BORISAURUS is facing extinction, struggling in a tar pit of lies, sleaze, corruption and incompetence. Fresh allegations have emerged of partying at No 10 in May 2020, whilst the British public were having to heed strict Covid measures against social interaction in groups.
Dominic Cummings, Johnson’s implacable nemesis and the inescapable agent dedicated to his downfall, may have been the source of the latest revelations.

Johnson’s principal private secretary Martin Reynolds sent invitations to 100 people to a party at No 10 to “enjoy the lovely weather” and “bring your own booze.” Rather than answer this latest revelation of exceptionalism by No 10 directly, Johnson is hiding behind the ongoing investigation by a senior civil servant Sue Gray into other breaches of government imposed Covid restrictions as regards socialising. He has invested all his hopes in an improbable whitewash by Gray. Could this prove to be the last act in the premiership of possibly the most incompetent British prime minister ever?

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
