Does anyone know what the travel status is regarding Greece at the moment? Do you have to quarantine on return?

Not difficult to find out Piha, but why post in this thread?

Asking for a 'friend'.

I was thinking of going to Scotland but I feel there is an apparent threat to safety so I thought Greece might be a better shout.

Was the Scottish camping trip a bit of a fraud?

Does it matter if it was?
There's also one comparing the images supposedly taken in Scotland and ones taken a couple of months ago, suggesting that the Johnson infant has got strangely younger...

He rented a cottage, put a tent up. No one said he slept in it, or if it was for sleeping in, for how long it was up, who used it nor anything else. Talk of 'shadow length, baby age and paunch size' is moving seriously into obsessive compulsive Nat wibble territory. It's a bit desperate.

I think it's a bit desperate that the tories need to spin an alleged pack of lies over where one of their lot go on holiday. If it is a security risk or an alleged pack of lies then why didn't they just say nothing about the holiday destination?

The idea that the Downing Street continuous campaign machine wouldn't use the PM's holiday for getting some mileage is ridiculous. Of course they would.

Scotland is proving troublesome and is currently well on the road to telling the Union to naff off. "I've a great idea, go on Holiday to Scotland to show how much you love and value the place."

Economic strife is on the way and people are about to feel the pinch of Covid and Brexit. "Go on a cheapy staycation and put up a tent. Show how one is down with the common people."

Everything about it was stage-managed, but honestly, who cares? It is ridiculous that they will use their time and energies on stuff like this rather than on the important stuff, but that is what they do. No point getting bent out of shape over it.

Twitter is a convenient way for fruitloops to shout at the wind without bothering the rest of us - best leave them to it.

A surprisingly large percentage the population will greedily lap it up and it will add further tint to their already blue tinted spectacles.

Yep. They will indeed. It has always been thus. No point the rest of us getting annoyed about it though, there is so much about this Government that is so awful that this hardly registers on the radar though!

Business insider reports Cummings father in law saying Boris will resign in 6 months due to health problems. Do you reckon Cummings has let Boris know yet ?

That wouldn't surprise me.

He's not been see that much since getting Covid, has had a holiday....new kid etc.

I suspect he'll feel he needs to see the transition period through, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if he retires not long after that.

Problem is, who takes over....

If it happens (which I doubt, Boris seems to be quite happy delegating) my guess would be Sunak, but who knows. Can't see it being Gove or Hunt.

Then we'll have all those Gordon Brown voters and the Braveheart lot clamouring for another GE.

Dom must be tempted to appoint himself, just for the fun of watching the faithful tie themselves up in knots about why it's a good thing really and how they never liked the idea of an elected PM biggrin

I've always felt a change of PM should force a GE. I'm a Labour member and I said this when Brown took over from Blair. Reasoning being that a leader is much stronger if they have a cast-iron mandate of their leadership from the wider country. They are more at liberty to take their govt "their own way" if they've won a GE.

The Tory membership (much smaller than the Labour one) would only get a choice of two candidates since the parliamentary Tory party get to whittle the choice down to 2 before the party membership get their say.

It's an interesting one for sure. Would the MPs put up Sunak (who has little experience but plenty of stage skill) because he's well-liked, or would they take the opportunity to put up someone with more experience since they wouldn't need to win the wider popularity contest of a GE?

All completely hypothetical of course. I don't personally believe we will see Johnson step down after 6 months.

I would expect Daemonic Cummings would approve Patel as PM. Although Gove has always had his eye on the top job.

However, I would think that Mark Francios would be the person that the Party would vote for. He seems to reflect the general mood and desires of tory supporters the best. Is he in favour with Daemonic Cummings?
