He ate cake for his birthday. Big deal.

He’s not the one who’s laughing. Dominic Cummings is. And he laughs even louder when he sees people falling for his mischief-making.

My advice - when the Sue Gray report is published, possibly next week, take a good look at exactly what happened. What did Boris actually do himself that apparently broke the rules?

Then stand back and reconsider.

However, a lot of your statements listing Johnson's successes are clearly pipe dreams. For example, national debt interest payments are at a record £70bn. The Northern Ireland Assembly is not functioning due to the cack-handed Brexit deal Johnson signed. And the red wall seats are worse off since Johnson became PM.

I don't have loyalty to any political party and have voted for them all.
I’ll just comment on this as to comment on the first part of your post will just send this argument into another circle.

Of course national debt has increased to £70bn. What did you expect with all the help he and the Chancellor gave to people to help them to avoid the worst economic impacts of the lockdowns and other emergency measures introduced? That doesn’t mean we have to keep over-spending forever more. There has to be a limit, unless of course you’re a Leftie.

As for the NI Assembly, you know as well as I do, because we’ve already had this debate, that it is the EU’s bureaucratic way of interpreting the Protocol that makes it unworkable.

The red wall population, like the rest of the Uk, are worse off mainly because of Russia’s war with Ukraine.

When people stand back at the next election, and look at how Boris has navigated through all of this, I don’t think they will be voting with cake in mind, but for you, this is an obsession.
