On the 7th of July, Boris Johnson stood in front of the famous door of 10 Downing Street and addressed the nation with these words –
“I want you to know that from now until the new Prime Minister is in place, your interests will be served and the government of the country will be carried on.”
He then proceeded to go on holiday twice, cosplayed as a soldier, flew in a fighter jet, had two large parties and refused to make any decisions or take any action, because that would be the job of the next prime minister.
It was less the behaviour of a prime minister in a crisis than the wish list of a ten-year-old.

What was the Cabinet doing? Either campaigning to beccome the next prime minister, or talking about why they backed the horse they did in that particular race.
Tories have allowed Johnson to squat uselessly in Downing St for far too long.
inflation to 18%,
raw sewage in beaches
energy cap rising
families struggling
strikes
shortages
Zombie Tories can’t even run a leadership contest properly in the national interest— Chris Bryant (@RhonddaBryant) August 22, 2022
Now, as the countdown to the new prime minister – Liz Truss …it’s going to be Liz Truss – reaches the final few days, Boris Johnson has embarked on a ‘farewell tour’, to promote and celebrate his legacy.
No, really!

There literally is no end to his vanity. Cost of living spiralling out of control and he wants a lap of honour with people clapping him like seals. https://t.co/xXJEEQOwtK
