This is probably why the possible candidates are holding back despite the risk that Johnson could sink the Tories with him. This is not a good time to take over.

You would think that's a reason for Sunak to try and get a quick change of leadership in place before Awful April kicks in and Truss potentially becomes more popular in the Party.

Truss is already a favourite of the party, she led the last Conservative Home rankings.

Why am I not surprised?

We don’t need Sue’s report, to know No. 10 staff and Boris, broke lockdown rules.

She would be my choice...

That's probably why Johnson has set her the tough task of negotiating with the EU.

Well, you shouldn’t be surprised. If these wreckers didn’t keep adding new allegations every day, it would be finished this week.

I'm not surprised as I only said a few days ago

But we always had this early warning too.

No doubt Nadine "I'm so thick I even tried to not talk like a scouser" Dorries would find something to defend if they had a party every day.

If she carries on at her present rate, she's in danger of putting Old Boy out of a job.

Well, it is starting to get to the point where raking up a new party every day, from 15 months ago, is starting to get a bit silly. It's clear they did it regularly, when most likely they shouldn't have (based on the acid test that we wouldn't be allowed to) and that they need to take the punishment for doing it, but constantly raking up new instances of basically the same thing aren't really helping anyone.



The situation where doing it doesn't apply at the moment so everything would be historic, and they have apologised (in a way), we're unlikely to be in the situation where they can do it again (and if we were, what would happen then), I just don't think it's helpful.


And all this stuff they're bringing out as a dead cat to distract people and make Boris look popular again is just silly too. I have no idea how this BBC licence freeze thing is beneficial to anyone, it will no doubt lead to cuts in services probably at the local or live broadcast level as that will be the easiest to cut back on. The focus needs to be on removing all Covid restrictions (legally) and reverting to guidance (e.g. working from home and wearing a mask should be your choice not a legal one) to get the country back to pre-pandemic state as after almost 2 years of it people are now getting sick of it. Then they need to be delivering their levelling up agenda in the north which they promised in 2019.

The ironical thing about the BBC situation is they're about the only organisation which hasn't been sent any leaked party emails or photos!

The most damaging stuff has all gone to ITV.

Bozo has to go, he's lost all credibility. He's a liability and completely untrustworthy. Dragging it out is just making him and his party look worse day by day. Not a lot more to say really.

.

Apologies arent enough , it was breaking the law for which others were prosecuted and fined for.
Either they are saying the law doesn't apply to everyone, or they need to start again with new bunch of muppets running the country.
