Liar

The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom has been shown to have lied at the Dispatch Box of the House of Commons.

And it has been proven by an inquiry he set up and decided the terms of reference for, that he, held at least one party or gathering in his flat at Downing Street that reached the threashold for criminal investigation by the police.

These are the facts relating to Boris Johnson.

The Conservative and Union Party, for the most part, are OK with that.

Some broke ranks and called Johnson to resign, but many did not.

Even more did not make public their support or critism of him.

THe Ministerial Code says that any Minister that lies at the Dispatch Box should tender their resignation. However, the Prime Minister decides what the Ministerial Code is and what constitues a break of it, and seems to have decided his lies don't require he resigning.

Today's papers make for grim reading with only the Express coming out clearly in support. The Mail wants the whole report published, though that will be even worse, but that publication could be many months away, maybe even a year away.

Johnson has sworn to change the culture in Downing Street which Gray described as having a "failure of leadership". Such failure only began when Johnson was made PM, and its not going to change now.

Either the Conservatve Party is happy with a lying Prime Mnister and leader, or it isn't. He has no moral authority to lead, and so should not lead any more, he should either resign or be removed.

Meanwhile, the body politic putrifies.
