He’s been keeping a very low profile, you do wonder what’s up.

Perhaps the Torys are trying to keep the PR disasters out of the limelight. It isn't working as there are always plenty of others waiting in the wings.

The PR disasters are their greatest asset, not least Johnson

It's a messed up world where generating controversy is the governments MO

It's a fine line to walk , but even with 5 FPNs for COVID rule breaches to his name, you wouldn't rule out Johnson being the next PM

There are 50+ ? ongoing investigations into MPs of a similar, if possibly less serious nature. these are just the ones who've been caught. Multiple MPs have superinjunctions protecting them/ their families eg Gove or NDAs with their victim eg Johnson

Far from rule it out, I think it's reasonable enough to assume it's going to be a thing. The only thing stopping him will be the Tories themselves deciding they want a change of leader.

The saddest thing is, it doesn't have to be that way. All it takes is for the Labour party to stop its infighting and for the entire opposition to agree to a pact in the National interest. No government has ever had a majority of the vote, it's just a numbers thing. Even the Daily Mail would be powerless to stop it.

Let's just get rid of this horrendous administration. There is an alternative.

All it takes

You make it sound so simple.

No government has ever had a majority of the vote

Broken democracy system is broken.

It's very simple. You make concessions.
You either believe that they're doing irreparable damage to the country or you don't.
If you do, you do what you have to do to stop it.

Maybe not but that doesn't matter and isn't needed. They just need to win the most seats which is why beating them is far from simple.

Failing to do this condemns us to another term of Tory rule. Its a national emergency, opposition parties need to sort their shit out and treat it as such.

Rather than telling everyone why it might be a bit tricky
