Ten days from now, parliament is due to close down for three months; three months in which the PM will have even fewer checks on what he can do than he does now. It is only convention which requires a caretaker PM to merely administer as best he or she can (a low bar in this case); but for someone unbound by convention who probably believes that if he can only pull off some masterstroke or other all will be forgiven (and his resignation speech showed no indication of any understanding that he might in any way be to blame for anything), three months provides a lot of opportunity to do a lot of damage.John Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447224248021209852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411161795798360588.post-78531819654328400282022-07-07T15:21:16.144+01:002022-07-07T15:21:16.144+01:00You need not fret about Johnson.

Doing time as a caretaker is meant to make things easier, but in this case it just means that nothing will get done ! There may be much chatter about what needs to be done but this Tory government's long term inability to deliver anything other than disasters suggests that nowt will change until they get shown the door. That said their prospective replacements in the Labour Party don't fill me with enthusiasm and optimism either. Time to head for the exit. Sharpish.<br /><br />Whichever way it all goes you will have a steady stream of Westminster wallies lining up as targets well into the future. Comment seen elsewhere – ” People you’ve never heard of, resigning from jobs you didn’t know existed, because all of a sudden they want us to believe they have found integrity. ” Spot on, sums up the entire mess in Westminster and much fodder for the Borthlas pen.dafishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04216920242825385976noreply@blogger.com
