It won’t be the electorate that consigns Boris to history.

His own “colleagues” will be watching with interest and judging whether he is both vulnerable and a liability.

Its the Tory way.

I think you are seeing a few chickens coming home to roost. 

 

Johnson is trusted by nobody. He’s surrounded himself with second division cabinet ministers and advisers, all in the name of getting Brexit done.

 

All of that leaves him friendless and unable to defend himself. He’s not Trump, we aren’t American. So just lying and ignoring the fall out isn’t going to work. The Tory party certainly won’t stand for it.

 

Next move, Cummings on the 26th May. Evidence to Parliament. Should be fun.

One of them is telling lies about the piles of bodies thing and if Cummings lies at the inquiry he could face porridge which he seems to be bobbaring himself about. So if Johnson maintains that he is truthful in that he didn't say it he should be asked if he will instruct the police to act should Cummings repeat the claim in a committee.

Get the🍿ready.

There are suggestions that Cummings might well have recordings that will verify any claims he makes. That will be interesting 

 

Two lying sociopaths going toe to toe. It would be entertaining if we weren’t talking about so many deaths, so much economic damage and so much public money syphoned off into the pockets of the over privileged

The front pages are interesting this morning.

He deserves everything he gets for giving an unelected man so much power.  Everyone could see it wouldn't last forever, and when it would turn sour it was obvious Cummings would dish the dirt.

Gove very much gave his all in defending him, unwise really. Its not the fact that he said it, its the fact that there has been thousands of deaths and Johnson lied when he said that he hadnt said it.

It was embarrassing to listen to Therese Coffey this morning in her attempts to back Johnson on his various problems.

Avoiding direct answers to direct questions just thickens the plot,and it is so obviously wrong to say that no one is interested in what was said by Johnson or how he financed the re decorations.

Did you see her? And to think Cameron had the nerve to criticise Corbyn for not wearing a 'syoot' properly. She looked like she'd just rolled out of bed.

 

Edit: I was wrong to say she looked like she'd rolled out of bed. I meant a skip.

He’s surrounded by people like that. Even worse is their lack of ability to do their jobs in a manner that is vaguely competent.

 

This is a properly second class cabinet, caused entirely by his insistence on it only containing Brexiters. The Tory party has haemorrhaged talent in the last couple of years and politics is all the worse for it.

Apparently BBC viewers are 'furious' with news reader Dan Walker because he asked question of government minister Therese Coffey about Johnson's flat refurb:

I think Boris is on borrowed time. His jolly bluffer act has run its course, and he is running out of friends. 

 

To pinch a quote from elsewhere - if Boris was assassinated on the floor of the chamber at PMQ's, there would be no witnesses.......................

They did the same thing yesterday when Louise Minchin had the audacity to ask Ben Wallace about Johnson’s dodgy finance arrangements .

 

Easy headlines. Create a few fake Twitter accounts. Pretend to be outraged. Pretend that’s news and stick it in the Express.

 

Well done for noticing though. I doubt that many people read that rag these days.
