- Ambushed by birthday cake (In English: I broke my own rules that I asked everyone to follow)
- Ambushed by energy prices (In English: I presided over a regime that closed power stations without replacing them, leaving the UK heavily vulnerable to geopolitical disturbances.)
- Ambushed by pinching allegations about a whip (In English: I was warned twice about Chris Pincher but ignored it as he's a mate and mates before country and Party, right?)

Off to see Zelensky today. Presumably asking him how to ban opposition parties and trade unions.

You missed ambushed by trying to change the rules so your friends can be as bent as hell and take bungs.

All trivia, of course and a diversion by his detractors from the real issues.

Few would dare pretend they were trivial matters.
He created these problems by his poor decisions. They were not created by his detractors nor by his apologists.

You're out of luck with the truss bot then, a robot on valium and I think I speak for the majority who just want an adult in charge for a change

Of course they were trivial. There are far more important matters to be concerned about both in this country and the rest of the world.

Corruption, energy strategy and multiple allegations of sexual assault are not trivial matters, Old Boy.
It's time to stop viewing Johnson's Conservative Party as if it were a Premier League team at the end of the season facing relegation that needs every shout from its supporters.

So the energy crisis is "trivial"?
Interesting viewpoint…

Perhaps you might like to look at the governments of other countries before you rush to judgement on ours.
In the scheme of things, the criticisms of the PM that forced him out of office are indeed trivial.

The energy crisis is not trivial, and I didn’t say it was. It’s certainly a lot more important than partygate.
The energy price hike was caused by the war in Ukraine, as you well know, and our energy supplies are in far better shape than many EU countries are facing.

So we should accept mediocrity and poor performance because other countries do it? What a way to base your standards
