Boris Johnson is prepared to destroy everything and everybody around him to survive at all costs.
He is an embarrassment to our great nation. The world thinks worse of Britain because we’re led by a reckless liar.
The Prime Minister is a charlatan who makes us look cheap and nasty.
The police inquiry into Downing Street’s lockdown parties, followed by damning evidence in Sue Gray’s limited report and a risible response in Parliament demonstrate why Johnson is uniquely unfit for high office.
Labour leader Keir Starmer was pitch-perfect in his condemnation.
And even more telling for Johnson were the assaults from his own own side, particularly Theresa May, former Cabinet minister Andrew Mitchell and MP Aaron Bell who asked if he is a fool for obeying the rules at his gran’s funeral.
The Russians, Ukrainians, Americans and Chinese – in fact, leaders of every nation – know Johnson is a vastly diminished Premier.
Tory MPs should do their patriotic duty and immediately remove this ghastly stain.
Vaccines fiasco
Backing down on mandatory jabs-for jobs for England’s health and care workers saves the NHS from mass sackings but many thousands of care homes staff were forced out last year.
Luring them back won’t be easy but the Government could help by offering compensation and improved wages. Despite being so valuable, these jobs are horribly underpaid.
The Mirror has consistently urged everyone to get vaccinated, but regular tests were always preferable to showing objectors the door.
Once again the Tories got it wrong. In future, they should try thinking before going down the wrong road and having to do a U-turn.
Charm & a Legg
Leonard Fenton’s role as Dr Legg in EastEnders made him a household name.
The charming actor had a fine career. We thank the good doctor for the great memories.
