Coup

A coup is underway in Westminster.

It has long been planned.

It is the accumulation of power for power's sake.

First it was the limiting questioning of the Executive, either by limiting FoI, reducing Legal Aid and attempting to limit Judicial Review, as obeying Laws of the land is only a technicality when applied to Ministers.

At the same time as Brexit, a global pandemic, Johnson and Cummings are now wrecking Whitehall, with the Cabinet Office to be disbanded. First stage in this was the sacking of Sir Mark Sedwill from is dual roles as Cabinet Secretary and National Security Advisor.

Johnson is now only PM on Wednesday's when he has to attend PMQs, how long before he avoids them too?

Once upon a time, the Army threatened Harold Wilson with a coup by sending troops to Heathrow to warn him. Who will threaten Johnson and Cummings? Not the complicit media, print and video. Rights will soon be swept away, and there will be no comeback, as the UK has no codified constitution.

Anyone avoiding scrutiny has something to hide, Johnson has avoided scrutiny from the public, the media, Parliament. Government by diktat soon, announcements in leaks to the Torygraph. Oh sorry, that already happens.
