Yesterday, news came that most DUP MPs in Westminster and Stormont had signed a letter of no confidence in DUP leader and First Minister, Arlene Foster.
She resigned today.
And is walking away from politics, probably made as much as she can what with the "cash for ash" and the billion quid bung she got from May.
Still, good while it lasted.
She railed against the NIP, saying how unfair it was on Unionists and NI as a whole. But that is the problem with Brexit, there has to be a border.
Somewhere.
Just where.
Or, have arrangements in quivillence so that standards on both sides are the same, but that would be unnacceptable to the headbangers in the ERG, and the DUp who wanted Brexit, yet almost anything but the softest of Bresits would have profound effects in NI more than anywhere else.
There can be no easy solutions, just acceptance on all sides and how to make it work, because the alternative is chaos.
Meanwhile, Johnson is being surrounded by scandal. He refises to way where the money for the flat refurb came from originally, but it looks like a new appointed member of the House of Lords is likely, appointed by one Borish Johnson. The lord is also CEO of a company that won a PPE contract last year.
Well.
And report that Johnson's gorlfriend, Carrie Symonds, aka "Carrie Antoinette", said that the current decor was a "John Lewis nightmare", so they spunked £200,000 on some wallpaper and a sofa. Or something.
Meanwhile the Electoral Commission is looking into the role of the COnservative Party, as it is likely that laws have been broken.
Well.
The Mail carries on digging up more shot on Johnson, while the Express, Times and Torygraph back him.
That might change.
And today, in PMQs, the PM shouted at Starmer that he had answered the question, when he hadn't. Of course.
And the real kick in the teeth is that it is the PM who gets to decide if anyone, including himself, has broken the Ministerial Code.
