We all knew

After writing about the same spivs and chancers, that now make up the cabinet, for the last four years, I am in no way surprised after being rewarded year on year for bigger and grander lies, that they reached the end of the road when the lies, literally, became unbelievable.

Yesterday, in all seriousness, in order to keep up the lie, Michael Gove said he too had sometimes checked his eyesight by going on a long drive. I mean who hasn't? Just everybody.

When a Labour spokesman was asked who was doing their press round on Tuesday, the replied: Michael Gove.

Why put yourself out when Ministers are digger even deeper?

Indeed.

Pressure on Johnson to sack Cummings grows, a junior Scottish Minister resigned, and 38 other Tory MPs called for Cummings to resign of be sacked.

Nothing happened.

But a Government has linked its very credibility and trashed its own public health message on saving Cummings: what could he have on Johnson, Gove etc for them to risk so much?

Cummings would know "where the bodies are buried", and if he wanted could make life very difficult. But more difficult that annoying the nation? People have lost so much, sacrificed so much, only for the Government to effectively say, you did but only because you didn't love your family enough, that is a very bad message to send out.

But 60,000 dead and the risk of a second and deadlier wave? Best offer unconditional support to an unelected advisor who ignored the advice he helped formulate and write. Something very fishy about this, and seeing the pictures on beaches at places like Bournemouth over the weekend shows that most people think the threat is over and we go back to normal.

All to protect Cummings.

And people who have had fixed penalty notices (FPN) issued by police will not have them reviewed in light of Cummings' excuse and the following Ministerial support. But what is good for him should be the same for all families. Unless we're not all the same, some are more equal than others. I feel a legal challenge coming very, very soon.
