You say it best when you say nothing at all

Sometimes it is easier to understand what is happening by examining the front pages to see which papers are reporting on the latest scandal(s) and which are not.

As I pointed out, it seem the Express is fully behind Johnson after failing to report the Cummings issue of the flat refurbishment on Friday, whereas it seems that Johnson called the editors of the Mail, Times and Torygraph to personally point the finger of blame for leaks at his former aide, Cummings.

Three days on, and it seems the Mail has turned, by leading with a story that he would rather let bodies pile up in their thousands than agree to a further lockdown. This is telling, for the first time one of the hard right, Tory supporting papers turning on "their man", Johnson.

The Times is still going with Cummings is the "rat", the Express is screaming that there is nothing to see here, just get on with the good(!) work and stop asking pesky questions and the Torygraph leads with an Editorial that the allegations are unlikely to stick because they come from Labour.

Not much about the allegations themselves that have issues involving political donations, possible tax-evasion (by the PM) and yet more lying on the record.

And at the middle is the worry, from Cimmings, that activities undertake for Vote Leave would lead him to prison, and that Johnson turned on the person he protected last year over the Nation's health, quite a turn round.

That they are both liars, and that accepting the word of a newspaper we have villified for months, years makes the situation hard to assess. What we do know is that ummings and various Civil Servants are to appear before committees this week, and there is no telling if Cummings or anyone else will thrown themselves under the bus to protect Johnson.

Art the root of it, is a PM who has gotten away with lying all his life, Vote Leave who lied and broke election law to win, and not only got away with it, are now in Government.

It might all fizzle out, as will the PPE scandal, the moeny spent, track and trace, the cost of lockdowns, the people who died because of Johnson's decisions or lack of them.

And if the Mail has knoves out for Johnson, who is their stalking horse. Of course, Michael Gove's wife just happens to write for the Mail.......
