I think this sums it up well:

"The most shocking thing about the rumours surrounding Boris Johnson getting his hairdresser pregnant is the revelation that Boris Johnson has a hairdresser." =))

Perhaps she was trying to do his hair as he was doing her? :-? :))

Wasn’t sure whether to put it here or sick joke thread :-o

Apparently, BloJo wasn't 'aware' of Pincher's proclivities for manhandling.

WTF did BJ imagine Pincher did to attract partners?


Tweet from Dominic Cummings:-
If BJ didn't know about Pincher as he's claiming, why did he repeatedly refer to him laughingly in no10 as 'pincher by name and pincher by nature' long before appointing him...?

Is that in addition to the Nightingale hospitals?

A certain staff officer at 1Gp whose sole purpose was to look after Eyes Only mail that his boss's primary deputy, a USAF officer, was not allowed to. His name was Dimmer.

So Boris lied again, this time regarding knowing The Pincher's record of sexual shenanigans when pissed. Why is one not surprised. The man Boris is a walking sackload of lies, only loosely tied up at the neck with a strap marked "BBC".

With Pincher caught a second time, why lie about the PM not knowing the first time when there is a formal record of same? Nevermind that any PM will will get a briefing on someone's past before appointing them, as does any boss in the entire country before appointing someone who will be in the public eye? It's the incompetence of the lying that's the real problem, not that politicians lie, because everyone has known the latter since the beginning of time. Boris is now lying as his first option, and that means he's not living in the real world. Or does it mean he doesn't care a jot about anything except the Tory Party mechanism for removing him, which he knows currently can't touch him?

#10 is now claiming the PM forgot about the warning.
Has that any credibility at all, with anyone?
Or does he get so many warnings about prospective Tory Ministers' sexual misbehaviours than one gets lost in the crowd?

Reminds me of that old question:

Is Muffin the Mule
(a) a 1950s children's TV show
(b) illegal
(c) disgusting
(d) Just the sort of thing you'd expect a Tory MP to be caught doing?

I have a suspicion that was in Private Eye.

However, I think Rishi and Sajid have just answered the original question.

I'm guessing that most here don't follow current affairs in the land of Nog, so I'll clue you all in.

Yesterday the Norwegian offshore workers union commenced a strike for more pay. It has been predicted that by the end of this week up to 50% of Norway's gas exports to the UK will be cut. Another couple of weeks and it might all be cut off altogether.

Norway is the most significant exporter of gas to the UK, so it's a non-trivial matter. OK, it's summertime right now, but if this were to have happened next winter things would get a bit dark and cold in the UK quite quickly.

Where are the big boobed ladies running around in the clip? Probably quite appropriate to have some sex in the current disaster movie, or maybe we should have lots of young conservative men running around in their shreddies?

Yup, I saw that UP.

In longer term news out this week.
The US is forecasting field crop production to be down 1% this year. The Canadians are forecasting exports to drop by 40% (partly less planted, mostly drought and/or flooding on the Prairies)
There is considerable climatic evidence that the US is being unrealistic in its production forecasts (comparing regions either side of the Prairie border.

So, energy down, food down.
