Michael Fabricant wades into ‘Carriegate’ and gets left at sea

#Boris enquired whether a highly qualified person, his wife Carrie, could be Chief of Staff at the FCDO as she had held a similar post elsewhere.
He was told No.
So she wasn’t appointed.
Errrrrr. That’s it. https://t.co/gtVswTPXJx

Such a non-story that Johnson phoned in from Ukraine to dramatically pull it…

Michael:

1. She wasn’t his wife at the time; they were in a clandestine relationship

2. His wife at the time (Marina Wheeler) was undergoing treatment for cancer

3. Johnson’s aides were so concerned they threatened to resign

4. You’ve just confirmed a story the Times spiked

Thanks for confirming the story Mr Fabricant. By the way he had a different wife at that time, but thanks anyway. https://t.co/K6N1E2TOVp

1. His mistress, not his wife.
2. Staff intervened, he did not ask for advice
3. He was caught on the job in the House of Commons
4. He phoned in from Ukraine of all places to block the story

So your tweet is incorrect at best Michael.

•She wasn't his wife. His wife was the one in hospital with cancer.
•She wasn't highly qualified.
•It was clearly more than an innocent "inquiry".

But apart from that, top job, Accuracy Man.

Thank god for Michael Fabricant. His sole purpose is to serves as a constant reminder of just how hard and far the Conservative Party have fallen. 👇 pic.twitter.com/7JGoOzD7Yn

Except she wasn't his wife at the time was she??? He was cheating on his wife who was dying of cancer at the time – with guess who? That's right – the said #PrincessNutNuts@Mike_Fabricant do you really think the rest of us are as stupid and gullible as the average Tory MP? https://t.co/AKozKCJZOV
