What a farce our politics has become. It has always had an element of the pantomime but it has become a bigger joke then ever. There are serious matters discussed and good work done but the headline weekly theatre of PMQ’s has under Johnson been a car crash. Yesterday he signed off, for what hopefully will be his last ever PMQ, saying he will leave with his “head held high” , a more deluded man you will never meet. He has not necessarily gone because of his policies, though they are reason enough, he has gone because even the Tory party could no longer stomach his behaviour. There are those who say he did a good job, that he “got Brexit done” (after all he one was one of the prime causes it happened), he saw us through the pandemic (not yet over) he has supported Ukraine. Any leader would have had to have dealt with all of those and frankly he did not handle any of it well. However his fitness for the job was seated in his unrelenting ability to embroil himself in scandal after scandal, he broke the law, more than once, he supported MP’s who had committed foul acts and of course he is and has been a serial liar! He has to go and be limited to the back benches and then hopefully his constituency will get rid of him at the next election.
He is going to be replaced with yet another Tory right wing leader and whilst they will endeavour to be scandal free (not one of them has a clean record) the policies will not change and the rich will get richer and those worst off in society will still be.
The is only one solution to this Tory rule of 12 years and we all know what it is. My concern is that the nation is so conservative centric that they will get in again.
Stay well
