Deluded Boris Johnson ’s further out of touch than we realised if he actually believes he’s still an electoral asset for the Conservative Party.
Terrible opinion poll ratings, large numbers of voters not believing a word the lying lawbreaker tells us he’s unpopular.
Then there are all the Tory election leaflets that don’t carry photographs of the gurning PM, plus a recent party political broadcast that did not mention him by name or show his face.
These days deceitful Johnson is an asset for Labour and other opposition parties and if Tory MPs find their backbones, he could be deservedly ousted from Downing Street.
Reports that Whitehall investigator Sue Gray’s inquiry will be absolutely damning when published, and one official being quoted as predicting Johnson would be required to resign, is another setback for the PM.
Yet a man without integrity or honour won’t quit. He’ll need to be fired by Conservative MPs desperate to save their own skins.
Save our cash
One in every four cash machines and half of all banks shutting in recent years is a hammer blow for the vulnerable, people on low incomes and the elderly.
Because they are most likely to rely on physical money in everyday life so they’ll be penalised unless the Government keeps an unfulfilled two-year pledge to protect cash.
Everybody should be free to choose between using cash or cards without paying a price for the right to do so.
When people in poor communities feel most severely the loss of hole-in-the-wall machines and bank branches, introducing a law to keep them open – or requiring them to be reopened – would champion fairness and social justice.
The Gypsy Win
The world is in Tyson Fury’s hands after he said he’d hang up his boxing gloves.
Ringside seats will be highly prized whatever he does, the Gypsy King is likely to be box office whether it’s fighting or tiddlywinks.
