You know a Prime Minister is in trouble when 'hope for WW3' becomes the only remaining survival strategy. https://twitter.com/sebastianepayne/status/1485723404552577026
Could Boris Johnson be saved by…Ukraine? Senior Tories think the international crisis might shore up support.
James Gray, MP: “So what do Christian Wakeford and Vladimir Putin have in common? They may both be the very saviour which Boris Johnson needs.”

the killer tweet that appears to end the debate
Reader, she let them eat cake.
The irony of the cakeist Prime Minister being brought down by a cake.
He wanted to impose the rules on the rest of us but not on himself.
Listen to this - with what you now know
Just listen
"I was also furious"
A reminder of when Boris Johnson said he was "furious" to see footage of staff joking about holding parties in Downing Street.
All the while he knew he had attended multiple such parties himself.
The way this government is collapsing over Covid regulations chaos should have been how this government should have collapsed because of Brexit chaos
Only the hyper-partisanship of the Brexit issue saved it
The shambles is not new - only that it cannot be hidden behind Brexit
Should have just told them it was a work meeting. https://twitter.com/MPSNewham/status/1246521684246638599
After a day of stop and search and foot chases, Newham’s NTT have been called to clear a house party in Central Park Road. This family thought law relating to social distancing shouldn’t apply to 18th birthday parties. 25 guests moved on.

10 Things I Learnt from my Wife’s Cancer Diagnosis
In Jan '21 Jax was diagnosed with a rare #cancer.
She had 7 organs removed in ‘The Mother of All Surgeries’ a gruelling 8.5 hr op.
Thankfully the amazing team @TheChristie in Manc worked wonders. She starts '22 cancer free.
I’m worried for you, @BorisJohnson. At some point people are gonna stop inviting you to parties if you only ever stay for 10 minutes.
No. 10 admits "staff had "gathered briefly" to "wish the prime minister a happy birthday""... he was there "for less than 10 minutes'"
This appears a clear admission of an illegal gathering. Doesn't matter if it was 10 mins/10 hours
A "party" if you will
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-60114812
I think we’re at the stage where, adding up all the ten and twenty-minute increments that the Prime Minister spent accidentally wandering into parties, he was doing it for 25 hours every day of lockdown.
No 10 admit the afternoon birthday party. They told us:
“A group of staff working in No 10 that day gathered briefly in the Cabinet Room after a meeting to wish the Prime Minister a happy birthday. He was there for less than ten minutes.”
When your client’s mate keeps interrupting to offer their brilliant idea for a defence.
So, when people in an office buy a cake in the middle of the afternoon for someone else they are working in the office with and stop for ten minutes to sing happy birthday and then go back to their desks, this is now called a party?
“I thought I was blowing out the candles on a work cake.”
