The sickness ailing the Conservatives runs deeper than Boris Johnson | Gaby Hinsliff

The party will be unable to force its next choice of leader on to a country in dire need of a general electionPhotograph: Jessica Taylor/APPhotograph: Jessica Taylor/APike a dog that could not be sorrier for chewing the sofa, it was a contrite prime minister who prostrated himself before parliament this week. Dogs are never truly sorry, of course. They have learned that if they whimper, hang their heads and look pathetic when caught, they can defuse their owners’ anger.

Great - especially the first paragraph!

gabyhinsliff Johnson has all the properties of a dog, except loyalty

Exactly this. For all the noise about the PM and his staff, the really worrying thing is the libertarian thread running through the party. It seems to hold exceptional power for a group of ”fringe“ MPs. This is why, as a previous Tory voter, I won’t support them again.

gabyhinsliff Carefully rearrange these words SHIT NO & SHERLOCK . You get paid for this ? The Guardian , doing Sterling work speaking truth to power ( except when it really matters)

Well, duh

Dishonest Boris.The lies and deception should not have ever happened in the first place. Why should the British public ever trust them again. When we vote you will go. Try being honest.

as Trump said....'Drain The Swamp'

It's par for the course for the Tories. They're always like this, Johnson or no Johnson. Corruption, cronyism, scandal, populism and lies have always come easy to them. ToriesOutForever

Christine Lee a Chinese spy is not news for this ‘newspaper’

100% agree. Time to go PM Johnson. Turn the lights off as you leave - and please take your hypocritical bantamweight with you... BorisJohnson Jacob_Rees_Mogg

All the party animals of Downing Street are ridiculous clowns. I condemn the party before the funeral of the Royal Member. Their days on power will finish.
