When Boris said "take back control" we now know he meant centralising power in No 10. Power which has been abused and he doesn't care. Unfortunately, your story is repeated thousands of times across the country....which doesn't make it any easier. We are all paying the price physically, emotionally and financially for this government. People thought Thatcher was bad.
Whilst the Tories cabinets under Thatcher and Major also had their fair share of scandal, at least those caught up in it had the decency to resign (or be asked to). Today's incumbents just think their made of teflon, and their leader doesn't have the balls to sack them - that's what make it worse this time.
Forty 6ears ago, the Tory Foreign Secretary Lord Carrington resigned because the Falklands invasion by Argentina had happened on his watch. As far as I can remember, he had no part in the defence cuts made by the Thatcher Government which resulted in the downsizing of British forces in the south Atlantic that had prompted the invasion. There was some surprise that Carrington decided to resign, but, as it turned out, he was the last of the old school prepared to go even if he was not directly implicated in the decision that brought him down.
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?
If the majority of the British public have higher moral codes and values than Johnson and his cronies, then the Conservatives will lose out at the next general election.
I wont hold my breath.
It’s not just the lies on partying, it’s all the other lies. Summed up perfectly here in this video https://twitter.com/bydonkeys/status...--zUwUk73xh3EQ
The morning papers make for interesting reading. The Mail, Sun and Express toeing the party line. I prefer the Star's front page. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-the-papers-61088948
Grant Shapps nauseating defence.
These tories really have no morals.
Good link on there for finding out your local MP - only way they walk is internal pressure. https://twitter.com/VoxLibero/status...05517437104128
I think the British public look like mugs withstanding this rubbish, they must be laughing themselves to sleep in their penthouses. A lot of other countries wouldn't stand for shit like this
Shapps had no problem throwing Sean Bailey under the bus for his office party, maybe because he's black.

are they? that's a bit harsh. Maybe they just don't care enough because at this moment in time with some having to choose between food or warmth, whether the PM had a party with those he had meetings with earlier in the day probably isn't high on their thinking.
Boris and Rishi should still resign though.
the other point to consider is if Rishi and Boris do resign, Shapps and Patel would be the front runners![]()
Times have changed. There was a good documentary a few months back, 'the Brown and Blair Years', I think. We're not talking about ancient history here, but what struck me was just how grown up, convicted, serious, and generally statesman-like politicians of all parties seemed. I think life has become more trivial, more style and less substance, short attention-grabbing headlines and interviews. BJ is certainly part of that new breed.
