Where the Mail leads… Kirsty Walk trying to walk the same line with Emily Thornberry & Layla Moran on Newsnight but they keep stopping her and coming back to “one rule for them, another for everyone else”. Surely this is what Johnson is relying on… kick this down the road and hope that “events” take over in the press and his lie upon lie upon lie about these lockdown get togethers start to look less important. Who needs a truthful leader, we just need to move on.
The haunted pencil on saying nothing… we need to wait for… blah blah… just play for time. In the meantime… let’s talk about “more important things”. “We’re talking about a slice of cake”… no we’re talking about a prime minister’s lies, including to parliament, and attempts to cover up his social gatherings that took place when he was telling us we couldn’t do the same.
