A fish rots from the head down

Former Conservative Prime Minister, John Major, said these extraordinary words yesterday:

“There is a general whiff of ‘we are the masters now’ about [the govt’s] behaviour. I think this is cutting through to the public. This has to stop and it has to stop now.”

And added:

‘This Govt has done things that have concerned me deeply. They have broken law - illegal prorogation of parliament. They have broken treaties - N Ireland Protocol. They have broken their word on many occasions’

Or this by former Conservative MP and now Times columnist, Matthew Paris:

"There's another version. That Johnson is a cad, a moral vacuum and a stranger to loyalty, probity and even friendship. That he lives in a squalid and solipistic world and cares only for number one. He has been infurated by inquiries into his own integrity: the holiday villas, the financing of the Downing Street flat decoration, lies about the EU withdrawl agreement, the taxpayer-funded jollies for girlfriends and lives in fears of Stone's further inquiries. That he has simply been using Owen Patterson as a convenient vehicle in order to harness other Tory MP's dislike of scrutiny and turn the Patterson case into a wider assualt on the whole parliamentary standards process. That his chief whip tried to warn him off this course of action and sounded out MPs so he could present the results to the PM and stop him proceeding. But that Johnson had been determined to piggy-back on Patterson, get rid of Stone, avenge himself on his inquisitors and tame thow whole parliamentary standards process before it threatened him personally."

He has poisoned the Conservative Party, put JRM as leader of the COmmons, and together they were found by the Supreme COurt to have given the Monarch unlawful advice. Mogg railroaded bill after bill through Parliament when he couldn't just avoid the House altogether, giving sometime just a couple of hours to bills and policies that would rebalance the entire enconomy.

He has decided time and time again to over-rule independent verdicts on his Monisters having broken the Ministerial Code, where he decides what the Code is. And because if his Ministers are held up to the Code, so would he.

Now this brazen attempt to abolish the Standards COmmittee in the Commons, still being defended in the media this weekend, even after how undemocratic it was.

In order to divery attention from this and the sewage being pumped into our rivers and the sea, Johson will ramp up Brexit and drown everything else out, as Brexit unites his party, well, the backbenchers.

THis will not end well.

The Independent newspaper today reported that Brexit has cost 178 times the value of the trade deals so far negotiated by Liz Triss.

What has Johnson done to this once great country.....
