Over the last couple of years I've felt angry, furious, disgusted and contemptuous of the person who calls himself PM. But today, as I listened to PMQ, I felt a new emotion, namely, sheer embarrassment. Asked whether he had ever considered appointing his current wife to a government post - yes or no - he simply talked about the employment figures. Yes, I felt so embarrassed - for him, for the Commons, for myself and for the country - that I rushed to turn off the radio. I don't expect many others reacted in such a strange way. But enough really is enough, and I dearly hope that, helped also by two disastrous by-election results, the 1922 Committee will rule that another vote of confidence will be allowed. Changing rules is hardly something to which the arch rule breaker Johnson could object.

The alternative just doesn't seem to be there.

Red and Blue Army!

It"s like saying let the bloke who has drunk 20 pints drive the rest of the group home, because they have had 20 pints and a joint!

I won't be voting but the 'at least it's not X party' angle only goes so far after a party has been in power for a decade. A party really doesn't have to do much of anything to win your vote, if where people hold this as their mantra, and it's a mantra that gets you royally mugged off, as you regularly see.

Johnson is an utter tool of the highest order. The fact that so many people see him as the least worse option is a terrible reflection of the state of British politics.

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." - 1984 - George Orwell.
