Gray report paints a damning portrait of Boris JohnsonAnalysis: Guided between meetings and stumbling across parties, PM projects a sense of meekness and irrelevance I feel sorry for BoJo and I still back him. He does not need to go. However he needs to deal with pissed up little civil servants and their direct boss who needs sacking off. Especially people having fisty cuffs, rude to cleaners and throwing up at work. Sorry...they need to go. The report says the parties 'represent a serious failure to observe not just the high standards expected of those working at the heart of Government but also of the standards expected of the entire British population at the time.' What doe’s it say about, Europe and the USA, when they are prepared to do business with the UK, when we have a lying criminal (Boris Johnson) for prime minister and perverts and sex offender as MP’s?
