No doubt about it, the pandemic has provided the tories excellent cover for a host of self-inflicted problems.
I don’t know what kind of timescale they are looking at, but someday the virus will become a relative irrelevance as will,what will be one day, the former pm Johnson, and then someone is going to have to take ownership of the clusterf*ck that is brexit.
If there aren’t enough main-stream one nation tories left in the party to protect one nation Toryism, then the lurch to the extreme fringes on the right once occupied by farage and his cohort, will surely render them as unelectable as , well, farage and his cohort.
Indeed, but how does one decide that something is the fault of the pandemic and that something is the fault of Brexit? It’s as if the country has been put under anesthetic for the last two years, so when it finally does come out of its slumber, the world will look reassuringly similar, yet some things will have changed entirely, but nobody will be able to identify quite what caused what. Perhaps in the summer when more people travel to Europe again, they’ll complain about the added bureaucracy and extra costs that entails, but even then those will be offset by having a stronger pound. Every difference ’at home’ will be attributed to the pandemic and then to the changing world in which we live. Those awaiting a Brexit comeuppance may be sorely disappointed.

As for the Conservatives, they’re born to govern, or so they believe, and Labour’s dalliance with the Left shows how moving too far from the centre can quickly make you unelectable. What is more, the Right have won their victory with Brexit, so they don’t really have anything new to offer the electorate.
 
Results of the enquiry will be released once Boris's spin doctors have massaged it enough so as not to overly incriminate the gimp.
Alternatively, you allow the results of the inquiry to be just damaging enough that Johnson can resign on the basis that he broke a technicality but he can still bow out with a degree of face saved. You then start the public inquiry into the pandemic, all the time knowing that Hancock and Johnson, two of the chief protagonists, are now safely out of reach, and so nobody ultimately carries the can for that.
 
Just egg him. Everywhere he goes everyone just launch eggs at him. Heavier things are available to those who have suffered over his wine fueled lockdown meetings.

Why do the police have to wait for the results of an internal inquiry. That defense wouldn't wash with either you or me if we had been suspected of breaking the law? And its highly likely the law was broken.

The met should just tell Gray to step aside before she prejudices' a criminal investigation. This appears to already be happening with reports of senior civil servants telling staff to delete emails and texts messages about parties. Anyone and everyone who attended any of these parties should be charged.
 
Now saying through his press officer that he wasnt invited to the party and did not see the email invitation

But you did see fourty people drinking in your back garden and you joined them for twenty five mins ( yeah right )

Keep digging
 
According to Simon Hoare MP it was a thank you to Raab for holding the fort while Johnson was ill and a welcome back to Boris. Looks like we will need a new Justice Minister as well as a new PM then.
 
Is he banging Truss now?

That gesture she made at the end of PMQs looked like someone very familiar with him.
