British Government’s staff parties under watch

Published

on

An official investigation into British government staff parties will look at three separate events that allegedly took place in 2020

Parties at Downing Street and the education department between the 27th November and the 18th of December will be the focus of the examination to see if any Covid rules were broken.

The British Paymaster General says any criminal activity uncovered may be reported to police.

This comes as the opposition Labour party calls for Prime Minister Boris Johnson to resign if it is found that he has misled MPs about the alleged parties.

Johnson announced on Wednesday that the inquiry will be carried out by top civil servant, Simon Case.

The alleged parties were brought to the world’s attention after video emerged of government staff joking about an event that took place at Downing Street… a day on which more than 400 Covid deaths were reported.

Is this the next James Bond?

Published

on

In a huge shift for the iconic James Bond franchise, reports indicate that British actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson has been formally extended an offer to step into the coveted role, succeeding Daniel Craig.

The revelation, as per The Sun, comes amid much anticipation surrounding the future of the long-standing spy thriller series.

Eon Productions, the entity behind the Bond films, appears poised to commence production this year, with Taylor-Johnson seemingly primed to don the mantle of 007.

Sources close to the production suggest that the formal offer has been made, awaiting Taylor-Johnson’s response.

“Should he wish to accept it, Bond is Aaron’s job,” an insider remarked.

The last James Bond actor, Daniel Craig.

“The formal offer is on the table, and they are waiting to hear back. As far as Eon is concerned, Aaron is going to sign his contract in the coming days, and they can start preparing for the big announcement.”

This development follows a period of speculation regarding who would inherit the role, with Taylor-Johnson emerging as a contender alongside other notable actors such as Cillian Murphy, Idris Elba, Henry Cavill, and James Norton.

In response to inquiries about his potential involvement, Taylor-Johnson expressed gratitude, stating, “I find it charming and wonderful that people see me in that role. I take it as a great compliment.”

Best Supporting Actor

The actor’s journey to the cusp of the Bond franchise has been marked by a diverse array of roles, including notable performances in films like “Nocturnal Animals,” for which he received a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor.

Insiders cite this as evidence of Taylor-Johnson’s suitability for the role, asserting that his talent and range make him an ideal successor to Craig’s portrayal.

Daniel Craig, who portrayed Bond across five films, bid farewell to the character following the release of 2021’s “No Time To Die,” a film that concluded with a dramatic finale, leaving the fate of 007 ambiguous.

With Aaron Taylor-Johnson potentially stepping into the iconic role, fans await eagerly for further developments as the next chapter of the Bond saga begins to take shape.
