Lord Frost, Raab, surprisingly the voices of reason….

Everyone saw Boris Johnson as a buffoon for years, before he became Mayor of London. He was never a buffoon; he was simply a text-book wheeler-dealer who seeks to relive what he sees as classic English politics, but unfortunately, he finds himself in a wrong era. We are no longer in the 50s…

If Boris could (but he can’t) cut out the wheeling and dealing, to simply serve in government, I don’t see anyone cleverer than he, in the present UK political set-up (across all parties). Going around staying at friends’ villas etc., is never without implications. How would you later deal with those individuals were they to cross the line? That has always been his Achilles Heel. His reluctance to deal with his erring buddies makes him vulnerable as a leader.

His supposed decision to make a comeback is really not the issue right now; the issue is all about those MPs who are coming out in support of that decision. What happens I& the Privileges Committee conclude their investigation in a few weeks and confirm Boris misled parliament? These MPs presently stating they want to reinstate him would have surely demonstrated their inability to make the right judgement? They should all lose their seats in parliament at the next general election surely!

Do the Conservative party presently have any candidate that’s better than Boris? Simple answer is: No. Even with his flaws and alleged lies, he is smarter than Rishi, Mordaunt and others put together. Why? because he got the nation to believe he is a buffoon, for years, while he plotted his path to the premiership!

A general election is the only solution and it is where we will end up shortly, despite ongoing efforts to avoid it
