A career-threatening situation demands another distraction!

Does Johnson know anyone with contacts in Russia who can persuade Putin to ramp up the pressure in Ukraine? Failing that, perhaps pick a fight with the EU and trigger Article 16?

In the midst of either situation, the investigation may report back but won't get so much attention. And he could then argue that now is not the time to disrupt government by steeping down whilst such a situation is happening, and make a vague, waffly promise to seriously consider stepping down in the autumn which he has no intention of doing.
