Boris Johnson’s return ‘reminds us what we’re voting against’ | Giles Coren
“I imagine his motivation is the sudden realisation that he has three more children that have to go through private school and bloody hell 20 per cent on VAT really isn’t funny.”
Rishi Sunak’s decision to being back Boris Johnson “reminds us what we’re voting against”, says The Times’s Giles Coren.

A friend's dad died of covid while that toxic clown partied. The friend was a lifelong tory voter. He isn't anymore. Coren's comment shows utter contempt for those that followed the rules and who lost loved ones over that period.
My dad died not from Covid, but because he couldn't see a doctor and get properly assessed. He was turfed out of hospital in one day, because of Covid, and died in the same hospital there three weeks later, from a treatable condition, having had no visitors for a week. He had about fifteen people at his funeral because of restrictions. Seeing that silly little man smirking as he gloated about having parties, whilst spraying spittle everywhere, will make the sight of the Tory party's corpse more beautiful tomorrow

@@Withnail1969 No, they really didn't. Labour were investigated for a single potential breach and no breach was found. The Tories were found to have held 12 gatherings which did breach the law at the time and offered in their defence the argument that they simply misunderstood the rules which they were responsible for introducing. Boris didn't lost the premiership for that (although it was a contributing factor - it added to the pile of occasions where senior Tories were sent out to deny something that was almost immediately then admitted, and ultimately it was doing that which caused them to kick him out), but he did lose his seat for lying to Parliament about it. This is not both sides being as bad as each other.

He’s become a self parody that Mr Johnson. Read “ How they broke Britain “ by James O’Brien
People are angry about party gate not because they couldn’t ’have a party’, but because they couldn’t attend their mums funeral.
People willing to forget partygate sums up why the Tories are so entitled and arrogant. Because we, the great British public, are so servile and pathetic and they can get away with it
People who aren't angry about partygate essentially lack basic human empathy, any sense or morality or collective responsibility. People literally couldn't see their loved ones as they died awful deaths, because of the rules the tories made, that they themselves didn't obey. If you can't understand that there is something wrong with you; it's called being a tory.

"Don't let the Putinistas usher in the Corbynistas"? Surely the other way around? More cosplay 'Churchill' from BoJo?

Well, thanks for reminding us you still have a pulse Boris.
Giles Coren "I had parties too " Translation I am entitled, the rules don't apply to people like me ?
The Queen sat alone at her husband's funeral, whilst Boris had a Party.
True voters didn't need to be reminded.
So, Giles Coren doesn't care about partygate because he had parties too. Confirms what I've always thought about Giles Coren. Such a very lovely sister though. Funny how siblings can be poles apart, likeability-wise.

Johnson's speech wasn't meant to shore up the Tory party. He was just sticking his toe in the water to see if the time is ripe for him to make a come-back; self-interest all the way. It would appear to be the consensus view that the time is not ripe.
