Back to work, Britain! But has #BorisJohnson come back from his #Chrimbo #holibobs?

Another late night, Boris? The prime minister may well have spent Christmas raving it up as usual. But the question is, where?

It’s a valid question – especially with Boris Johnson himself saying workplaces should be prepared for a quarter of employees to be absent.

But while they may be missing due to Covid-19 – Johnson himself is far more likely to have jaunted off to foreign parts on his holibobs.

Who can forget this interview from just after Christmas?

With his reputation for (dis)honesty, it’s entirely reasonable to wonder where Johnson is and what he’s up to.

Nero fiddled while his home burned; Johnson daubed

Boris Johnson on his holibobs: he’s an artist, and while we all think his medium begins with ‘P’, we didn’t think it was paint.

Here’s a good question:

At the time of writing, to This Writer’s knowledge, he wasn’t.

If you’re wondering what we’re on about, what with the great Spanish artist having died in 1973, then perhaps the following few tweets will help:

Yes. While on an expensive holiday abroad (funded by someone else – possibly Zac Goldsmith?) the prime minister has taken up painting.

Meanwhile, the UK is going to Hell in a handbasket, and Johnson’s absence has come under criticism:

Meanwhile, the UK is lurching from one crisis to another:

The Mirror lists the energy crisis that cold lead to power cuts; gas price increases that are putting factories on the verge of shutdown; the poverty faced by millions after the £20 cut in Universal Credit; empty supermarket shelves and the threat of permanently higher food prices; and the HGV driver shortage.

To that, we could add the escalating Covid-19 crisis that both the government and the mainstream media are ignoring; the NHS logjam that now starts at our GP practices and Sajid Javid’s lame attempt to divert the blame; the failure of Brexit and in particular the collapse of the Northern Ireland protocol due to Johnson’s lies; Priti Patel’s psychotic determination to cause the deaths of refugees, epitomised by her attempt to ensure her officials don’t take the blame; and the general racism of Tory MPs.

The response from Downing Street? Johnson is “continuing to lead” while still being on holiday in Marbella.

Never mind that, Diane – This Writer hasn’t seen or heard a peep out of him since he left, more or less a week ago.

I’m not convinced that Downing Street was telling the whole truth.

And it doesn’t change the simple fact:

Boris Johnson jets off on ‘hard-earned’ holiday – just five weeks after his last one

Flag-waving twit: It wouldn’t surprise anybody if this was how Boris Johnson arrived in Marbella.

Here’s the story, then:

That’s right – he said he was going to “unleash the spirit of Britain” but instead he’s slipped the leash and run off to Marbella.

He is said to have gone on Friday and will be at a luxury villa until next Thursday. One supposes he needed a break after the effort of telling all those lies in his Tory conference speech.

Or, indeed, from the effort of doing this:

Some of us have questioned the wisdom of a prime minister leaving the country in such a terrible state:

Of course, Mr Johnson has famously complained that he can’t afford to survive on his prime ministerial salary alone, and we discovered that this was true when we found out that his redecoration of the Downing Street flat was funded by someone else, as was his holiday over Christmas 2019.

Tory Donor David Ross, who owns Carphone Warehouse, arranged for Johnson to stay in a holiday villa whose former owners were paid by The Mustique Company that manages the island.

So this question is fair:

Of course, some Tories are outraged at criticism of the PM’s apparently-sudden decision to do a moonlight (or even a daylight) flit. But, reading Cllr Joe Porter’s comment, my sympathies were with Brendan May.

Most of us, I expect, agree with the sentiments expressed below:

What would Johnson himself say? Something like this?

It would be in character – because it’s wrong. Oh – and that means Cllr Porter was wrong too:

Some commenters are making particularly pointed observations:

It’s possible – especially considering the claims by former Tory Deputy PM Michael Heseltine:

Lord Heseltine asked Sky News: “Can you show me any area where you think this Government has actually achieved a greater degree of control?

