In case you missed it, our Prime Minister has spent the last 18 months defending himself against accusations of various varieties of terrible behaviour, often that defence resulting in blatant lies. Lying to us (bad), lying to parliament (simply not done), lying to everyone, to the point where as well as his seemingly endless list of crimes and misdemeanours, the main accusation against him became ‘untrustworthy, dishonest’.

But no more! Now we’re in the post-partygate world, post-covid, (even though I personally know about 27 people who have it right now), post-inquiries, post-law-breaking, post-just-surviving-a-vote-of-no-confidence-by-the-skin-of-his-scrotum, era of Boris Nouveau. He’s reformed. No more scandals, no more lying, no more obfuscation so deep and spin so profound that they become just more lying. Hooray for Boris!!!

So its good that when he (pretty much personally) managed to lose the bye-election in Tiverton by the biggest margin any tosser has ever lost anything before, to the Lib-Dems, of all people, Boris stood up, like a man, well, stooped up, he’s never properly ‘upright’, and made his claim. Which was: people voted against the Tories because they’re fed up with everyone wasting time discussing the structure of the Conservative Party and a whole bunch of now boring allegations, when they want to hear about cost of living, the price of gas, the rail strikes and Spurs acquisitions in the transfer window. In no way was this any kind of indictment of Boris, his actions and his lies, nor any indication of any future voting patters. This immense loss was purely the voters telling Boris to stop defending himself, stop shredding his political party, stop the infighting and plotting, and run the effin country!

Which is ‘bollocks’ of such immensity, of such ostrich-like ignorance or delusion of a scale not witnessed since the ‘weapons of mass destruction’ debacle of Tony Blair.

Boris knows that result (and the other, but that one’s a bit irrelevant because its always been a labour seat previously and its up north so doesn’t really count) was down to him, totally, fundamentally, completely and all-consumingly. To say otherwise (because he’s not an idiot, nor THAT deluded) is just the lies once more.

Plus ca change, plus ca meme chose, as they say in Norwich.

Happy Sunday
