Nicola Sturgeon’s SNP Will Spend £300,000 Removing The Bottoms Of School Doors

The SNP government has been criticised for a crackpot proposal to spend £300,000 trimming the bottom off classroom doors to lessen the spread of coronavirus.

Scottish Education Secretary Shirley-Anne Somerville said there were an estimated 2,000 classrooms with problematic ventilation where doors could be undercut to improve airflow.

The proposal is part of a £4.3 million package to tackle persistently elevated CO2 levels in certain rooms.

In a letter to Holyrood’s Education Committee, Shirley-Anne Somerville set out the projected expenditures to improve air quality, including £1.6 million on air filters, £2.4 million for mechanical fans and £300,000 for doors to be undercut to improve airflow.

She highlighted the costs, to be borne by an extra £5 million allocated for capital spending in schools, and that they would vary greatly in practice, but were based on councils calculates that between 2 per cent and 4 per cent of rooms have been found to be problematic spaces where CO2 levels were too high.

Ms Somerville’s letter says that based on informal local authority feedback, they expect that only a very small number of learning, teaching or play spaces would have persistently elevated CO2 levels, and it was said that Scottish Government guidance, based on the existing weight of expert advice, is that the primary focus of mitigating activity should be on regular CO2 monitoring and associated remedial measures to improve ventilation, ie. the introduction of fresh air into spaces.

And it was said that where this can’t be readily achieved, and the CO2 readings remain high, air cleaning/filtration devices may be used as temporary mitigation to decrease risks in problematic areas while more suitable, ventilation based solutions are implemented.

The informal local authority feedback revealed that about 2-4 per cent of spaces have so far fallen into that problematic category, with around 2,000 spaces out of 50,000 learning, teaching and play spaces across all local authority school and ELC settings.

Meghan Gallacher, the Scottish Tories Shadow Children’s Minister, told a newspaper outlet that if this issue wasn’t so serious, you’d be hard-pressed not to laugh at this crackpot SNP proposal, and she said that was sawing off the bottom of classroom doors seriously Scottish Government policy to tackle the ventilation problem in classrooms?

Scottish Liberal Democrats education spokesman Willie Rennie said that rather than putting an air filter in every classroom, the Education Secretary’s answer was to send in a handyman to chop up the classroom.

And most doors, including fire doors, already have clearance from the floor, so cutting an extra 20mm off the bottom serves no purpose whatsoever, and it would probably be more cost-effective and easier to just drill holes along the bottom of the door.

Better still, that’s if someone would use their brain. Why not just keep the doors open during lessons? Or we could just blow the bl–dy doors off.

But if Nicola Sturgeon is so intent on this, which breaches fire regulations, it might be smarter to just remove the doors intact for the time being, then rehang them when she gets a dose of reality from the insurers and fire department.

Once the handyman has cut the bottom of the doors, eventually COVID will vanish and the doors will have to be replaced, all at the taxpayer’s money may I add, and it will cost millions to replace them, and do Scottish schools not have windows they can open – let’s face it, it would make more sense.

Nicola Sturgeon always came across as being politically dangerous, but now, she’s literally dangerous!

For The First Time Ever, Facebook Loses Users

Facebook lost daily users for the first time in its 18 year history which CEO Mark Zuckerberg believes was caused by the TikTik boom.

Mark Zuckerberg said during an earnings call, according to a newspaper outlet that people have a ton of choices for how they want to spend their time, and apps like TikTok were developing extremely fast.

Facebook reported a decline of almost 500,000 in daily logins during the last three months of 2021.

Mark Zuckerberg reiterated that Meta, the company that owns Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp, was pushing hard to develop its short-form video Reels in an effort to compete with TikTok.

He added that this was why their emphasis on Reels was so significant over the long term.

Facebook, which now only has 1.93 billion users logging in each day, also saw its shares fall more than 20 per cent in extended trading on Wednesday after unexpectedly heavy spending on its Metaverse project led to a rare plunge in its fourth-quarter profit.

Meta saw its stock fall 22.6 per cent to $249.90 in after-hours trading, wiping about $200 billion off the company’s market value.

The company heavily invested in its Reality Labs segment, which includes its virtual reality headsets and augmented reality technology, during the final quarter of 2021, accounting for much of the profit decline.

