Batman: Every opinion piece I read says it's a bad deal for the UK..

Any deal would have been bad for the UK but they wanted their 'sovereignty'. Now they will discover the price.

From a Kiwi living in London during the Christmas lockdown. I feel like ours was a lot more organised and co-ordindated, whereas theirs sounds to be more haphazard and piecemeal.

Boris Johnson's father (who voted Remain), applied to French citizenship...

SJB:

 

That's ridiculous - he has an 80 seat majority. Who would support such a motion? 

 

He doesn't have an 80 seat majority, the Tory led government has that. If a different Tory MP believed they could do a better job than him and could convince enough of their colleagues that they will do better then they can call for the vote and become PM in very short order. The fact is that no one probably thinks they can fix this situation and if anyone does take the leadership, they will take the blame for everything. If anyone has the ambition to be PM they will want to wait out the current shambles.

I said as much in my post following the one you quoted.

After bumbling through Covid at the expense of his subjects ( 128,075 deaths as of today), Boris continues to cover himself in glory. Sorry, I mean sleaze.

Disgraced Tory who Boris Johnson gave House of Lords seat against official advice donates £500k to party

They're not his subjects, well not unless he's taken over from the Queen. 😀

bye bye Hancock https://edition.cnn.com/2021/06/26/uk/uk-health-secretary-matt-hancock-resigns-gbr-intl/index.html

The Government insists that the Prime Minister’s decision to give Ewen Fergusson a seat on the Committee on Standards in Public Life was an “open and fair competition”.

According to multiple reports, the pair know each other from their days at Oxford University, where both belonged to the Bullingdon Club a notorious elite dining society of which former prime minister David Cameron was also a member at the same time.

Boris says that it is pure coincidence that of the 173 applicants, his dining club chum just happened to be the best candidate.

For those unfamiliar with the Bullingdon Dining Club, check our the wikipedia article where it is described as 'a truly shameful vignette of almost superhuman undergraduate arrogance, toffishness and twittishness' by Boris himself.

No petrol in Britain.

Apparently there's plenty of petrol in Britain, just a shortage of drivers to deliver it according to this article.
