As Ruth Davidson pointed out on bbc , she can’t understand how this evidence has been out there for so long and not been reported on.
I think that that is down to the popular media and their brexit supporting owners.
They lobbied furiously for brexit - for various reasons, some financially obvious, and we now seem to be approaching a kind of tipping point with the failed project, with even the Telegraph,’ boris’s real boss‘ to quote himself probably the most pro-Tory, pro-brexit of them all, being critical of the so-called ‘benefits’ which appear to be further away than ever, if they ever existed.
There is no doubt that the powerful media barons and their friends in high places want their brexit dream to continue whatever the cost to us plebs, but now see the man who got the notion into voters’ heads and won an election on the back of it, as a weak liability.
They must draw attention away from the brexit disaster, and Johnson is a ready made target due to his total inability to do his job, or even just tell the truth. He can be safely discredited without damaging the brexit brand too much.
We must believe that brexit is still wonderful for everyone in ‘global britain’ but it’s just not being implemented properly by this leader.
So he has to go.
The real worry is what kind of extreme right wing,brexit loving, flag-shagger they replace him with.
