What is being described as the “most severe constitutional crisis involving a Prime Minister” will worsen until Boris Johnson either quits or is sacked.
History of government expert Lord Hennessy’s assessment that the PM broke the law, misled Parliament and shredded the ministerial code would – in a healthy democracy – result in change at the top.
Instead Britain will be saddled, for at least a little longer, with a charlatan stripped of authority and legitimacy until Conservative MPs put national before party interest and replace Johnson with a more worthy PM.
By pretending it was all a mistake and that he never intended to break the laws he made and imposed on others is a grotesque charade.
Britain deserves a fresh start.
But we’ll never get it with Johnson.
Ungodly mess
The Archbishop of Canterbury spoke for millions when he condemned the Government’s ungodly plans to dump Britain’s asylum seekers and refugees in Rwanda.
Justin Welby’s blistering assault on Boris Johnson’s callous and unworkable plan voiced the horror of good people over the persecution of desperate people seeking a better life.
Every country is entitled to control immigration and police its borders.
But the inhumane proposal to spend around £30,000 per head to send folk to Africa is a disgrace to Britain and aims to deflect attention from the PM’s lawbreaking and tax rising.
When haughty Jacob Rees-Mogg attacks the Archbishop we know Welby is right.
Top of the Bill
Coronation Street actors Bill Roache and Anne Reid must’ve had a lot to talk about.
The couple were married 11 years in the soap before her character was electrocuted.
Perhaps they could muse about how life might have turned out had she survived and they had emigrated to Jamaica as planned.
The upside is we enjoyed Anne in Last Tango in Halifax and Dinnerladies, and Bill’s a legend.
