SPLIT

With the ERG joining the DUP in opposing the “Windsor Framework” does this mean a split in the tories. The Reform Party is recruiting ex-tory MP’s like Widecombe and will find support on GBNews. Then we have the Johnson committee appearance tomorrow, where his supporters will be claiming bias from a committee with 4/7 tories – and also claiming that he did mislead Parliament but this is not proven (surely the weakest of defences?). Add in the report on the MetPolice and this seems to be another bad week for the government. Braverman’s visit to Rwanda with selected right wing press does not appear to have played out well either. Finally the IPCC has reported on the enormity of the climate crisis we face – with little support from governments.
