Not one but two egocenric narcissist liars go down on the same day. Trump facing criminal charges whilst Johnson resigns before being sacked as an MP. His constituents will not miss him as he has been absent without leave for the past year, missong 192 votes in the HoC. I suspect that this is the begining of Johnson’s troubles, not the end. The Covid Inquiry will surely reveal more cases of incompetence and wrong doing. He seemed to imply that he would be back – I would be very surprised if even his most ardent supporters can mis-read public opinion that he is a liar and not to be trusted. The chutzpah and aura that led him in the Brexit Campaign and GE victory have long since metamorphised into nightmares. Brexit is a complete failure. Every new Minister announces that they will correct the errors made by Conservative Governments.
Johnson should not be allowed to dispense honours- he has been found guilty of lying and dishonesty. by his peers, and should not be able to create new ones! Oh, yeah, and Dorries has gone – are there more to follow?
Meanwhile Starmer announced a pull back on its Green Policies. This is not surprising given the financial black hole which the Conservatives will leave behind. However he does need to make firm commitments in this area if he is to avoid a serious swing to te LibDems and Greens in many areas.
Trump faces Federal Criminal Charges – which experts believe are sure to succeed. Trump responds just like Johnson – “They are picking on me – I am so perfect I cannot have broken any laws”. Of more concern is the donations to his presidential campaign due to the indictment – let us hope that not all Americans are this stupid (although there seems to be a lot of them!
