‘In the balance’: divided Tories weigh up PM’s position before Sue Gray report

  1. Really it comes down to the known facts that the Prime Minister clearly broke his own rules prohibiting social gatherings (“party” or otherwise) and mandating social distancing multiple times in private while simultaneously chastising the population for doing so in public. He must also have had knowledge that the majority of his staff were doing the same thing and yet he did absolutely nothing to stop it. How can that not be a clear case for removal? The man has absolutely zero moral authority and has disgraced his office. How can the Tory party turn around to people who couldn’t attend the last hours of a loved ones life or attend the funerals of their family members or friends and say this man is still an “honourable gentleman” worthy of leading the country? What about the people who suffered severe loneliness and depression because they were following the rules the Prime Minister set? Some people even committed suicide because they couldn’t cope with the social distancing while Boris & chums were having regular boozy parties.

    That would be bad enough but then he very clearly lied to the public multiple times about it before going on to knowingly mislead parliament until it became impossible to deny. Not only that but it’s alleged he had a party in his flat on the 13th of November 2020 which was 3 days before he took a meeting with 5 MPs [who all then went on to develop Covid](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54956076) and had to go into self isolation… I wonder if they’ll vote to keep him if it comes to it? He was risking not only his health but potentially disabling the government and he lied to the public yet again claiming efficient social distancing was taking place in Downing Street while he must have known it wasn’t.

    As for the apology he gave he’s not sorry he did it at all he’s just sorry he got caught out like a child. If the Tories keep him they are even worse than I thought.