According to Investopedia, Mark Zuckerberg, who’s worth around $107 billion, held more than 398 million shares of Meta at the end of 2020 and based on his reported holdings, the CEO personally experienced more than $29 billion loss when the company’s stock plunged on Wednesday.

Analysts allege investors had anticipated signs of declining user growth but were taken aback by the number of ad dollars the company lost in the wake of TikTok’s growth.

TikTok is dominating the short form user-generated video market, despite Meta offering its own Reels product on Instagram.

According to Bloomberg, data reveals the platform lost consumers to TikTok and saw lower income from ads destined for its short-form videos.

The figures, however, shouldn’t have blindsided investors as there have been repeated signs that Meta was trying to compete with the new video format.

Last summer, Instagram chief Adam Mosseri pushed the flatform’s focus to embrace videos instead of its usual emphasis on photo sharing, a move Mosseri said was inspired by TikTok’s growing popularity.

Mark Zuckerberg highlighted the move during Wednesday’s earnings call, reiterating that Instagram would continue to focus on Reels.

Facebook is full of ads and is set up for Facebook to make money, and it’s not a fun place to connect with friends anymore, and I find it ironic that there are people out there who think they can find friends by using a vehicle developed and managed by someone with all of his billions.

Nobody seems to live in the real world anymore, everything is virtual, filled with none real friends, and most people have been booted off the platform for not liking the right flavour ice cream, and most people end up in Facebook jail or being dogpiled by wokes.

It’s been ruined now. It was entertaining in the beginning and it was what it claimed to be, and it was a fantastic way to effortlessly keep in contact with friends and family from around the world, but not now!

And it also gets money from data. Data is a new manufacturing and can be sold on for a vast profit, and people still haven’t realised that in the United Kingdom, the government has sold all your GP and NHS data for millions to various drug and health companies, unless of course, you’ve opted out by filling in a form they just sell away. Although apparently it’s made anonymous, but with the incompetence of this government, who knows!

Families Brace For Rising Costs Of Living

Families will encounter a cost of living double whammy with an energy cap increase adding hundreds of pounds to bills alongside a new hike in interest rates.

Energy regulator Ofgem is bringing forward what’s expected to be a crippling rise in gas bills for millions of households from Monday to Thursday.

The new level will come into force in April, and the latest prediction is that it will be about £1,900 for an average household for at least six months, with possible additional increases thereafter.

And it would be a 49 per cent rise from the current price cap, which was already on a record high when it was fixed at £1,277 in October.

About 22 million households are presently believed to be on an energy deal that is linked to the price cap.

Many of these households will probably be put under major economic distress because of the price spike, which has been caused by a manifold increase in global gas prices.

Additionally, the Bank of England is widely expected to boost interest rates again on Thursday and more hikes are firmly on the cards as policymakers fight to cool zooming inflation.

Members of the nine-strong Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) are set to increase rates from 0.25 per cent to 0.5 per cent as the Bank’s quarterly set of forecasts is likely to show eye-watering inflation this spring.

It would mark the Bank’s first back to back increase since June 2004, coming after it lifted rates from 0.1 per cent to 0.25 per cent in December to try to rein in unbridled inflation.

It comes as Boris Johnson prepares to announce energy bill rebates worth billions of pounds to lessen the impact of soaring fuel prices, and he encountered accusations of hitting employees in the pocket at Prime Minister’s Questions today, with Labour accusing him of plotting stealth taxes with a National Insurance increase.

Opposition Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said that one of the most outrageous claims made on behalf of Operation Save Big Dog is the Prime Minister and Chancellor writing in the Sunday Times that they’re the tax-cutting Conservatives.

So, if this is the case who do these alleged tax-cutters keep increasing taxes on working people?

Energy price rises are expected to come alongside an overall spike in the cost of living across the United Kingdom.

Current figures from the Office of National Statistics reveal that inflation reached 5.4 per cent in the year to December.

If this scheme is the best the Tories can come up with, then we’re all doomed, and those who work but aren’t on earnings above benefit claiming level are going to be the worst hit, along with single households with a single income.

And for those who work or are pensioners on a basic pension with perhaps a tiny works pension, well, they will always suffer while our government keep thousands of migrants in the lap of luxury – all things paid for, and I have no idea how the elderly, disabled and impoverished of this country are going to cope with this inflation of prices, and Boris Johnson couldn’t care less because he’s only interested in his own pleasures.

