BoJo banished - Liz Truss down. Is Rishi next for the toaster? **threadbans in OP**

Some good news for the UK on the Covid front.

I do recall back in summer Boris lifted mandatory masks wearing at a time when cases were rising - which caused some concern, but noting happened. Point being he is going to get credit for not being as restrictive as say Wales.

I can't provide a link for the following because I heard it on UK radio - but a poll reports that only 5% of the UK public are following this story at all. I wouldn't be surprised if that's true as the level of saturation coverage of this which is painfully repetitive is a right turn off.

I stopped myself from saying this before xmas but the level of outrage over this has been suspiciously OTT. One woman I just heard speaking to Iain Dale said she died 3 times in hospital on the day of the party, the complaint being her relatives weren't allowed to be with her had she died. It's just that bit comical now and I'm not really convinced that the county is really as outraged as you'd think it is judging by social media or the News. As said before the Tory's has better be sure what their doing if they intend to get rid of Boris before the next election or they might regret it. Maybe that's what Labour are hoping will happen, that getting rid of Boris will do the Tory government more harm than good.

By "nothing happened" do you mean they sustained a much higher continuous rate of hospitalisation and death than any neighbouring countries? Because that's what the outcome of them not taking proper health measures was. Sure, they've let the virus burn through the population more quickly and they might be out the other side a month or so before us, but it's cost thousands upon thousands of lives to get there.

Ireland went from a 7 day average of 2 deaths per day on 15th June to 4 deaths per day on 15th October. In the same period the UK went a from a 7 day average of 9 deaths per day to 120 deaths per day. So while Ireland's death rate doubled the UK's death date increased 13 fold. But yeah, let's call that "nothing happened"

And by the way that's not simply an opinion, it's a fact based on brexit and Boris voting histories.

'Mr Johnson cancelled a planned trip to a vaccination clinic in Lancashire today, despite official guidance being that you do not have to isolate if you have been double-vaccinated, even if you come into contact with someone who is positive for the virus.'

Doesn't follow the rules when he's meant to, follows them when he doesn't need to. What an absolute joke. He's using any excuse he can to hide from probing questions from the press.

This is unadulterated rubbish. By the time Johnson became PM, all any PM had to do to deliver Brexit was nothing at all. The UK was on a default course to a no-deal Brexit, and action was required to avoid that.

Johnson's achievement was not delivering Brexit. It was delivering Brexit on the terms of the Withdrawal Agreement. But even the Withdrawal Agreement had been largely settled before he came along as PM; his particular contribution, the final piece of the puzzle, was the Northern Ireland Protocol.

So, Johnson's contribution to Brexit was the one aspect of Brexit that Brexiters are most unhappy about.

Isn't "arrogant, snobbish, sanctimonious, disorganised, infighting, contradictory and often insane" pretty much a description of the contemporary Tory Party?

Or should I say, of the contemporary Tory Work Event?

Wow, we are down to quote mining? Really?

So you accept that he got Brexit done really badly, that he made a mess of it. Hardly the argument you think you are making.

Nobody, not Johnson, not the government, not the media, not the public at large, think Brexit is done. The fact they have to keep repeating it shows it to be the case. If it was really done, they wouldn't have to continually tell everyone that it is done, despite all the evidence

The blinkers do suit you, it must be said.
