    Astonishing that the media managed to get CCTV footage of Matt Hancock snogging a bird in an office corridor within hours of it happening but took a whole year to find out about Downing Street staffers having cheese and wine in the Cabinet Office while Boris was not even there.

    When 2050 comes around and Britain is not “Net Zero” as Boris claimed it would be in Glasgow, Saint Greta will be a middle aged has-been searching care homes to find Boris to complain that he betrayed the planet.

    There is no logic at all to Starmer demanding that Boris resigns. His only chance of winning the next election is to keep Boris there so that more and more Tory voters do not vote.

    I do not agree with your belief that Boris will be gone in a week. It would take longer than that for the Conservatives to launch their formal proceedings to remove him and have a leadership contest.

    I do think that Boris may not last until March 2022. As his “Plan B” measures become more and more ridiculous, I think that enough backbenchers will send their letters to the 1922 Committee to trigger a leadership contest.

    Boris is probably stupid enough to resist but it is quite clear that Brexit got done because of Dominic Cummings and now there is a policy adviser vacuum and Boris has reverted to type, saying and doing stupid things that those around him cannot fix.

    Apparently the tape was handed over via a private company hired to video the conference. One employee probably decided to make a packet. Handed to ITV because they knew that the BBC would bury it.

    The truth is it was a ****e Brexit. Biden is freezing us out in favour of the EU. Truss is reduced to doing trade deals with Fiji, Albania and their likes.

    The country was far more controlled by the rich elite, ably supported by the Tories back then.

    I seem to recall they were a big success (like it or not). Whereas Starmer and Johnson are complete failures, always have been, are and always will be <ok>

    Little wonder you can't sleep at nights.

    Yes, you’re right, we should probably let Bros run Britain, or maybe Wham. George Michael being dead won’t make him any more ****ing useless than the clown shoe wearing ****s presently running the country.
