As Boris Johnson becomes the first ever serving Prime Minister of our fine nation to be convicted of a criminal offence, we need to consider the future. Not just the matter of who should be at number 10 but much wider, grander, deeper: the entire structure of politics in Britain. Sorry: …in Britain!!!

So I just wish to make two points:
1. Boris really should resign.
2. Boris ain’t going nowhere.

Legally, morally, politically, Boris should fall on his sword, or better still, have a Julius Caesar moment with the full ‘et tu, Rishi’ as he falls in a puddle of his own blood, as his former allies and comrades sneer at his dying moments, thinking how far this will advance their own careers. And not for having the parties nor for the sheer hypocrisy of setting laws ‘for the nation’ which he chose personally to flaunt. Over 50 times. But his real crime was denying it happened. Lying. That’s, for me, the red line. Boris should not just leave but totally fuck off.

Ironically, the only thing keeping him in his job, allowing him to survive when he has no right, is Kier Starmer.

Because every time you start to think of a Westminster without Boris, the limp and soggy, lacklustre, red-faced twit of an opposition leader, gets his horrible face into a camera to say “he really must go”. And he’s been saying that, and pretty much nothing else, for the last 3 years. He has so overplayed the ‘really must go’ card that it has become meaningless. As does any word or phrase stated 40 times in quick succession. And you think ‘would I ever want that horrible man as the leader of our nation?’ Making Boris’s lying, cheating, disloyalty, bumbling and incompetence seem worth putting up with for just a bit longer.

Starmer’s latest ‘he must go’ was obviously Boris and his Fixed Penalty Notice. But ten minutes before, Sir Kier had been ‘he must go’-ing about Rishi Sunak. Because according to our Labour Party Leader, Rishi just ‘doesn’t get it’. Doesn’t get the cost of living problems, the gas price rises, nothing that poor, probably northern, working people are enduring. Well how could he? He spends his spare time working out how to save every last million quid from the tax man’s claws. So how could the chancellor thus understand the single-parent working mother of six children (from 7 different partners… you do the maths) living in a shoe box in Lincolnshire on 73p a month?!?!

I’d just like to point out that while Sir Kier Starmer QC has never been guilty of having sufficient billions to worry about tax avoidance, nor the wherewithal to investigate such a thing, he is about 36,000 miles from ‘poor’. He was a barrister. A QC. Then the Director of Public Prosecutions (not a very good one). He made a lot of money. Not Sunak/Murty millions but plenty. Enough that he personally will not worry about his electricity usage. Does that mean he ‘doesn’t get it’ either? Does he really believe that only the poor can understand the horrors of poverty? That no-one with a positive bank balance has any empathy? In which case, he ‘can’t get it’ either. Such a tosser.

Happy Wednesday
