Which speaks to Cummings’ point about him being unfit for PM.
He is. He always was. His record of Deputy Mayors in London, contrasting articles on the EU referendum, show him to be a man of few political convictions and fewer true political allies.
I agree that in the ideal, personal proclivities should not be taken into account, but when they potentially affect judgement, they’re a real problem.
Cummings realised this. The only reason Hancock hasn’t gone yet is because he’s the Space Invaders shield protecting Boris.
It’s all relevant.
I struggled to survive on $250k +++ back in the days with kids in Dubai.
Now I struggle on £2,500.
But strangely I ate & drank well in both situations & still did crazy shit & avoided handouts.
But Boris would struggle if he was Bezos and still seek “sponsorship”
It strikes me that the Good Law Project are this country’s Covid ‘wikileaks’. Will we see Jolyon Maugham banging on the door at the Ecuadorian Embassy?
Another thought - whilst the Good Law Project is not for profit, how much of the £500k of legal fees they spend a year ends up in Julian Maughan’s pocket
Oh Johnson and his exoneration of fiddling the funding of his flat renovations, from the BBC
“… Lord Geidt also said that “in the middle of a pandemic”, Mr Johnson “simply accepted” that a trust he was hoping to set up to handle the Downing Street work “would be capable of satisfactorily resolving the situation without further interrogation”…”
He “hoped to set up a trust to handle…the work” and “would be capable of satisfactorily resolving the situation without further interrogation"
WTAF - is no one going to question this? Why would you set up a trust to decorate your flat and why would you hope it would therefore avoid further scrutiny?
The UK public fobbed off again with no rigorous scrutiny/ questioning?!??
