Rights groups had called for a halt to the execution, saying that he was tortured into a confession.

Presume the other person on the conversation is Cummings. Obviously we're only seeing what he wants us to see but this is at all representative it doesn't give the impression of the PM being in control of things, more just going along with what he's told.
Should this type of thing be discussed on WhatsApp, is their security up to the job?

Its end to end encryption. I’d guess the reason they had a fit over GCHQ not accessing private data a while ago was because WhatsApp was still secure. My understanding was not as secure as Telegram or some others but not sure.
That said it’s all gone quiet on Patels drive to access all your information “because terrorists and pedos” so maybe they’ve quietly cracked it.

Has it? Sure I read the other day that WhatsApp/Facebook are still arguing with the Government about it.

Oh really? Then in that case it’s probably still safe. Well as safe as any Zukerberg company is with your data.

Why didn't Johnson sack him?
Apart from the obvious, which is he's even more useless than Hancock.
And what malevolent little fucker Cummings is!

It's the incompetence that gets me. Totally dysfunctional

Three Bellends pub renamed The Two Helmets in a fresh dig at the Tories
Dan Davies changed the name of his New Brighton pub last year in anger at the government's pandemic response and has renamed it again in a further slightly-rude protest

He needs people like Hancock around him. It’s his best hope for looking like he’s got any competence himself.
Yep plus someone to act as fall guy.
Sack Hancock and say 'it was all his fault, everything else we did was brilliant, we've sacked him now so we've dealt with it. No more questions about our pandemic response'.

Not that many years ago you’d ask who the biggest idiot is. The idiot or the idiot that surrounds himself with idiots. I’m struggling to think of a minister in my lifetime who’s worse than anyone of the current cabinet. John Redwood maybe, David Mellor? Other than them 2 I’m struggling. It’s not just the incompetence it’s the lack of any integrity.

Gavin Williamson is easily the most incompetent of those holding dept briefs.

What rattles me most about GW is that he talks like he’s been trained in toff, but occasionally the mask slips and he sounds like he’s from deepest darkest Dudley.

I think that’s deliberate to be more ‘down with the plebs’, like Gideon’s fake guttural stops

You assume the Tories want to improve state education. Why would they do something that reduces the value of their investments in private?

The DUP is in chaos. I think it’s dawning on them the magnitude of what backing Brexit and then putting their faith in Boris has done. The end is nigh for Northern Ireland and they did more to deliver it than the Republicans could ever have personally dreamed of achieving.

Martin Sheen to play him in a film - The Damned United Ireland
Although I reject the narrative that he resigned after 21 days. That is false evidence put there by the devil and he did in fact resign after 25 minutes.

Not a great result for Labour either. If the Libs can give the government a bloody nose why can't they?
A bad result in Bately and Starmer must be under severe pressure surely?

I think here in this particular constituency, there has been some heavy tactical voting that has suppressed the Labour vote, as well as there being some big local issues in play here (HS2) but it’s still a hell of a result.
If Labour had any sense they’d have struck a deal with this seat and Batley and Spen to divert support accordingly to beat the Tories.

Lib Dem hippie yoga master leader says it ‘sends a shockwave’. Not really, seems pretty clear that there is a political realignment in progress where the Tories are happy to drop leafy suburbs
