now you have family members there.

Tbh, the newspaper revelations have been the wrong way around, the Allegra Stratton video should have been saved for after these lame pictures.
Whoever decided the order, they will have saved something meaty for last. So if it isn’t meaty, it isn’t last.
I'm not sure that they've thought it through so far because you wouldn't open up with the video.
Surely several sources, and multiple channels competing to 'scoop' each other. It would be wrong to assume there is an overall 'plan'.
The net effect on Johnson's Premiership remains terminal though imo.
Yes, it does I just want it to be over sooner and these lame garden pictures aren't going to do that no matter how much people wish that tombe true. We need Boris holding a glass of champagne surrounded by young women in a dimly lit room at Number 10 during a lockdown. That's the picture or video we need.
Utilising Kellner's Law (if opinion polls are wrong, they are almost always wrong in the same direction) I'm going to stick my neck out and say Kast wins with 51% - currently available at 3.6 on Smarkets:

- mostly closer than 2m - more than 2 at a social event outside (if it is a social event) - having spouse and child unnecessarily at a work meeting (if it is a work event) - either way breaching household bubbles multiply - general **** you to the public who were expected to follow the rules

SPOTY is being inflicted on me by the in laws. It’s awful. He BBC at its worse. Smug, self congratulatory and full of its own importance. I detest everything about it.
When I was a kid, I loved Sports Review of The Year - as it was known then - but it’s now an awards show, which are always a bit nauseating.
That world award for Blackmore is a bit of a joke. Of course the Irish person won a vote limited to people in the UK.
Yes, I'm sure it used to be about 3 hours long - long enough to look at each of the major sports in detail. I guess the BBC think we don't have the attention span for that. Also, I suppose, there probably isn't that much it has the rights to any more.
Today No 10 told @rowenamason@GuardianHeather@peterwalker99 “As we said last week, work meetings often take place in the Downing Street garden in the summer months. On this occasion there were staff meetings after a No 10 press conference."
That might fly if Mrs Johnson wasn't there....I don't take Mrs U to my work meetings.
Are your work meetings in your own garden of Mrs U's home?
Where is Mrs U when you have work meetings in your home garden?
When I have work meetings at home (rare I admit but not unheard of ) I have to ask Mrs S to leave because confidential client matters are discussed. Carrie it appears is invited to work meetings at the heart of Government…

How many work meetings with wine and cheese did you have in your garden during lockdown?
Pre-lockdown: Plenty.
During lockdown: None as nobody was working in my house other than my family during lockdown. Had anybody else been working there, there'd be no issues with them having refreshments in the garden.

I’m glad Biles won her award. She’s brave and an inspiration.
Lol! I’m glad I missed that as I find all the stuff around her a bit over the top.

Should she be there if it's a work meeting? Is she a member or employee of the government?
I see no reason why she shouldn't. She doesn't need to be a formal member or employee of the government.
If the PM wants her by his side as an unofficial advisor, that's entirely his prerogative isn't it?
I'm sure Cherie and Samantha and others have all been at functions where their husbands were working at the time too.
Hmm, I would definitely not want my wife in any of my work meetings. I think it's inappropriate for the PM to have his wife present. If he wants to talk to her afterwards and get her views that's up to him.
You may be hoping for that, but that doesn't make it so.
Well you said that last time. There will be more
No, I did not say that last time. What I was interested in then was any evidence of supposed hints dropped by the Mirror's editor that there would be more photos. None was forthcoming.
This photo just shows people at their place of work taking a break in the garden chatting but social distancing, it's not a party. For Rayner to call the picture heartbreaking is absurd
Wish I could have taken a "break" from my work at the time, with colleagues and bottles of wine...
All canteens on building sites were shut at the time so people sat outside and ate their lunch and chatted. What is the difference ?
They didn’t take their wives and partners with them. Or drink wine. Or restrict their “lunch” to a cheese board. Those are the main differences. Others may be able to add some
Who has taken their wife?
Looks like Carrie with baby at her breast seated by Boris.
So the lady who lives at the property is sat in her garden socially distanced from everyone else, the staff are in the garden as they work there and are having a break. These people work in the office next to the garden together and have taken a break together. I really can't see any issues with this photo.
That's because you are a dickhead, if that helps.
Cannot believe the wazzocks coming out of the woodwork in defence of BJ and Lady Suck Suck. It's over, lads.
You are so brave ! If that photo is considered a party then they really can't have many good ones
Um, that's a line you have recycled from elsewhere without really understanding it. Party vs not-party is not an issue here.
So people doing really long hours have taken a socially distanced break in the garden next to their office and that's a party. Look at the people stood up people are not close to each other, I really thought the photos would be 100 times worse than this
Way to miss the point. Again whether it was a party or not is ENTIRELY IRRELEVANT.
Its very relevant.
"Wife and kids" being in the garden of where they live is entirely legal.
Employees being in the garden of where they work is entirely legal.
Scraping the bottom of the barrel here. Using the fact that Carrie is there to suggest something wrong is disgraceful, a very "women shouldn't be seen or heard" attitude. She lives there, she's entitled to be in the garden.
Scraping yourself. If she is there it's not a work meeting but a social occasion. Ergo ...
She lives there. She's entirely entitled to be where she lives while a work meeting is happening.
Have you ever had a work meeting in your house. Did you tell your wife she had to f**k off elsewhere while you did?
Yes! As I said above if I’m discussing confidential matters I have to ask my wife to leave the room or I’d be in breach of professional obligations. Does Carrie have clearance to attend government meetings at No 10? If so on what basis?
You may be hoping for that, but that doesn't make it so.
Well you said that last time. There will be more

