I do understand that office parties v running the country appears, by superficial analysis, out of all proportion.

But repeatedly lying to Parliament is not. Especially from the CEO of UK plc.

And while they were making whoopee, I was unable to see my own mum off. Those rules were made in the very house in which they were then broken.

Also, this is an attack on BJ, not the government who can freely carry on running the country. He goes, all 3 arms of government plod on.

Finally, the political wing of the executive is transient and must reflect the wishes of the public who are seriously f****d off. Brexit had a great deal to do with the disconnect between the masses and the Westminster elite. This government won a landslide being seen to reflect the will of the people expressed through the referendum. I think they feel very badly let down by all this as the government has been seen to revert to one rule for us, one for you.

Just how left wing is the Tory party when it can have an MP....an MP that went through all the selection processes....who can end up joining the ultra progressives in the Labour party.

That's a pretty damning indictment of those who selected this MP in the first place.

It's insane, Labour can't even call a woman a woman.

Could you imagine one of the progressives in Labour joining the Tories?

Not so sure. The only sliver of a chance that Johnson has is that he is a remarkably 'teflon' politician. He has got away with numerous scandals that would have killed almost every other politician stone dead. He has the 'magic sauce' as I have tediously called it on numerous occassions.

But now...

I have heard two women recently, both of whom have almost zero interest in politics but who both vote on every occassion they are able to do so saying how much they previously liked Johnson but now would never vote for him again.

He seems to have run out of lives.

Also, we need to understand that these parties were held at a time when the country had even more domestic restrictions placed on it than during WW2. Yes, then you had to worry about Germans dropping bombs on you but even then, statistically, you were probably as safe as you were prior to the war. And you would have lived in a society that was focused on social events. Clubs of every description, debating societies, all kinds going on. And you could still go to funerals and birthday parties.

Johnson is now toxic. He has to go. Who replaces him is in the lap of the Gods but the issue has to be that Johnson now lacks any kind of authority.

I have noted on a few radio phone-ins the individuals defending him are a certain demographic.

I give the guy one thing he must have mighty pheromones.

..and David Davis has caught him in a lie.

For me this is the most telling part...

..afterwards to the BBC's Carolyn Quinn, Mr Davis said he had supported Mr Johnson until his interview on Tuesday, when he said he had not been told a party in the Downing Street garden risked breaking Covid rules.

"Yesterday's interview was an attempt to escape responsibility, not to shoulder it. And that's a test of leadership for me."

He is 100% correct. This has to be the moment when people stop defending Johnson. It is simply unacceptable for the man who signs off on the rules to proclaim nobody told him what they were doing might be wrong.

This now goes beyond whether you are of the left or the right. This is about the catastrophic neglect of any kind of leadership responsibility from the man who has to show it the most. Utterly disgraceful.
