Since then, Conservative and Labour Cabinet members have had to be dragged out kicking and screaming from the office s of state they occupied, but I’ve never come across what you, as the great whatabouter, appear to be arguing here - I.e. that Johnson should stay because what he has done wrong is not the worst instance of Covid law breaking ny a UK politician - it seems you think things have sunk so low that he shouldn’t go unless he can top what that “silly SNP woman” did.
I presume your take on yesterday’s events was an attempt at humour?
