#Johnson takes most of the responsibility, he was Prime Minister after all.

The Ministers follow him in the chain of responsibility - they were elected after all.

The advisers advise them and then they make the decisions.

So the buck stops with Johnson, Sunak, Hancock and the cabinet. That is what they are elected & paid to do.

It amuses me that people are trying to deduce #Johnson's likely strategy during his appearance at the #covidinquiry next week. As if he isn't just going to bumble and mumble a load of bollocks, like he always does.

Hancock and Javid especially were trying to place the blame on Cummings.
But he wasn't at fault, they all were! They were the politicans.

Cummings isn't a scapegoat for their poor decisions - #Johnson in particular. He wanted the big job and failed to step up when required.

All of us in the UK, don't need him to whitewash what happened during Covid - we were there & we remember.

Text from article:
Because Johnson couldn’t get Republican votes to take up the government-funding resolution under normal procedures, he instead had to suspend the rules and pass it with a two-thirds majority. This meant that Democrats would have to bail him out — just as they had McCarthy.

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Tex.) taunted during the floor debate: “It is the Democrats who have come to save America and to stop this dastardly shutdown.”

It was true. Two hundred nine of 211 Democrats voted for Johnson’s 60-day stopgap. But 93 Republicans voted against it — three more than the number who opposed McCarthy’s 45-day stopgap in September before they booted him from the speakership.

Will Johnson, after three weeks on the job, now face the same fate?

Unlikely, for a simple reason: House Republicans have now proved beyond all doubt that absolutely no one can govern them.

So #Johnson carried the bill in his womb and delivered it despite the dire prognosis by the #Democrats, #WhiteHouse, #MitchMcConnell, and #SusanCollins.

Everybody knows that this bill is dead on arrival, but they pushed it through anyway — know, they hate abortion.

They delivered it nonetheless, and they would rather see it die in the Senate or in the White House.

it is a major test for the ruling UK conservative party - #Byelections triggered when MPs leave their post between election cycles:
Ex PM #Johnson 'stood down to avoid being suspended over a report that found he misled MPs over #Partygate. #Adams quit after being passed over for a peerage. #Warbuton quit after being investigated over claims of harassment and drug use'.

"#Starmer lied to become #Labour leader and has lied ever since. He is, regretfully, about as trustworthy as Boris #Johnson as a result. In fact, he may be worse. I am almost inclined to think Johnson was sufficiently detached from reality to not know how often he lied. Starmer is lying quite deliberately" – @RichardJMurphy

From the author of this Times exclusive, Steven Swinford, on Boris #Johnson #whatsapp messages:

'Boris Johnson has been unable to give the #Covid #inquiry Whatsapp messages from his old iPhone because he has forgotten #passcode

Government security experts trying to establish if they can stop the iPhone erasing itself if passcode is wrong'

That’s quite some shade the Guardian is throwing there. You love to see it.

A screenshot of an entry on the Guardian newspapers UK politics live blog. It reads:
“Kevin Rawlinson writes:

Carrie and Boris Johnson have announced the birth of their third child, a second son.

Carrie Johnson, in the caption of an Instagram post with a picture of her holding the newborn, joked: “Welcome to the world Frank Alfred Odysseus Johnson born 5th July at 9.15am. (Can you guess which name my husband chose?!)”

The former prime minister Boris Johnson is keen to be thought of as a scholar of the classics. In Greek mythology, Odysseus leaves behind his wife and child to seek adventure, encountering many other women along the way.”

I mean the #DUP for taking the bribe that May gave them to prop her up? Then they fell for the lies of the #ERG who claimed to care about NI, who then went onto replace her with #Johnson

I mean all of those who voted for the #Tories in 2019, who subjected all of us who live in #United Kingdom to Prime Minister 'Boris' Johnson.

The responsibility lies for this mess goes while beyond the #Brexit Zealots of 2016. This mess has been 40 years in the making!

Seven years ago today - a bunch of liars, cheats and con-men convinced enough people mainly in England if we are being honest to vote for a disastrous act of self own.

In the following years there has been pain, tears, anger and rage - that's mainly just been #Johnson at what has happened to the #UK union

I voted Remain because we in Northern Ireland knew exactly what it meant for us, if we left the EU for the delicate balance that had been found here!

That vote destroyed the
