    The relaunch of the Government off to a pretty rocky start with Johnson having to self isolate, him saying Scottish Devolution was a "disaster" and Matt Hancock in the firing line;-

    Interesting take by Johnson that Devolution was Blair's biggest mistake. It is possible to argue that WMD and the Invasion of Iraq might hold that accolade.

    When the enquiry into the handling of the pandemic is held, sometime around 2040 I would guess, this sort of thing should be a part of it;-

    Head of inquiry which found that Priti Patel had indulged in "behaviour that can be described as bullying" resigns after, surprise, surprise Johnson decides to take no action against her.

    He was right to resign as well.

    Priti Patel should have walked but at the very least Boris should have given her a final warning (and that is being charitable)

    He knows this, and I'm guessing has had enough anyways with Covid , Brexit , if there was an election now do you think he'd lose ?

    As it goes, I'm obviously replying after hes secured the UKs golden sunset future.

    No I dont think he'd lose but that would be due to the UK not having proportional representation in the electoral system.

    Boris is the most incompetent PM we've ever had, do you disagree?

    He lied to cause the question of Brexit. He lied when campaigning for it (after lying to himself he didn’t want it or did).
    He lied during negotiations. He lied when concluding it.

    Can you spot the theme or are you that unquestioning?

    Are you trying to make him out as some knight in shining armour or great statesman?

    Nope he's no knight in shining armour, and I think tye Brexit battles were brewing well before he tied his name to it , he simply grabbed the tail wind and used it as an opportunity to become PM , Its reported his ex wife was a driver for him to do this , before that he just wanted to stay in Europe and reform from within .

    Once he saw the effectiveness of Farage, Cummings and sniffed May and Cameron hesitation on the matter he grabbed the power opportunity, they had cleverly read the mood in Labour heartlands and used it wisely .

    We need to consider the voting platform this all came from such as the Brexit vote , Mays the remainer reduced seats , European Elections , and then Boris's crazy 80 seat majority win ,they all shocked and had the same message.

    You are right in saying that the EU question was always asked amongst the Tory party due to them having a cabal of right wing lunatics within it.

    Boris though evan as a journalist inflamed these views with his constant fibs in the Telegraph, funnily enough his motivation was to gratify himself.

    Indeed however it all started when Farage resigned for the Tories on 1990''s after the Tories signed up to Maastricht

    It's not just the public that receives his waffly bollocks. His MPs get it as well. Interesting that he is getting more negative press from core Conservative media though, in this instance the magazine of which he was previously Editor.

    Opting for a flower analogy, Johnson promised that things would be better, in terms of restrictions being eased, by the time tulip season was over – perhaps even by daffodil season. This led to MPs frantically googling floral seasons for a clue as to when restrictions would end (Tulips: early May). MPs then made the point that the dates of each season could vary depending where in the country you were.
