In The Beginning, There Was Partygate, Now There’s Cakegate

Partygate chaos was exacerbated after Boris Johnson told allies there was no cake at his birthday gathering in No 10, despite ministers earlier acknowledging there had been.

Northern Ireland minister Conor Burns was previously mocked for declaring that the Prime Minister had been ambushed with a cake at a surprise birthday celebration in the Cabinet room on June 19 2020. At a time when all social events indoors were banned.

Other Cabinet members also acknowledged that cake was present at the event, while Downing Street didn’t refute the allegations.

Conor Burns has now told a Telegraph podcast that he was told under some authority, indeed for him, that there really wasn’t a cake.

The waters have been additionally muddied by the emergence of a news report from the day after the gathering, clarifying how Boris Johnson and colleagues tucked into cake.

No 10 said they couldn’t comment on whether or not there was cake until Sue Gray’s long-awaited report is published.

There are fears that could now be months away, as the police have insisted that it’s stripped of detail about incidents that are under criminal investigation.

A spokesman for Boris Johnson said: ‘So you will know what we said earlier this week on the matter, that a small number of staff briefly came into the Cabinet Room on the Prime Minister’s birthday.

‘Beyond that, I can’t comment further ahead of any conclusion of the investigation.’

He said: ‘As you’re aware there’s an independent investigation ongoing by Sue Gray in the Cabinet Office. I can only point you back to what we said earlier this week.’

An article from a newspaper outlet from June 2020, has resurfaced where it was reported the group tucked into a Union Jack cake at the gathering.

At the time, the newspaper said that Boris Johnson marked his 56th birthday with a smallish gathering in the Cabinet Room and that Rishi Sunak, the Chancellor, and a bunch of aides sang Happy Birthday before they tucked into a Union Jack cake.

Boris Johnson is destroying this country, and is there anything he won’t lie about?

He’s not fit to be a politician, let alone a Prime Minister, and how can Boris Johnson be entrusted with decisions like sending someone to war, he’s manifestly unfit to be in the position that he is.

If he’d just said sorry. That it was a slight error in judgment on day one, this would have all blown over by now, but instead, they engage a JCB to dig the hole deeper every time something new comes out.

And let’s face it, only a village idiot would ask people over during lockdown, but Boris Johnson thought it was a wonderful idea, and now he can’t even keep his lies straight, and they tell so many lies that it’s actually hard to keep track, even with a spreadsheet!

To be fair, none of these reports about Number 10, or horrible Conservative ministers doesn’t especially shock me, and numerous people have zilch respect for politicians now because they just play politics with people’s lives and don’t seem to care that their actions are damaging this once great country.

I’ve never voted Tory, nor would I ever do, especially after I’ve seen the wretched lot together led by a chief liar.

Essentially, they’re all starting to vanish up their own backsides as they aspire to come up with wimpy excuses like “ambushed by a cake”. But don’t fret, the masses will never forget when they go to the ballot box.
