If you’re defending a PM who makes draconian new laws and then breaks them, your public service mechanism is shot
Seriously, Tory party, there is no pooper scooper big enough to clear up Johnson’s constant mess

British prime minister Boris Johnson leaving 10 Downing Street on Tuesday to head to the House of Commons, where he was due to make a statement to MPs following the announcement that he is among the 50-plus people fined so far as part of the Metropolitan Police probe into Covid breaches in Government. 

Defending the indefensible prime minister over pandemic lawbreaking, one Conservative MP sniffed to the Financial Times: “It’s not as if he walked into a rave in Ibiza.” I mean … all the clubs in Ibiza were dutifully shut, what with it being a pandemic? But yes, how encouraging that Amnesia holds itself to a higher standard than No 10.

Boris Johnson has just passed 1,000 days of premiership, and you have to agree he has truly delivered on his flagship levelling down agenda. Johnson drags everyone to the bottom. In the afternoon of this totemic day, the prime minister was forced to stand up in the House of Commons — or the Bollocksseum, as his behaviour repeatedly casts it.