Boris Johnson promised Brexit would mean cheaper energy. He also promised secure borders, and this has ended extremely badly for him, but they all tell people what they want to hear and they just believe it, but if a person is told enough times that it’s so, in the end, they will believe it, whether it’s true or not because as humans we can only see as far as the end of our nose.

Pregnant Women Being Asked If They’re Returning To Work Before Maternity Leave IS Discriminatory

And employment tribunal has ruled that asking a pregnant woman whether she’s coming back to work before she goes on maternity leave is discrimination.

Laura Jo Duffy, who worked as a PA at Barnet, Enfield & Haringey Mental Health NHS Trust in North London, successfully sued the health service after her boss nodded towards her belly while asking about her forthcoming plans.

A hearing in Watford was told that the NHS employee was also asked by a coworker if she’d informed managers she wouldn’t be returning after maternity leave, even though she’d never said what her intentions were.

The tribunal ruled this comment was based on a stereotypical assumption about new mothers not returning to employment.

Laura Jo Duffy, who was accused of planning her baby to achieve a promotion, is now in line for compensation after winning her claim of pregnancy discrimination.

At the time, Laura Jo Duffy was paid as a Band Four-level employee, meaning she earned up to £25,000 a year.

The NHS worker, whose pregnancy was deemed high risk, was told in August 2019 there was to be restructuring to the personal assistant team and bosses planned to automatically match her position to a new band five roles, where salaries are increased to up to £28,000.

The tribunal heard her coworker, fellow PA Joanne Cleasby, was annoyed about this because she believed it was unfair for Ms Duffy to be job matched when she herself was told she would have to apply to be promoted to a higher band.

The hearing was told Ms Cleasby wrongly thought Ms Duffy was receiving preferential treatment because she was pregnant, and complained to colleagues.

In its decision, the tribunal said that Ms Cleasby made two unwanted remarks related to Ms Duffy’s pregnancy, i.e., that she planned her pregnancy well and that she hadn’t told her boss that she wouldn’t be coming back after maternity leave.

And that the reason Ms Cleasby said those things was because she was vexed and resentful about what she perceived was Ms Duffy’s unfair preferential treatment.

The tribunal ruled the remarks were discriminatory because Ms Duffy’s pregnancy was a significant motivation behind them.

Employment Judge David Maxwell said that the question posed to Ms Duffy as to whether she had told her boss she wouldn’t be coming back after maternity leave was not based on anything Ms Duffy had said to Ms Cleasby about her intentions, instead, it involved a stereotypical assumption about new mothers not returning to work.

Surely the Health NHS Trust would have arranged to get temporary staff in to cover her maternity leave, so why would they need to know her plans after her baby was born? The baby hadn’t even been born yet, so this was just sour grapes from a colleague and the boss should have stamped it out. Instead, he just cost the Trust money and bad publicity.

The premise should be that people will return to work, comparable to when people are off work because they’re sick or on other leave such as bereavement, and it’s discrimination to be treated otherwise.

This isn’t fair to ask unless, of course, they ask every single member of staff what their intentions are going to be in six, nine or twelve months time, but of course, we don’t do that.

The big picture here is that it’s a totally unanswerable question, and there should be guidelines in place which cover any kind of long term leave.

A Police Guard Is Assigned To A 34-Year-Old French Journalist

A French reporter has been given police protection after fronting a documentary about the impact of radical Islam on an impoverished town in the north of the country.

Ophélie Meunier, 34, has received death threats in the wake of the documentary Zone Interdite, or ‘Restricted Zone – that aired in France on January 23 looking at the influence of hardline Islamic beliefs in the town of Roubaix, on the Belgian border.

Meunier discovered a restaurant where women were given cubicles to eat away from men, and a toy shop selling faceless dolls to comply with strict interpretations of Islam that prohibit showing facial features.

She also spoke to Amine Elbahi, 26, a Muslim lawyer from Roubaix who helped uncover the educational institution that received £53,000 of public money to teach poor children but was accused of spreading Islamic teachings instead.

Amine Elbahi spoke out against the influence of radical Islam in the film, and has now been branded an infidel and threatened with beheading. He’s also under police guard.

