What does NDA mean on the Boris Johnson one?

Also great to see Amber Rudd on there, shame that won’t be enough to get rid of her though.

Basically cheated on his wife (again; surely at this point they have an open marriage) and made whoever it was sign a Non Disclosure Agreement promising not to talk about it in exchange for, oh I dunno, MONEY.

The Amber Rudd one is a total non story though. Neither she nor Kwasi Kwarteng are married so it's not like they're having an affair. As long as they aren't having cocaine fueled strawberry float sessions in the corridors of Parliament then who cares.

Agreed, I don’t like Amber Rudd but she’s not done anything wrong there unless there’s more to it.

There's a joke here somewhere about Brussels, Juncker, drunks, Westminster, prozzers, ugos, and bureaucrats pissing our money away...but it's too early to comprise it into a coherent sentence so do it yourself.

Well yeah I agree with that. I'm just more disappointed she hasn't done something sackable.

I assume Michael Ellis is married otherwise who cares if he's taking his personal trainer to the cinema. Sometimes even if they are having an affair it's not really our business. It's a personal matter.

The Tories like to harp on about family values though so having an extra marital affair is a big thing.


Gavin Williamson named as new Defence Secretary. He's not on the blackmail list, but as Chief Whip he was probably the one actually using it.

With such a weak leader in charge, it is just lucky that there are not really important negotiations going on that will impact the entire future of this country.

Oh wait…

If there was ANYONE to replace May at any other time in recent history (as in the last 30 years) she would have gone by now. But there isn't, so they're just lumbering along.

A conspiracy theorist would look at this - and on the Mail some readers appear to truly believe this - as a big set-up by the political elites to kill Hard Brexit and undermine the will of the people.

If it’s the British version then I am looking forward to Williamson taking on the King in a few years

If it’s the American version then I am looking forward to Parliament being cancelled when Williamson is outed as an abuser in a few years.

Daily Mail readers really are the dumbest bunch of banana splits in the world.
