OB wants the PM to get on with what needs to be done. I agree, so long as it's not Boris.
The postulations aren't the issue the endless sycophantic defence of bozo is, seriously get out more, not even Nadine Dorries is that devoted and that's without pointing out if a politician wants to take the steam out of a scandal the best and easiest thing to say is wait for the report or inquiry and hope everyone loses interest in the meantime

Mr Hancock, who was replaced by Sajid Javid last year, claimed the High Court ruling had exonerated him and the had been cleared "of any wrongdoing", because PHE "failed to tell ministers what they knew about asymptomatic transmission"...

… However, the risks of asymptomatic transmission had been highlighted by Sir Patrick Vallance, the Government's chief scientific adviser for England, who said it was "quite likely" as early as March 13 2020. Varying levels of risk had been outlined in papers from late January, the ruling said

Is Ukraine part of Europe? I think you'll be hard pressed to find anyone in Ukraine to condier him to be a laughing stock or National embarassment.

I agree he will have to go but I don't think the time is now.

That's a bit of a reach to single out Ukraine. I'll narrow it done to specific nationals who have mocked him (cruelly I would add) to me.

Austrians; Belgians; Danes; French; Germans; Swedes.

Yes but it's why I don't think it is the time. He can still be of benefit to Ukraine to push for the supply of the longer range artillery that they are crying out for to go on the offensive.

To me, Ukraine is far more important than partygate.

I don't think the trust will ever be fully rebuilt either. If he has a good few months now the polls will recover a bit and the appetite for him to go will decline within the party but every time his trustworthiness comes up it'll be punching an open wound. He'll never completely shake the image of being a lair.

You don't need Johnson for that though. The whole British political system is pretty much behind our actions in Ukraine and Ben Wallace has been the lead guy on the issue.

Fair comment, Grim - I would just point out that I have said the same things over and over because so many of Boris’s detractors are on repeat and just keep regurgitating the same points again and again.

I’m calling it a day on this now as I think these people are obsessed and beyond help and certainly beyond reason.

Yes - but it doesn't need Boris to support Ukraine.

We managed to change prime minister during ww2 certainly once,
perhaps twice ? and we of course were directly involved in that

Exactly. Johnson supporters' last stand is to state he's the only person capable of handling the cost of living crisis and in supporting Ukraine.

There's many Conservative MPs capable of doing this whilst also maintaining the trust of the British public through their words and deeds. Johnson has shown in a couple of years he's not one of them.

Interesting analysis HERE regarding Johnson only receiving one fine, by a legal writer for the FT.

Great find and a good theory as to why Johnson was only fined once. I'm sure Johnson's not the only leader of a political party capable of invoking such a reason, especially someone familiar with the law.

I've read some of his takes before, always interesting.
