Bear Trap

It would appear that Keir Starmer has set an enormous bear trap for Boris Johnson by offering to resign if issued with a fine over the Durham campaigning curry.

Boris is now in a trap. Regardless of whether Starmer receives a fine or not, he has made a huge point about Johnson's integrity. My guess is that he's certain of being exonerated once more. He is a lawyer, after all.

As for the event itself, the focus of the Conservative propaganda machine is the pre-planning of the meal. If you've spent the entire period from 2016 not considering the consequences of the policies you develop or support, then it's no surprise that the concept of pre planning a meal while out campaigning is totally alien. After all, Boris Johnson has spent his entire period as prime minister having to battle with the consequences of his consequence-free policies, and little else. Humans, as someone has pointed out, need food and drink to survive.

Those defending Johnson on social media seem blissfully unaware that Cambridge Analytica did not select them for their intelligence, but their gullibility and ability to unquestioningly take orders without thinking.

Meanwhile, the utterly contemptible morons at Conservative Central Propaganda HQ have been eerily quiet as they try and find a way to insist Keir Starmer should stay in his job if found guilty, just hours after calling him a hypocrite for not promising to resign.

There is concern among Labour MPs, however, about the impartiality of the police officer selected to reinvestigate Starmer.
