So there you have it - our defeat in North Shropshire was entirely the fault of the media for reporting all the things that actually happened instead of just reporting the propaganda we wanted them to. #ByeByeBorispic.twitter.com/MGosdoNYyv
— Parody Boris Johnson (@BorisJohnson_MP) December 17, 2021
I have just been listening to the Audio version of "All the Presidents Men" Bernstein and Woodwards famous story of their Watergate expose.
Now,Partygate is nothing like Watergate of course. Boris and Co are beginners compared with Nixons's merry men. But what is similar is the sheer cack handedness of those in power when faced with this sort of crisis.
You wonder how such men get in positions of power when they show such an incredible lack of foresight as to what problems their actions will cause.
I also feel that Boris Johnson and his men do share the same sense of entitlement that most of Nixons men felt. They thought they could get away with anything and increasingly so has the group (or at least some of them) around Boris.
I susect the Boris bubble has well and truly burst, and there will not be a way backfrom this. I forecast a tory leadership election sometime in the second quarter of next year (or even late in the first quarter).

pressure seems to be mounting on Boris
Have you seen Frost’s reasons for resigning? He’s practically saying Bozo is too left wing? These people are crackpots.
His opinions epitomise the sort of people who are so quick to accuse anyone who disagrees with them as being "snowflakes" and yet, consistently they're the ones who are the snowflakes, as I understand the term at least, because they start bleating on ridiculously about things like Nazi Germany or the "public health socialist state" when they don't get their own way.
Frost and his like can claim that they had the public with them when it came to Brexit, but they're miles off the mark when it comes to Covid where the public have tended to be more cautious than the UK Government.
Good riddance to him.
Newsnight was interesting on Friday where Nick Watt claimed that Simon Case's camp had been claiming that he told Johnson about the "party" he had been involved in before he was appointed to chair the inquiry into parties! I've not seen anything since then though to back that up, so maybe it's not true. Apparently, the civil servant who will hold the inquiry now has a fierce and independent reputation and so she may, possibly, report the truth no matter how painful it is for Johnson and his party, but, if that's not the case, then people will inevitably say it's a carve up.
Certainly seems feasible;-

Isn’t this cancel culture from the so called libertarians?

Lord Frost’s resignation has absolutely nothing to do with Covid or the entirely predictable failure of Johnson’s leadership. Like all the other shysters involved in Brexit, whenever reality gets involved and the project is exposed as the weird cult project of a handful of right wing loons they move quickly to distance themselves before they’re forced to own it.

Nadine Dorries being kicked out of the group after saying that nonsense is comedy gold
Why do you presume to know so much about me after a few posts on here over the years on politics.
I have stated in the past I am no a right wing tory ( despite Hilts calling me a right wing loon and comparing me to Tommy Robionson recently).
And I have already stated thatI would abstain in any election in the near future and that it would take a major improvement (which I believe highly unlikely) from him for me to vote for him adain
If Boris does go ( as I believe is inevitable) it would take the election of a suitable leader who performed well and that DOES NOT include people like Rabb and Patel who are both too right wing, but are both too mediocre to make successful leaders of a party let alone Prime Minister
I dont give a scoobies what you think when you are being so obtuse Sludge. I have pointed out countless times how Blair's and Brown's Labour had treated the vulnerable over DLA and ESA and you completely ignore it as it does not suit your agenda.
I know how I will vote, not you
Be as deluded as you like.
You're right about Blair and Brown, in the first two or three years after being elected they most certainly continued the tight spending plans which left little scope for increases in benefits. Sludge isn't a Blairite, i don't think, yet he calls for the abolishment of the Labour Party and some kind of odd coalition with the Liberals in order to give the electorate a chance of overthrowing the Tories. You make sense of that if you can.
Get the popcorn ready. This is going to run and run. Poor Allegra was only in the job a few weeks. A few practice interviews, her role is axed and she's moved to covering COP 26. Her answers to questions about his love child(ren) and mistresses will be captivating. I wonder if Carrie got a little jealous of Boris' new mouthpiece?
