I thought that nothing Johnson said or did could disgust me more than he has already; but after reading his speech (ie read the text of it - I can't bear to look or listen to him) I think I have reached a new level of contempt for him.
Self-aggrandising and self-pitying; that's all we got, an insult to all of us. It was like a party political broadcast not a resignation speech. Apparently he has achieved great things: 'getting Brexit done' (it's still not done and what has been done is mostly a disaster); 'getting this country through the pandemic' (er we got ourselves through it mostly with limited help from the Government, they were too busy partying), 'getting the fastest vaccine roll-out in Europe' (thanks to the medics who worked hard to achieve it and no you were not one of them); 'the fastest exit from lockdown' (and in the last few months Covid rates have been going up again).
And the worst one: 'leading the West in standing up to Putin's aggression in Ukraine'. Is it just me or is Johnson's willingness to use the Ukraine war as a figleaf to try mask his failings in an attempt to make himself look statesmanlike, utterly disgraceful and an insult to the Ukrainians?
We can look around us and see where Johnson's government has brought us. And no the future is not looking golden. I don't want him to leave in the Autumn because that is too much time for him to inflict even more damage. He needs to go NOW.
