'Liar Johnson's fatal chaos piled bodies high while Tory patsies laugh and joke'

Let's rename it Prime Minister Not Answering the Question Time after brass-necked Boris Johnson's shameless dismissal of lost lives.

By evasively dodging explosive evidence that thousands died needlessly because of his and the Conservative Government's mistakes and incompetence, Mr Slippery proved former chief adviser Dominic Cummings is right about at least one thing: it's “crackers” Johnson is PM.

Labour leader Keir Starmer asked all the right questions, the onetime chief prosecutor forensically quoting Cummings' most devastating accusations.

Parliament permitting Johnson to skip direct failings is the failure of the political system to hold power to account.

Maybe no governing party would let its MPs give the Speaker authority to stand up and force a PM to answer adequately. If that's the case that's bad for democracy.

Because Johnson inflating his own vaccine bubble, hiding behind jabs, deploying the inoculated as human shields, cannot allow the most cynical of Prime Minister's to escape responsibility for the dead bodies he piled high.

Funerals of loved ones aren't in the “rear view mirror” of grieving families but permanent, never-ending heartache.

Watching Tory MPs laughing and joking, lobbing soft questions and avoiding any mention of the fatal chaos and confusion alleged by Cummings, was equally nauseating.

The patsy in the Commons chamber who invited Johnson to visit an alpaca called Boris in his constituency was a village missing an idiot.

Bitter experience teaches us that instantly assuming Johnson's lying saves time when believing the opposite of what he claims is often closer to the truth than the fabrications coming out of his mouth.

When Johnson asserted he took “full responsibility” for decisions he was swatting precisely that away.

One day voters will wonder how they ever fell for this charlatan.

And when they do, the country will be a better run. Truth will also finally matter.
