Liar, liar, Boris Johnson’s pants will forever be on fire.
History will remember Britain’s temper tantrum baby Trump as a fibber, a condemned fabricator.
Yet Partygate porkies aren’t even the worst deceits.
Brexit tops the bill when the huge £100billion-plus cost is a ruinous real world away from the perjurer’s phantom £350million a week.
There will be no 40 new hospitals promised at the last general election.
Withholding a Parliamentary club card for cheap drinks is a slap on the wrist for a coward escaping a 90-day suspension.
But it is the judgment of his peers that will really hurt Johnson.
Ludicrously portraying himself as St Boris the Martyr, a prophet sacrificed by barbarians, is a continuation of his delusion. The campaign to “Free the Bullingdon One” will be a noisy failure.
Because MPs on a Tory majority Privileges Committee, Westminster’s wider Conservative tribe and Rishi Sunak all know the truth.
And it isn’t just that Johnson lied about No10 lockdown rule-breaking parties, although he did that in spades.
It is that Johnson is a born liar, a mendacious twister who uses what a Trump aide called “alternative facts” to create his own distorted reality.
Many of the same Tory MPs running a mile from Johnson now knew they were making a cynical pact with the devil by appointing him leader and PM.
So this isn’t only about one man when the damage is enormous, possibly permanent.
All Johnson’s accomplices – Sunak included – deserve to pay with their jobs when judgment day comes at the polls.
