At least four others on this Board and the guy who tweeted it will have noticed. So about six in total not including the millions of Mirror readers.

Did NOT consider that

Along the lines of other Tory sleaze scandals do you reckon it'll be a: CON +1 or a CON +2?

Turns out it was a CON +3. Bet you feel pretty foolish now.

Reckon some of the Cummings momentum gave Donorgate the added push to get the +3.

Keep up the work lads, with enough angry link postings we can get to 50% by the end of the summer

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/20 ... -liz-truss

This has been hailed as a big success by Liz Truss .... her big deal reached with Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. What is their combined population?

The headline is also misleading. The reality is more like this quote from the article:

The deal otherwise echoes that between the UK and the EU, struck last Christmas Eve, with some improvements in the margins

It's more like chickens scratching a barren soil for a little grain, if lucky.

Meanwhile Boris Johnson doesn't give a XXXX about the consequences of his bigly hailed "successful Brexit deal" on the basis of which he became the PM.

He made his chief negotiator David Frost a Lord in June 2020 .....

And now Lord Frost is bleating that the NI protocol he negotiated is unsustainable!

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-57324713

Yet it was he who negotiated it and the outcome of his negotiations were hailed by Johnson as a SUCCESS!
So much so that he based his 2019 General Election campaign on it!

And while all the proverbial s**t is beginning to hit the fan, the Brexiteers' guru is finding other ways for getting his devotees to finance his life style.

Obviously his play for power and glory through association with Donald Trump is no longer the ticket he had hoped for.

On 26th of May Dominique Cummins gives 7 hours of evidence to the HOC select committee which exposes Johnson's inadequacies .....
On 29th of May Johnson finds some way to compromise Catholic wedding rules to pull a stunt and get married despite twice divorced.

Oh what lovely photos of them frolicking in the garden of No.10 with daisy chains in the hair. :-)

It certainly pushed Cummins' evidence off the head lines !!!

And there you have it. Putting everything else to one side, I just can't see what Starmer can do to recover this ground. His best option would probably be to sit tight in the hope that Johnson does something that completely destroys his own reputation with electorate.
