Brandon Lewis Scramble At Chequers

[needawin]

Am I imaging things or did Brandon Lewis scramble hurriedly to slip something to Boris.
When Boris's entourage arrived at his luxury retreat after being released from hospital there was a bit of a melee between press, bodyguards et al.
Brandon Lewis frantically scrambled to get ahead of the pack and after, on the steps, getting within "kissing distance" of the PM, appeared to pass or to place something in his (PM's ) pocket. Would love to see the newsreel again to see and wonder was I right and what was so important that he got it.

retro.....I was there to investigate a complaint made personally by Thatcher...nothing to do with police/crime etc....more a "domestic" issue.

[needawin]

There were 3 or 4 official cars. Also about 6 press photographers who with protection etc made up the crowd. Lewis was seen exiting a car and pushing forward quickly to get to the PM on the steps .
May have been Skynews as I watch it also.

If it was sky-news then you will be able to watch it another 47 times today.

I’m beginning to think you’re imagining things.

Definitely saw it. Even remarked to the wife at the time wondering what was the urgency to give him something before he closed the door.

[Hopkirk]

Probably returning the fiver he owed him.

the press didn't even get within viewing range of the house, never mind the front steps.

As the P.M. has passed the critical stage and is recuperating at Chequers Brandon grabs his biscuits back as they obviously worked.

I have stopped watching the James Bond 007 films now , It's better reading Retros exciting Daring Real Life Stories.

Thanks Gullible,
Glad you are enjoying my real life experiences. It passes your time,I suppose ,as I assume all the little boys you enjoy playing with are now in lockdown and you must be bored in your village.
Want to buy a Commemoration gift handed to me by Diana, Princess of Wales.I have no need for it as it belongs to a mug.

That footage is not the one I saw.
And his fiancé was not with him when they arrived.
There were at least 4 cars.

[needawin]

If it helps at all. There were about 3 steps up to the door. Two large black double doors.
