So Boris Johnson will mark the end of his time as Prime Minister by partying while the nation is in crisis – hardly surprising. People are accusing him of having “mentally checked out” of the job – but this is how he’s behaved ever since he first entered No10.
The wellbeing of the people who elected him has always come second to his own desires and interests.
He skipped Cobra meetings to write a book while Covid was taking its grip. He enjoyed parties in Downing Street while the country was obeying lockdown rules. He even wanted to squeeze in a postponed wedding party with wife Carrie at his grace-and-favour mansion – until public outrage forced a change of venue.