News that the pair have been threatened has provoked an outcry in France, where many feel the secularism on which the modern-day republic was founded is under threat from religious doctrines brought in by overseas migrants.

Emmanuel Macron, a middle-of-the-roader who’s gearing up to fight a presidential election in April where he’s likely to face off against a right-wing rival, has been accused of being too soft on immigration and of failing to protect French values.

Eric Zemmour, a far-right commentator and Emmanuel Macron rival who’s twice been convicted of hate crimes for statements about Islam, was quick to align himself with Meunier after it emerged she’d been threatened.

He tweeted, as the documentary started garnering awareness that Ophélie Meunier was in mortal danger, and that this was what happens when you show the French the Islamisation of the nation and that millions of patriots thanked her for her bravery.

In a clip shared on Zone Iterdite’s official Twitter page, an expert in radical Islam Professor Bernard Rougier holds the faceless dolls and teddy bears as he demonstrated that this was a way to show that from childhood you would be a better Muslim than others, and implies, others weren’t good or true Muslims.

And he said that it was the introduction of an ideological principle into the world of childhood and that it was particularly worrying.

This is an extremely courageous lady, but the situation is, a lot of people are too frightened to face and talk about radical Islam and how it’s being brought into our daily lives because people don’t want to be tarred with the racist tag or be cancelled, or even have to deal with the very real threat of forfeiting their lives by speaking about it.

And just to put things into perspective. Roubaix is just under 70 miles from Dover, and 154 miles from London. This is alarming.

Faceless dolls? How very morbid, but then I don’t suppose it’s any different from having faceless politicians, although some people might say that politicians aren’t faceless and that in fact, they generally have an extra one.

It’s bonkers that Muslim women aren’t permitted to show their faces, and this seems so outdated. Let’s face it, this is the 21st century, not the 14th century.

There’s no need to take any messages from any religion because religion doesn’t make you a better person. Just being a nice, polite, considerate and caring person is all that’s required.

And I actually don’t understand why people seek a better life in another country and then endeavour to transform their new country into the place they were fleeing from, it just doesn’t make any sense.

PPE Items Worth £2.7 Billion Ordered To Help NHS Staff Fight COVID Will Be Disposed Of

A minister has revealed that almost five billion items of NHS personal protective equipment worth £2.7 billion will go to waste.

Health minister Edward Argar revealed more than 36.4 billion items were ordered by the Government’s PPE programme since the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020, and he said, of this, about 3.4 billion units were now identified as possible surplus stock. The estimated price for those items was £2.2 billion.

He said, of the 36.4 billion items ordered, 6.96 billion of them weren’t currently provided to frontline services, and of those, 1.2 billion items were not deemed to be fit for use, and that the purchase price for those items was £458 million.

Mr Argar was responding to a question from Liberal Democrats chief whip and MP for North East Fife Wendy Chamberlain concerning PPE wastage.

The Liberal Democrats marked the Government’s use of public funds as extreme negligence on an industrial scale.

A Department of Health and Social Care representative told a newspaper outlet there was a range of measures for surplus PPE, such as selling and recycling, as well as plans to extend shelf life where appropriate.

He said a Department of Health and Social Care spokesperson told the Guardian that they were working tirelessly to deliver PPE to safeguard their health and social care staff on the frontline, with over 17.5 billion PPE items delivered so far.

And he said that where they have surplus stock of PPE, they have a range of measures they can take, including sales, donations, reuse and recycling or recovering costs from the supplier. In addition, they were working on plans to extend shelf life where applicable.

Wendy Chamberlain said that the waste of £2.7 billion was another series of damning failures for the government as it’s burning a hole in the pocket of the taxpayer, and she added that the government has misspent billions of pounds of public funds on vital PPE for frontline staff that’s either inadequate or will never be used and this was carelessness of the highest magnitude.

The government have shaken almost everything out of the public purse with little or no intention to replenish it, except by means of further taxation.

The public has paid and paid and will continue to be expected to pay and repay for decades, including for the fraudsters of the loan scheme, and Rishi Sunak must go!

The Tory party are the ones that will close down Parliament to evade scrutiny, award contracts to friends, family and donors without oversight and also protect liars to save their own seats, and now there will be billions wasted while they take from the most impoverished, most vulnerable and the elderly.

