That was good, but completely missed the single biggest favour they did him.
The investigation took nearly four fucking months. Four fucking months for, worst case scenario, some fixed penalty notices. Inde-fucking-fensible. Took all of the sting out of it completely unnecessarily. How fucking complex an investigation was it exactly? Talk me through it, officer. So stuff happens, Boris gets some mileage out of Ukraine, and the world moves on. This needs to come to a head, and the glacial pace of their nearly half a million quid investigation, has not in any way helped lance the boil.

Never mind, something else horrendous will be in the news before long, then we can all concentrate on that instead and yet again it'll be a bad time to change leaders.

Remember the good old days, when there were entire years with nothing whatsoever happening and ministers could come and go with no inconvenience to anyone?

Hmmm, I just feel the longer this goes on, the more likely he is to survive it.
It’s been going on a long while now, but he keeps swerving it. I have a crazy theory that the only thing he couldn’t survive is if Starmer gets a FPN and resigns. I’m not suggesting that’ll happen, just saying that he couldn’t survive it.

He has to be forced out, I cannot imagine him leaving voluntarily.
What I don't understand is how he has been allowed to take the piss this obviously, for so long.
If Starmer went in response to a fine, De Piffle would just shrug his shoulders and not care much. I don't see evidence of him experiencing shame or embarrassment. His party would have to remove him and like Trump, he's got rid of a lot of internal opposition already.

"Britain Trump" again
Dragged from office kicking and screaming and insisting he's done nothing wrong
and I think this sort of personality is incapable of feeling shame

Thing is that the Tories were warned that this is where it’d end by those who worked with him previously
But they decided to either accept or ignore that warning in the pursuit of election victory.
Now they’re looking at a seriously damaged party and parliamentary system, and their only option to retain support is to double down.

We're well on the way to having a US political system.
Have been for decades. Luckily, I suspect Johnson is much lazier than Trumpf.

I think we’re some way off an electoral college.

That’s not what he meant and you know it.
