As their former elected leader, Johnson’s behavior reflects on the Tory party (Reuters)

Boris Johnson, in his appearance before the privileges committee, showed the public exactly what they had voted for and why he was such a damaging choice. He is literally incredible and, as their elected leader, it reflects on his Tory party.

The winner of the referendum of lies in 2016, the election of lies in 2019, and master chef of the oven-ready deal left the proceedings along with other attendees to vote on the Windsor Framework. He was one of 22 members of the Tory party – including former leaders Liz Truss and Iain Duncan-Smith – who voted against the motion.

We see yet another U-turn in action, and an effective return to a beneficial status quo for what has become a privileged part of the union. It is a repair necessitated by Brexit that Rishi Sunak has commended as the best of both worlds for Northern Ireland, and parliament seems to agree.