“It’s lurching from crisis to crisis and it is patently not in control.”

Fair comment? The New York Times would apparently agree – not only with the sentiment but with where blame should be laid:

But it seems Johnson has a plan to maintain power. He’s planning to hold an election in November or December 2023 – more than two years from now – in a bid to wrongfoot Keir Starmer’s Labour Party and catch it off-guard:

Sadly, knowing Starmer, he’ll probably succeed.

There’s a really simple reason recorded Covid cases have fallen but deaths are up

It’s not over: the reason recorded Covid-19 infections are falling is that school pupils aren’t being tested; they’re on holiday.

News media like the BBC are all over the fact that the number of recorded Covid-19 infections has dropped for the seventh day running.

They’re practically ignoring the fact that the daily death total has leapt to 131 – the highest number since March.

Bit of a discrepancy, that.

The reason could be that fewer people have been tested over the last seven days.

The reason for that?

Most of the schools broke up for the summer nearly a week ago. Our kids aren’t being tested any more.

Johnson under investigation AGAIN – this time over funding for his Caribbean holiday in 2019

Boris Johnson: he spends lots of money, but he doesn’t seem to spend any of his own.

Has Boris Johnson paid for anything himself since he became prime minister?

How many more investigations into alleged financial improprieties by him are we going to see?

And how much public money are they going to cost?

This is ridiculous.

As UK citizens, we expect our representatives to behave with exemplary dignity, propriety and honesty – at all times.

If Johnson is found wanting, in any of the investigations currently racking themselves up around him, then we must demand his resignation – or removal – in disgrace.

And let’s not have the usual Tory whitewash because we will know if it’s a stitch-up.

We’re all watching very carefully now.

Boris Johnson is being investigated by the MPs’ standards watchdog over the funding of a Caribbean holiday [on Mustique, an island playground for the incredibly rich] in 2019.

Commons standards commissioner Kathryn Stone has confirmed she is looking into whether the prime minister correctly declared how the trip was paid for.

Mr Johnson has previously declared he received accommodation worth £15,000, covered by Carphone Warehouse co-founder David Ross.

Shameless Tory Children’s Minister tries to steal credit for Marcus Rashford’s school meals campaign

Brazen: Ford’s false claims are disproved by her own voting record.

How brazen can these Tories be?

Children’s Minister Vicky Ford has told Good Morning Britain viewers that she – not Marcus Rashford – was the person who got the government to extend free school meals into the holidays during the Covid-19 crisis, and who created lockdown meal vouchers.

She said she was not influenced by Rashford’s campaign at all.

Her claim has been ridiculed by those of us who can read Hansard, which shows that she voted against demands for such schemes – twice.

See for yourself:

Social media commentators have used the claim to make Ford a target for ridicule – and rightly so:

I want to know what Marcus Rashford – who received an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List last year for his  services to vulnerable children in the UK during COVID-19, has to say about Ms Ford’s claims.

Don’t let them get away with it: next time Tories mention £63m fund to feed kids, remind them it has been SPENT

Money, money, money: and none of it is for hungry children. The £63m fund mentioned so often by Boris Johnson and others was not for that purpose and was all spent before they even started talking it up.

You know that £63 million fund Conservative ministers like Robert Jenrick, Nadhim Zahawi, Matt Hancock and Boris Johnson keep saying is available to feed poor children over school holidays?

It was all spent weeks ago.

It came to only a few hundred thousand pounds per council.

When they Tories provided it in July, it was with a proviso that the money had to be spent within 12 weeks.

And it wasn’t specifically for feeding hungry children anyway.

Here’s Peter Stefanovic:

Don’t let them get away with it.

Next time a Tory minister turns up on the media peddling this lie, complain.

Complain to that minister personally, and also to the media outlet, be it the BBC, Sky News or some local radio station operating out of a Portakabin.

