He's a child (very Trump-like in that way, and other ways of course). I wouldn't put him in charge of cutlery, never mind the country.

It's Carrie I feel sorry for. All that money spent decorating and now she's got to move out. |
*Our* money wasn't it - or has he been made to pay it all back?
The question my retired civil servant, politically mid-colour, friend wanted to know in phone chat on Sunday eve was "who paid for the booze at these parties?"
She also said that on her entire working life as a civil servant, there wasn't ever even one occasion when they had a "drinks after (or during) work" event, and she finished at quite a high level. |  |

Some was public, but I think he was made to pay that back. Some was from undeclared donations from Party donors (another breach of the rules). Something like that anyway.
I suspect there's a lot of variation between different types of civil servants and where they worked. I used to do a fair bit of work out at embassies and high commissions, and the staff there and visiting politicians were fuelled on booze. There'd be lunch drinks, after work drinks, in work receptions for visiting trade missions, embassy receptions/garden parties for various dignitaries. It's the same when you deal with politicians and their staff in the UK - loads of political party clubs around Westminster.
I strongly suspect we've seen a glimpse of their normal way of opearing, and they feel they are entitled to that (and may even not be able to distinguish it from the actual work itself. I'm not excusing it of course; just trying to understand why they've been so stupid). | |

I wonder if she will leave a forwarding address? |  |

Yeah, she wasn't public-facing or front of house - dealt with the running of the NHS behind the scenes. But then those parties at no.10 weren't hosting trade, Embassy or other official visitors either - they were purely for staff (+ maybe a family member, friend or 2). | |

I think it was a case of no pub to go to after work (lock down) so we'll make use of this garden instead.
Overseen by someone who has shown, throughout the pandemic, a total disregard for the rules - as he has done throughout his career.
He has got away with stuff before this because it was not in the public eye. It was seen by the gormless as him 'cocking a snook' at the liberals, the rule observers and those who recognise you have a wider responsibility than to just yourself
And as yo contrition, watch his behaviour towards Ian Blackford (elsewhere onm this thread). |  | | |

Well if the no.10 booze-ups were an alternative to "no pub to go to after work (lock down)", then that's a clear indication they were social, ie drinks parties, not work. | |

After what went down in that school hall, I should think probably not. |  |

Bonkers - Serial killers don't get to pick their investigator, judge and jury.
Whats your opinion of this Gray woman? Is there any hope that she can make this report decent or is that impossible? |  |
