Boris Johnson has announced that he is not standing to be re-elected as PM by Tory MPs. Earlier, Johnson’s supporters were claiming he had over a hundred confirmed nominations.
Was the hype about to be exposed, or did Johnson realise his lockdown criminality would end his run – or something else?
The Tory contest appears now to be a two-horse race between Sunak and Mordaunt, monstrous-A and monstrous-B – with their understudy Keir Starmer waiting in the wings, all promising more politically-driven and entirely needless austerity. The country is screwed.
