I am not party to any of this - It just happened in my house

I've discovered a new game for cabinet ministers to play. Let's offer BOJO our support without having to say that we ever supported him. This will be useful when we put ourselves forward in the leadership election that seems inevitable but probably won't happen. For example, let's say what a great leader he was to get us through the pandemic and how he made all the brave decisions and then later point out that he always said we were following the science so really anyone would have made those decisions. We could also add it was our view that he only said we followed the science so if it was wrong, he could blame someone else.

Meanwhile BOJO himself has a bigger problem. He has explained that he went down to the garden of No 10 to thank all the staff who were there and he believed it was a work event. It seems he didn't attend all the other leaving parties although he has seemingly forgotten, as has the mainstream media, that he was pictured chairing a virtual quiz, not usually a work event. It would also appear that he didn't realise that other people doing the quiz might have crowded themselves into small rooms.

But, leaving that aside, his problem is this. There were lots of parties going on in No 10 when there shouldn't have been. He is the overall boss of everyone who works at No 10. Does he admit he doesn't actually know what goes on there, thereby exonerating himself from blame about the parties but proving he is running the country without knowing what is going on or does he admit he did know and therefore was a party (sorry that word again) to, if not the breaking of the law, certainly going against his own advice to others. Does he condone stupidity by others or is he stupid? Not an easy choice for a man who condones bullying by others, deceit by others and is prepared to change laws to let others off.

It also now appears that BOJO and the soon–to–be Mrs BOJO may have travelled between their two homes after everyone else was told not to do such a thing. Downing Street have said that they were based at Chequers, essentially BOJO's second home, from March 16 until March 27, partly because Mrs BOJO was heavily pregnant and advised to minimise social contact. The UK's first lockdown was announced on March 23 and people were legally prohibited from visiting second homes on March 26.

Unfortunately, after this period of isolation, it was announced on March 27 that BOJO had tested positive for Covid and on April 4 Mrs BOJO told us that she had also had the main symptoms for over a week but was on the mend. The isolation in their second home hadn't worked. I'm guessing, just by logic, that if you are in your second home on March 26 when people were legally prohibited from visiting second homes, your first home becomes your second home and BOJO should not have come back to Downing Street. It is just a whole catalogue of events where those who make the rules, break the rules.

I always thought that BOJO thought of himself as a modern day Churchill and that is how he wanted to be remembered. I think he will but it may be more as John Churchill who had some memorable victories in Europe and then fell from favour, mainly due to a two–party system over which he had no control. BOJO seems to have had no control over a far bigger party system.
