PM not fit to govern
The nauseating stench of sleaze produced by Boris Johnson and the Conservative Government is overwhelming, the accelerating decay of our democracy.
This a Prime Minister with a couldn’t-care-less approach to running the country.
He is a stranger to honesty, prepared to say whatever is convenient for himself, showing himself unfit to hold high office.
His ordering of Tory MPs to protect Owen Paterson, who breached lobbying bans in two jobs paying £112,000 a year on top of his Westminster £82,000 salary, was grotesque.
It also revealed a grotesque wider truth –that when Johnson or his gang outrageously break the rules, he decides those same rules must be torn up instead of obeyed.
In a democracy, that is frightening. Trust is the cornerstone of how we’re governed.
The ferocious backlash against Tory sleaze has shaken the over-confident Old Etonian.
The SNP referring Tory peerages to the police, Liberal Democrats achieving today’s Commons debate and Labour going on the offensive is, with many Tory voters and MPs sickened by Johnson and his Government, a country beginning to unite against a shameless man starting to regret his ugly arrogance.
Take care, Saj
The vulnerable risk going unfed unless Sajid Javid wakes up to the hammer blow he is about to deliver to the care system.
Carers should be jabbed against Covid but the Health Secretary must let those who are not take daily tests instead of sacking them.
Losing a further 60,000 workers in a sector with 100,000 vacancies equals chaos.
The last recruitment drive attracted 3,000 people which doesn’t bode well for his current campaign.
He should try paying carers more and treating them with respect not contempt.
Peaty a winner
Swimming champ Adam Peaty didn’t add dance gold to his collection of medals.
But he can be proud – making any kind of splash on Strictly is a badge of honour.
