I'd love it if rather than the usual political language, if he just said "the prime minister is taking the piss. Its that simple. He's taking the piss out of everybody that's suffered in the last 18 months. Death, theft and lies are the sum of his actions as prime minister."

On the one hand, it's ridiculous that he's got away with so much shite and it's something relatively trivial that could end him.
On the other hand, it's getting proper cut through. Like it or not, more people are interested in I'm A Celebrity than politics, on the whole. So:
Fuck him. An appalling human being, always has been.

It's like Hancock though. Criminally negligent, a liar, defrauded the public purse etc. But it's a snog that gets him. Country is fucked

That’s about as predictable as Everton releasing a new stadium update the day after every match they lose.

Can't think of a worse thing to introduce as your dead cat.
I wouldn't be surprised if the country told them to fuck off with the lockdown we're not doing shit.

He'll stand up today and say he's been lied to and that heads will roll. He didn't know who was paying to tart up his flat and those in charge of standards chose to believe him so why would he know that parties were taking place without his knowledge? He had a country to run FFS.
How he'll get out of the Chloe Smith leaving party when he actually spoke to a crowded audience......

Agree with this sentiment completely. The thing is though, that unlike them, the police will be zealously enforcing the rules against us, at their behest. All this is very chilling, to me at least anyway.

Anyone with an ounce of integrity would see that we’ve reached a situation where any Covid measures brought in by this Government won’t be followed and that will lead to deaths, both directly from Covid but also from delayed treatment of diseases such as cancer, and resign. We know he won’t so Starmer needs to get backbench Tories to stab him in the front, probably with a smile on their faces. Once a few break ranks it will make Murder in the Orient Express look like a few scratches. I live in hope there are a few Tory MPs that care about more than self-advancement.
Don't think this is true. At no point since this started have I followed the rules because they were the rules - especially because the rules have pretty much always been inconsistent with our scientific understanding of the virus, confusing, or just plain pointless. But I've absolutely made every effort to try and reduce both my chances of catching the virus, and of giving it to anyone else. It's why I still wear a mask when indoors or on public transport, for example. I don't want to, but that's not the point. It's just what we have to do, collectively, to stop things getting worse, and make the point where none of us have to wear masks come sooner.
Wouldn't be surprised if this makes people who were already resistant to changing their behaviour more stubborn - across the spectrum, from outright conspiracy theorists to the merely pissed off and reluctant - but, at the same time, if it's clear there's another wave coming which makes some activities riskier then that's going to also lead to plenty of people not doing those activities, new rules or no. There was already a mass move to working from home/cancelling large events pre-March 2020 lockdown, for example.
I have no doubt that they're gonna throw out this "Plan B" thing now as a distraction, because it's them, but it doesn't change the wider calculus that things still aren't back to "normal" yet, and there's another speed bump coming up before we get there. If they hadn't been so appallingly incompetent (if not outright malicious) throughout the last two years then maybe they could actually just issue new advice and most people would trust them enough to take it into account. Maybe even support people and businesses in sectors that would be hit worst. But no, bar the one-off of furlough they're all stick, no carrot - for us, not them.

Johnson “Furious and sickened” by reports. Undoubtedly, but only because the reports have reached the public. The big question is why did it take two weeks to launch an Enquiry, surely not related to the Allegra Stratton video?