So she can waltz into a COBRA briefing at her own pleasure?

Don't operate heavy machinery after drinking but running a country while drunk is fine.
Also Carrie was in Johnson's bubble but I doubt the rest of the party were in her bubble as well.
Then you can get some historical data using the Microsoft BI panel that will slowly load or you can expand the historical reports section below and download fuck loads of PDFs.
A work meeting with wine and cheese.

If Hamilton had been in final 6 would have been guaranteed a top 2. His exclusion means basically a landslide for the tennis woman whose name escapes me.
They do not lead on the important story that Rishi has doubled the money to the devolved administrations and will continue to work with them going forward
He's a goner.
Or is the point that the government are about to place a whole bunch of totalitarian restrictions on its citizens on the basis of some dodgy modelling 'just in case'? Yes, I think that the point. But that requires journalists to do a tiny bit of thinking. So here's a picture of Boris eating some cheese.
It is kind of amazing that Piers Morgan isn't the worst Piers and Jeremy Corbyn isn't the worst Corbyn.

If their biggest transgression during lockdown 1 was a bubbled unwind outside then they did very well indeed - so that raises the question of which photo will be released next.
Postal votes were being cast, and the LibDems needed time to fire up the printing press and deliver to a very rural area.
Had the clown held the seat, if might have been game over already.

1 Who?
2 Why?
3 Why now?

A peck of pickled Peppa Pippa picked.
The net effect on Johnson's Premiership remains terminal though imo.
In normal times, I doubt anybody would blink even if Carrie was there, but you can't go on the telly and tell everybody there are these super strict rules, then have do this.
If it was literally just the #10 team on some tables eating a pizza and perhaps a glass of wine, there initial claims would probably just about fly. Now you have family members there.
Have you ever had a work meeting in your house. Did you tell your wife she had to f**k off elsewhere while you did?
For anyone interested... polls close 9pm GMT

Utilising Kellner's Law (if opinion polls are wrong, they are almost always wrong in the same direction) I'm going to stick my neck out and say Kast wins with 51% - currently available at 3.6 on Smarkets:

- more than 2 at a social event outside (if it is a social event)
- having spouse and child unnecessarily at a work meeting (if it is a work event)
- either way breaching household bubbles multiply
- general **** you to the public who were expected to follow the rules

I'm sure Cherie and Samantha and others have all been at functions where their husbands were working at the time too.
Pathetic. They won **** all, and poor Southgate had to acknowledge that.
Daley and Lee should have won that.
Also, I suppose, there probably isn't that much it has the rights to any more.
During lockdown: None as nobody was working in my house other than my family during lockdown. Had anybody else been working there, there'd be no issues with them having refreshments in the garden.
Arbeit Macht Frei. That's actually true, a shame the phrase is now a tad tarnished
Gin o'clock!
