Presumably someone knew about this for a year. And they've waited until just before Christmas to release it - and not all at once. They drip-fed allegations, waited for ministerial denials, then a few days later released damning video footage. I have 2 theories:
- The media are looking for a scalp. Boris preferably, or perhaps Keir if he doesn't take the fight to the PM satisfactorily.
- Rishi Sunak supporters. There's a perception that Boris needs to go, and the 1922 committee will show their hand soon.
- Anti lockdown supporters. It looks like we may have to lockdown further before Christmas, and they're hell bent on undermining the PM's ability to do it.
What worries me is that no-one in the media is asking these questions. Which makes me think they're complicit.
AIBU to think we're being played like fools here?
