Edit: Adding in his Radio 4 interview:
"McDonald said he knew that Boris Johnson had been told at the time about the complaint about Chris Pincher’s conduct in 2019 as a Foreign Office minister. He said:
I briefed the relevant senior official in the Cabinet Office. You will understand that such complaints about ministers are very rare, very sensitive, they are dealt with at the very top level. And so I had the help and support of the Cabinet Office through the investigation.
I know that the senior official briefed the prime minister in person because that official told me so at the time.
He said that he decided to speak out because he knew what No 10 was saying was wrong. He explained:
It is very unusual for a retired official to do what I have done this morning. I did it by myself, because what I have seen and read over the last few days I knew to be wrong. And you know, things get to a point where you have to do the right thing.
First of all, Number 10 have had five full days to get the story correct and that has still not happened.
And second, I do not approve of anonymous briefings behind the scenes. If I was to do this, I should put my name to it rather than just phone a journalist and tip them off" [Post edited 5 Jul 2022 10:23]

I always think that "This One" will be the scandal that does for Johnson
Every bloody time
Surely one day his luck will run out.
In the meantime, Raab and the throbbing vein in his forehead were sent out to defend the indefensible on this morning's media round...... some geezer reckoned he could actually hear the vein throbbing on his DAB radio. |  | | |

That’s really interesting EG. Thanks. That’s crystal clear.
Johnson’s response will be interesting. Perhaps he will put his hand up, say yep, I got it wrong so I resign. Maybe hell will freeze over. |  | | |

Someone will be workshopping a Barnard Castle level excuse in No.10 right now... | | | |

I wonder how long they can keep trotting out ministers to parrot the party line on national TV only for it to be completely exposed a day later. I guess they would need some sense of shame and integrity to actually care about being taken for mugs so the status quo will continue. |  | | |

Interesting that bonehead Raaaaab was wheeled out. Sense of shame and integrity? They’d need a weekend at Chequers to have it explained what those things meant
Like the one they had in 2018 when the Customs Union/Single Market was explained to them. | | | |

johnson is a incompetent who has surrounded himself with incompetents. they are astonishingly third rate and the tory back benchers need to do the decent thing now and bring this to an end. you can disagree with every bit of his politics but it is still mind boggling that such an historic parliamentary majority has been squandered in this manner.

On a side note, BBC must know by now that they’re pretty much running comms for the cabinet and the Tory party. As a public service broadcaster, they need to get out of that spin cycle. |  |

I honestly can’t see how he can make it to the weekend.
I’d like to see the Military three of Elwood, Mercer and Tugendhat fulfil the old role of the men in grey suits and tell him his time is done. |  |

They've gone with the defence of "Johnson forgot he was told"
And then Peter Bone made things worse by saying the public don't care about sexual assault, but more about a tax cut. A 'cut' that isn't really a cut as it is more than it was put up 3 months ago.
And then Fabricant said maybe Pincher could be seen as the victim [Post edited 5 Jul 2022 13:22]

I'm not usually one for radio phone-ins, but this is quite an incredible conversation (not least because O'brien lets him do all the talking!). Presumably this is a pretty popular view amongst the CS these days.

a tory government that can't negotiate its way past someone junior getting pissed in the carlton club doesn't deserve to last even that long. | |

The man who didn't have a clue about the importance of the Calais/Dover crossing to UK trade. He should have been removed from government there and then, but here he still helping govern us into the ground. | | | |

Staggering to think that Pinchergate, Treehousegate, Carriegate, Blowjobgate, plus the two awful by-election defeats all happened in just the last two weeks.
He'll be desperate to cling on until the summer recess though. | |

There are quite a few openly dissenting voices from his MPs now. Like this dude from cream tea country. But then every time you think he must go, he doesn’t. So god knows how long this is going to go on for.
