If you keep your mouth shut you can't put your foot in it.

I would like a link from the OP so I know we are discussing the same thing.

[gness]

The same thing, Tora? There's more?! Link?

[ToraToraTora]

yes I would like a link from the OP not a well meaning helper.

[Neveracrossword]

TTT, the story- quite a large piece - was in Saturday's Times. They have a paywall, so that link isn't available.

[ToraToraTora]

I would like to see the source that gulliver is referring to.

Like the links you always give us to your weekly J Arthur-fear after PMQ’s, that sort of link, yes?

Downing St interfering with authors of reports and publications?
Who’d have thought??

[FatticusInch]

Social media blew up over the weekend about the story disappearing off the radar after it was firs speculated.
Seems the supposition and implication is well-grounded.
Just ask Jennifer Arcuri.

Fest not fear @ 17.31.

I guess it wouldn’t be a Monday though without the usual ‘what the funk has he done this time’ cry from the party and cabinet as they are distracted from governing whilst fire-fighting another furore on his behalf.

Operation Save Big Dog, The Never-Ending Saga must be becoming like Groundhog Day for them.

I suppose the journalist can think himself lucky, in light of what the PM was prepared to do for his old chum Darius Guppy?
Why does controversy follow this cretin around like a bad smell?

[sandra4444]

Anyone know if Boris is back from Ukraine,or is he having 2 sleepovers?

[gulliver1]

So Boris was giving Jennifer Arcuri tax payers money when he was Mayor of London and trying to give Carrie Tax payers money when he was foreign Sec.
What were they giving Boris in return ??

[sandra4444]

And we still don't know how much Matt Hancock got his grubby little hands on, or what he gave his fancy bit. We know what he gave her in the passage way.

[douglas9401]

Something quite taxing on a man of his heft.

[gulliver1]

Poor Boris with all his expensive education he still can't count he only wanted to give these two ladies One.... But ended up giving miss Arcuri £26,000 and tried to give Carrie £100.000

"yes I would like a link from the OP not a well meaning helper."

I'm sure you would but luckily, we don't have to play by your rules.

You have been given two different links so why not stop acting the fool and read them?

//he only wanted to give these two ladies One...//

Is gulliver an 11 year old boy?