Still, at least the Prime Minister’s cronies got wealthy out of it!

I wonder if there’s any possibility of compensation?

How can they do this to hard-working people who don’t earn what these people do, it’s truly disgusting and why are they allowed to get away with it? And the government aren’t going to hold themselves accountable for this debacle because their philosophy is, well it’s not their money, so why should they care?

British taxpayers should get their money back because if it’s not fit for purpose, why should they pay for it? But it’s hey diddle diddle some MPs are still on the fiddle, with our money!

Instead of binning them, why don’t they just ship out what they can use to charities and hospices et cetera?

The Family Of A 16-Year-Old Girl Who Committed Suicide After Being Mercilessly Bullied

The family of a 16-year-old girl who killed herself after being mercilessly bullied have launched landmark legal action against her school and the police.

Lauren Lelonek died at home in 2016 following years of abuse, including three physical attacks and threats over social media.

In a claim submitted to the High Court, her parents accuse their daughter’s school of failing to take appropriate measures to protect Lauren from bullying and claim the police didn’t properly investigate.

It’s thought to be the first time such action has been taken against a UK school over a pupil’s suicide due to bullying.

The teenager’s parents, Sarah and Ian Lelonek said that their daughter Lauren was a kind, honest, caring and loving girl with a big heart, and that she was always putting others before herself, and that she was planning on going to college and training in hair and beauty, but all of that, all of her future was lost following a sustained campaign of bullying at her school.

The bullying of Lauren at the University of Chester Academy in Northwich, now called Rudheath Senior Academy and controlled by North West Academies Trust (NWAT), escalated from September 2015, the claim states.

Documents say she was repeatedly threatened with brutality and branded a grass after the first physical attack in October 2015 that was reported to Cheshire Police.

Lauren withdrew her complaint but she and a friend were attacked again that December and made the subjects of a Facebook post stating ‘snitches get stitches’.

Then the third attack in February 2016 saw Lauren lose chunks of hair, but according to the claim, the school told police they were happy to deal with the incident ‘in house’.

Lauren later messaged the friend, saying that she couldn’t remember the last time she was actually happy and that she didn’t know if she could carry on anymore.

Lauren’s family allege Cheshire Police were aware of a credible harassment claim but failed to properly investigate.

After the teenager’s demise, two girls, aged 17 and 18, were convicted of harassing Lauren for six months.

The case is being brought under the Human Rights Act, and Dan Rosenberg, a lawyer with Simpson Millar who represented a mother who sued the Government after her daughter attempted suicide when a school kept her in an isolation unit, said Lauren’s case was significantly different because their case didn’t concern the school’s responsibility for pupils behaviour.

A Cheshire Police spokesman said that their thoughts remain with Lauren’s family and all those who knew and loved her.

The school was in the wrong. They should’ve never dealt with in ‘in house’ and that was their biggest mistake. This was assault and bullying, and the oppressors should have been excluded the first time because this wasn’t just a playground spat.

This type of prosecution is long overdue so reality and legal force have to make the police and teachers take control against bullying.

Bullying is never taken seriously by schools and this is another beautiful life lost.

When a child is in school, the school is in loco parentis and it replaces the job of a parent and the parent isn’t in a position to protect their child while they’re in school.

Kids get bullied every day in schools and it’s time to get tougher on these oppressors.

This child must have felt so helpless, and the school and the police should have stepped in regardless of whether she dropped her accusations – she likely did this in fear of retaliation.

A Female Gardener Was Reprimanded By Prince Andrew For Wrongly Cutting Trees

Prince Andrew shouted at a female gardener over incorrectly cut trees just days after he was served with a sex case writ from Virginia Roberts.

Virginia Roberts claims in a civil suit that she was trafficked by paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein and forced to have sex with Andrew, 61, on three occasions when she was 17.

The gardener in question was allegedly flustered and upset by the outburst from the Duke.

A royal insider said it was unfair, especially as it was only a few saplings, and the insider told a newspaper outlet that Andrew had been under a great deal of pressure but that was no reason to take it out on staff doing their job.

The Prince allegedly flew into a frenzy, yelling and screaming in front of a crew of gardeners at Royal Lodge, on the Queen’s estate at Windsor.

