Was listening to a podcast and Kevin bridges mentioned that the two of them went to see Celtic vs Falkirk, just as the game was about to kickoff Frankie said to him, " the people of Falkirk are now going to get a 90-minute crash course in Irish history."

Loved that

Looked a bit watery to me to be honest.

It’s completely indefensible and they all know it so be suicide to go out and bat for it. That lady’s reaction 12 months ago is actually pretty understandable, I mean what the fuck could you say to that.

Is the Bathgate joke on it? The most Scottish thing he’s seen was some drunkard pissing up against a doorway and when he was done, took out his keys and went in.

Exactly this. He barely broke even. Rayner must be sitting there fuming.

Frankie is too political and too moral and too angry and too funny for lads here.

They prefer their comedians to be apolitical, unfunny I’m Alright Jacks.

Boris Johnson Exit Date: Bettors backing early departure amid fury over Christmas party

Boris Johnson is a 46% chance to be gone by next year’s Conservative conference

The odds on Boris Johnson leaving office imminently tumbled after footage showed his aides laughing about a Christmas party in lockdown last December. Max Liu has the latest on the betting…

The Prime Minister’s leaving party - or just ‘a business meeting with cheese and wine’ perhaps - is now closer than ever, according to Betfair Exchange punters.

On the Sportsbook the odds on Boris Johnson leaving office this year were slashed from 149/1 to 7/1 after Number Ten was rocked last night when footage emerged of Boris Johnson’s aides laughing about a Christmas party during Covid restrictions last December.

They had earlier denied that such a party took place.

On the Exchange, Johnson is 2.82 to leave his role as prime minister in 2022 and only 2.18 to still be in charge when the Conservative conference takes place next autumn.

The footage was greeted by outrage on social media as members of the public contrasted their experiences at the height of the pandemic with government aides’ laughing.

This morning the health secretary Sajid Javid cancelled his interviews as the government closed ranks and tried to come up with a response.

Commentators have compared the incident to Johnson’s then special adviser Dominic Cummings’ infamous drive to Barnard Castle during the first lockdown of spring 2020 which saw the government’s popularity plummet and ultimately lead to Cummings’ departure from government.

Others called for the prime minister to resign.

This government has been able to brush of other scandals but the level of fury that is palpable over the Christmas party has made opponents optimistic that it could prove a tipping point with the electorate.

The Conservatives have a commanding majority in parliament but they are 2.56 to win another at the next general election.

They are 1.76 to win next Thursday’s (16 December) by-election in North Shropshire - a traditonally safe Tory seat - while the Liberal Democrats 2.3 appear to be gaining support there.

@Lazarus confusing what he wants to happen with what’s going to happen. Again.

@balbec with his big ostrich head buried in the sand. Again

Adios Allegra

A scapegoat is part 1 of the plan.

Had she not moved on already?
