Fergus Finlay: Ousting of charlatan Johnson just can’t happen soon enough

The British prime minister's Rwanda plan is the ultimate expression of a truly pathetic excuse for a leader

When it comes to political depravity, you’d really begin to wonder what depths Boris Johnson won’t plumb in order to distract attention from his own disgusting carry-on.

It's very clear that there are no levels of depravity to which Vladimir Putin will not sink. He is waging not just a war, but a war of terror against the Ukrainian people. There are no targets not considered legitimate, no sections of the population regarded as off-limits. Babies and children, it is clear, are just as likely to be murdered on his orders as soldiers are. He will go down in history as a war criminal.

When it comes to political depravity, however, you’d really begin to wonder what depths Boris Johnson won’t plumb in order to distract attention from his own disgusting carry-on. He has one thing and one thing only on his mind. To persuade his increasingly hapless and supine party that they should keep him as prime minister until he can find a way to wriggle free from the scandals he has created.
