I do chuckle sometimes. ITV broke the story and everyone piles on the BBC. It was on BBC1 News At 10 as the headline story. What would you like them to do? Interrupt the football for it?
Anyway - this should be the end for Johnson. The Met will have to look into this, cops will be involved, there must have been a big cover up, the PM has lied to Parliament on a number of occasions about this etc etc. It might take a couple of weeks but SURELY this has to be the end.
PMQ's will be interesting - hopefully Starmer gets his negative Lat Flows for day 6 & 7
If they don't get rid of Johnson they are finished at the next GE. I see even Ben Houchen is distancing himself from Johnson and his levelling up pledges tonight too! Over the next couple of days the rats will be jumping from the sinking ship.
It's not difficult how to turn this around. Sack Johnson, install new leader, reverse tax hike, introduce levy on Oil Companies and pledge to keep price cap on utilities low. F**k the cost but it'll bring the polls a bit closer.
