It goes without saying that I will be “over the moon” once Johnston finally realises he cannot remain as PM but we must temper our delight because the Tories will still be in power and there is not a single one of them that is fit to be the next leader, never mind PM! Every single member of Parliament under Boris is tainted with the stain of his time in office. Let us be clear the vast majority of them supported him through scandal after corruption after lie. None of them can use the word “integrity” without shame! The current avalanche of resignations are merely to disassociate themselves from a PM whose time is up! That he should have resigned months ago is now a mute point but few of them resigned along the way even though Johnson had committed so many crimes and told so many lies.
He claims he has a mandate from the people. The truth is that he only has a slim majority in his constituency and that almost 65% of them did not vote at all. His leadership was only possible because they voted him as an MP and not by much.
This whole fiasco is amusing and tragic in equal measure. No matter how amusing, this is the governing of our country and it was already a disaster, what word would you use to describe it now?
This the end of Johnston and it was always going to be in the most ignominious of circumstances, though none of realised it would end without anyone left to actually govern?
We will have days and weeks of this farce as the Tory party unravels and the infighting gets worse. Surely a General Election has to be called, the people deserve to choose the next government, it certainly could not be any worse than what we have suffered for the last 12 years!
No doubt the money men have leaned on him and the real power has told him he will have to go, good riddance!
Stay well