It comes as a leading expert estimated Andrew faces a £14 million payout if he agrees to settle the US lawsuit.

Top US civil lawyer Spencer Kuvin, who represents several of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims, told a newspaper outlet that to punish someone worth a billion dollars you’ve got to hit them in their pockets and punish them accordingly.

Damages against Andrew could range in excess of £14 million quite easily.

Spencer Kuvin said that there are going to be huge legal hurdles in federal court before they will be able to even begin the process of litigating.

According to her lawyer, Virginia Roberts will only accept a settlement from Prince Andrew if it holds him to account. As he describes the Duke of York’s denial of ever meeting Virginia Roberts as incomprehensible.

David Boies, Virginia Roberts New York attorney, said Ms Roberts doesn’t want a settlement that would permit Andrew to escape responsibility due to his position and prosperity.

The lawyer also said that Virginia Roberts would also be unlikely to resolve the lawsuit outside of court if the Duke of York continued to deny meeting her, as he did in his famous BBC Newsnight interview.

Legal experts had predicted Andrew would pursue a settlement, but Andrew has taken the surprising decision to face his accuser in court and become the first member of the modern Royal Family to submit to being cross-examined over the serious allegations.

The lawsuit has come during the same year as the Queen’s platinum jubilee, and Mr Boies admitted that he did feel pain for Her Majesty that the legal action was being played out so publicly, describing it as a mother’s worst nightmare.

Sadly Andrew’s culmination of years of bad behaviour and a sense of great entitlement, he’s now reaping what he’s sown, and it’s about time he was brought down a peg or two because no one has the right to scream and offend others – he sounds like an extremely angry and frustrated man.

It really makes me wonder why these employees put up with it, and I wonder if any of the Royal staff have ever stood up to the royal toddler because, in normal life, nobody would put up with it, but just so much of it is swept under the rug.

The thing is, now Andrew isn’t worth that much money since he’s been stripped of everything, and it’s highly doubtful the Queen will bail him out, and if Andrew is such a connoisseur on cutting trees, why didn’t he do the gardening himself?

The problem is that for thousands of years, the monarchy has been telling people that the members of this one family are special and thus entitled to represent the nation as head of state without ever a single vote and to help themselves to our taxes, but now Andrew’s conduct has blown that stupid idea clean out of the water, and even some royal fans are realising they’ve been duped.

A Knifeman Stabs A Boy, 17, And A Man, 21

A 17-year-old man has been arrested after two men were killed and a third injured in a stabbing in Doncaster town centre in the early hours of Saturday morning.

South Yorkshire Police were summoned to the location near to a pub called ‘Biscuit Billy’s on Silver Street at 02:39, where a 21-year-old man was pronounced dead.

A 17-year-old and 18 year old were transported to the hospital, where the 17-year-old subsequently died.

The 18-year-old victim remains in hospital with minor injuries.

The 17-year-old man arrested by police remains in custody.

Police said that the brutality started after an altercation.

A Facebook post on a private group from a barmaid working locally suggested the incident occurred in the street as two groups of men attacked each other.

Doncaster District Commander, Temp Chief Superintendent Ian Proffitt said there will be an increased police presence in Doncaster town centre as a result of the continuing investigation, and he added that they know incidents like this can be truly disturbing for local communities, so if anyone has any concerns, then they should go and talk to their officers because they’re there to assist and help.

A police cordon is in position around the junction of Silver Street, High Street, Hall Gate and Cleveland Street.

Police are asking the public to avoid the area where possible, and are appealing for witnesses to come forward.

Detective Chief Inspector Mark Oughton, conducting the investigation said that they’re keen to hear from anyone who was in the town centre in the early hours of the morning who might have seen what occurred, and he said that if anyone was in the area at that time. If they witnessed what occurred or if they believe they may have mobile, CCTV or dashcam footage, then they should contact 101 quoting the incident number 135 of 29 January.

He said that any information, however small, could help them in bringing those responsible to justice. Alternatively, they could remain totally nameless by contacting the independent charity Crimestoppers through their website Crimestoppers-uk.org or by contacting their UK Contact Centre on 0800 555 111.

Doncaster like so many other locations used to be a safe and decent town – what went wrong?

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.
