Cummings and Goings

Boris Johnson is insisting that Dominic Cummings acted legally in travelling 30 miles to a tourist town during lockdown.

The Prime Minister defended Cummings in saying he had special family considerations.

Labour's Shadow Minister for Policing and the Fire Service, Sarah Jones, pointed to the fact that single mums do not feel the need in the main to break these lockdown rules.

Dominic Cummings seems like Peter Mandelson able to keep a grip on power, despite countless transgressions.

He is possibly just too useful to Tory HQ, for them to worry about piddling little rules they have set for the whole country...

At the time of writing 108,287 people had signed a Change.org petition calling for his resignation.

Written sourcing the BBC and The Observer.

Boris to be PM

Boris Johnson has been voted leader of the Conservative party, so he is set to replace Theresa May as PM.

He was congratulated in his win by none other than Donald Trump, proving all buffoons flock together.

He has promised Brexit by October and is willing to have no deal.

I for one hope Brexit never comes and I’m not looking forward to years under Boris.

Tory leadership race

Theresa May has stepped down, now it is certain we’ll be getting a new prime minister.

I for one am dreading her replacement.

It seems to me it can only get worse, with the likes of Michael Gove and Boris Johnson in contention.

As if to prove my fear correct Boris Johnson is offering a higher rate tax cut if he gets in.

Yes, that’s exactly what we need in Austerity Britain, more wealthy people getting away from paying tax into services like the NHS.

Bye bye Boris

We can all breathe a sigh of relief that Boris Johnson has resigned from the cabinet.

It is heartening to see Theresa May’s government in disarray, long may it continue.

Hopefully this will sway the populace to a later Labour electoral victory.
