Johnson and the Great Escape?

I assume the 'Wee Krankie' reference is flogging the dead and skeletal horse of Nicola Sturgeon's phisog resembling that of a life expired comedy act.

She's not, and never has been, a Westminster MP. If there were a deal with the SNP then it would be their Westminster leader, Iain Blackford, who might hold Ministerial Office.

What about the nationalists is there to be frightened of?

I'm easy about it. 

2014 was supposed to be once in a generation.

By cock up rather than conspiracy (a) the EU centric Scots were told they could only remain in the EU if they voted no and (b) less than two years later they were set up to be dragged out of the EU on the coat tails of English nationalism. 

Literally the day after the referendum Gove and Cameron, the day before united with Gordon Brown as 'better together' were banging the drum over Scotland's representation at Westminster disinterring the West Lothian question.    

The effect was to nullify once in a generation. 

That doesn't mean I favour Scottish independence; with ill will on the English side it could make Brexit look like a tea party. 

England centric government in London has set Sturgeon's stall out with no effort at all needed on her part.  

Unless he hits a very lucrative after dinner speech scene wider than his cummerbund, I don't think the UK has seen the last of Boris.

I copied this picture from The Guardian into an email I sent to my Tory MP to mark the occasion.



Word, which I was using to compose the message, has a feature that automatically adds 'alt text' to pictures based on its analysis of the content. For this one, it offered 'A person with her mouth open'.

A less than flattering photo of the PM there WDB, the trough must have been refilled.

However in some countries the Prime Minister would not have resigned but hung on.

It is a shambles though and an embarrassment. But we are not quite a banana republic yet...
