Cruise missile from somebody so philosophically aligned with the PM.
Are they the South American ones you chop up and sniff?
Sober delivery of his Covid19 update from Johnson.
It was almost as if it was a final summing up of the achievements under his watch before he skulks off (with David Davis's knife in his back)...
Actually, to be fair to Davis, that knife was delivered front-on!

He avoids answering anything, regardless.
Sir Tim Loughton sends a letter, Tory MP crosses the floor, David Davies sticks the knife in.
Not Johnson’s best day , is it.

to be fair he's just a backstabber, he's cut from the same cloth, self serving and epically incompetent as proven when he was Brexit secretary, see how quickly they all turn on him when before they alll brown nosed him and repeated his ridiculous BS
they all need to go

That's a shorter adaption of my favourite Cromwell quote. Which would be pretty fitting:
20 April 1653, London, England
It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place,
which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice.
Ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government.
Ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money.
Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess?
Ye have no more religion than my horse. Gold is your God. Which of you have not bartered your conscience for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth?
Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defiled this sacred place, and turned the Lord's temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices?
Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation. You were deputed here by the people to get grievances redressed, are yourselves become the greatest grievance.
Your country therefore calls upon me to cleanse this Augean stable, by putting a final period to your iniquitous proceedings in this House; and which by God's help, and the strength he has given me, I am now come to do.
I command ye therefore, upon the peril of your lives, to depart immediately out of this place.
Go, get you out! Make haste! Ye venal slaves be gone! So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors.
In the name of God, go!
He's had worse.

Geoffrey Howe moment?
Not sure I agree on this. You don't have to agree with someone or indeed find them likeable to understand that they are principled.
Every day that Johnson delays now gives him less and less control over the terms of his inevitable departure. He could have and maybe still can resign, take full responsibility and hope to have some future role in public life a la Michael Portillo. As it is the bully is heading for a very lonely place hounded out by an ever increasing pack hunting him down. His team in number 10 know his only hope of survival is to throw them under a bus and they know he is prepared to do it. Stay loyal or leak doesn't sound like a difficult choice in those circumstances.

Was told off byThe Speaker shortly after for using his phone during PMQ. BJ clearly don't give a shit anymore, just serving out his notice til he can return to burying his snout in the private sector trough
