The end

Alexander Boris de Piffel Johnson was eected as leader of the Conservative and Union Party in July 2019, and no matter how the party no tried to rewrite history, he didn't do a good job.

Ever.

He holds the Parliamentary record for the largest Commons defeats and the longest run of lost votes to in the House, all before November 2019 and his calling of a General Election.

He was also found to have goven the Monarch (along with the Leaders of both Houses) unlwaful advice, and yet felt no duty for resigning having been found guilty. Whether he lied is a matter of conjecture, but the fact neither he, nor any Minister of senior Civil Servant was able to sign an affidavit that the need for five weeks was needed to prepare a new legislative calendar was damning.

Such a signed document would almost certainly have won the case, and that there was no such document produced, very telling.

He then changed the backstop part of May's Brexit Agreement and replaced it with the NIP frontstop and declared this a triumph.

He won an election based on the omplementation of the WA, and MPs signed up to support it. Even then, he denied what the NIp explicitly said. That there would be a regulatory border in the Irish Sea.

And now that very border, the only substantive change from May's agreement is the reason for scrapping the NIP and staring a trad war with the EU.

And then came COVID in which he said that we were all in this together, and then went and partied. And partied on for over a year. Even as Cummings sat in the Rose Garden to try to expain his trip to Durham away, Downing Street waited with glasses in hand to drink away the evening.

The one rule for you and no rules for us.

In the end, Johnson was brought down by himself, his Cabinet resigning en masse, and leaving him as a Macbeth-like King.

200,000 people died of COVID, £37 billion spent on Test and Trave, billion more syphoned off to frends in dodgy PPE contracts and now the cost of living crisis he promised less than a year ago wasn't coming, has arrived.

He is a man, who in his jobs has lied, insulted and skivved his way through. Sacked twich for lying, that he lied in Parliament seems to surprise only the Conservative Party, which is still in denial.

A rearguard action is now being fought to derail the Parliamentary Committee investigation of whether he did lie orwas unaware of lying, and when he should have returned to correct the record. THis is not a legal process, but a political one for Parliament.

History will not be kind on Johnson, as it hasn't been for May or Cameron.

We must not forget what hapshappeend, what has been done.