Let’s expose these liars and child-starvers for what they are.

Note: This Site has been reminded that a handful of Conservatives voted in favour of feeding children during the school holidays, in rebellion against their party’s line that called for your kids to starve. Obviously they should not be targeted during protests. The are:

Caroline Ansell( quit Government post)
Robert Halfon
Jason McCartney
Anne Marie Morris
Holly Mumby-Croft

No doubt there are perfectly good reasons to criticise the above-named people as well – they are Tories, after all – but this isn’t one of them.

Part-time prime minister Johnson is off on his holibobs again

On his bike: this is an old pic but you can bet Boris Johnson couldn’t wait to run away from all the chaos he has caused.

Do you find it as disturbing as I do that Boris Johnson disappears on holiday whenever the going gets tough for his government?

He ran away when the country faced a huge flooding crisis back in February – can you remember that far back?

He’s away again now, in the middle of the furore over school exam results.

And he even took paternity leave at the height of the Covid-19 crisis, when his ministers were running around like headless chickens, cutting a swathe of death through the UK’s elderly and disabled population – and National Health Service workers.

He said he would go to Scotland for his break, but it would be more appropriate for him to visit in his official capacity – to apologise for, and explain why, his Scottish Conservative leader’s absence from a VJ Day anniversary event to act as a linesman in a football match.

It seems Johnson is not the only part-timer on the Conservatives’ team!

And it might do him some good to have to explain absenteeism by another member of his team.

In fact, if you are a Scottish reader of This Site and you happen upon Johnson in your day-to-day business, why not challenge him over this – and take video of it if you can?

Meanwhile the Twittering classes have been having fun:

Oh… flooding back again, is it? No wonder Johnson has cleared off again, then.

Is the government cutting school meal vouchers for ALL deprived kids?

No square meals: vulnerable children will be forced to go hungry during the school holidays because the stingy Tory government wants them to starve.

School meal vouchers for deprived children in at least one council area are being stopped – because it’s half term.

Isn’t that typically short-sighted of the Conservative government (Westminster funds the scheme)?

The coronavirus crisis means more people than ever are short of cash, and this will only tip the most vulnerable even further into poverty.

This is a decision to starve children – and for no reason at all.

Here’s the Liverpool Echo:

Children in one of Britain’s most deprived boroughs will have to go without free school meals over half term.

Knowsley Council said it was unable to extend its voucher system over the break as the government would not fund the scheme outside term time.

Cllr Jayne Aston, the borough’s finance chief, said: “Despite our best efforts, and those of other organisations, we have been unable to persuade the government to recognise the challenge many families are facing and fund the vouchers over the school half term break.”

Although the government agreed to fund free school meals during the Easter holidays, it has so far refused to extend provision into either half term or the summer break.

How many children in other council areas will be affected by this?

And how much harm will the Tories cause by making them starve?

After lying about Corbyn in the #EUreferendum campaign, where was Jo Swinson during #StopTheCoup? ON HOLIDAY.

This is damning.

Did you notice, during social media coverage of yesterday’s (August 31) #StopTheCoup demonstrations, that took place across the whole of the United Kingdom and involved hundreds of thousands, if not more than a million people, that some used the hashtag #WheresJoSwinson?

Well, now we know.

She was on holiday.

And, as some say, the optics are really bad because of her lie about Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn in the EU referendum:

Would you like it from another source?

https://twitter.com/crashingbore123/status/1167913221971275776

And one more:

Now, there’s nothing wrong with going on holibobs every now and then (if you can afford it these days!) but some times are inappropriate.

MPs have just had a lengthy summer break. As leader of the Liberal Democrats, Ms Swinson knew that the result of the Conservative leadership election was likely to put someone in charge who would make changes that require a concerted show of opposition from, well, the Opposition.

But when the moment came, she was nowhere to be seen.

What a hypocrite. Liberal Democrats must be cringing with humiliation.
