Tyrant Boris thinks he Trumps the law

LAWS are only for little people in Boris Johnson’s elitist world, as he again behaves like a tinpot tyrant.

The Prime Minister breaking the EU divorce deal he negot iated, signed, passed and won an election with is raving madness.

Incompeten­t, shameless serial liar creates untrue alternativ­e facts in his Trump tribute act.

The only part of his failing virus testandtra­ce system that is worldbeati­ng is its ineffectiv­eness.

Scientists telling me the Government is considerin­g a 10pm curfew while Whitehall officials muttering about plans to put children who live with grandparen­ts into care underlines the panic in Downing Street as the pandemic’s second wave starts.

Just as Johnson’s dithering cost thousands of lives, his European deceit is mutating a once-admired Britain into a rogue state.

Tony Blair and John Major uniting yesterday to condemn a successor was damning – yet dismissibl­e by the PM’s apologists because they both campaigned to keep us in Europe.

Impossible to smear as easily, and therefore explosive, is the broadside from Brextremis­t Michael Howard, an anti-EU cheerleade­r and former Tory leader understand­ably alarmed by Johnson’s lawbreakin­g.

I’ve no confidence Tory MPs will do what’s best for the nation and insist the law is obeyed by a chancer who pretended he had an oven-ready Brexit deal.

Johnson is criminally a repeat offender with form, unlawfully suspending Parliament and gifting chief aide Dominic Cummings a lockdown exemption free pass.

But Conservati­ve MPs and voters are increasing­ly nauseated by a PM flopping badly on the virus and Europe – with a job-destroying no-deal economic crunch a growing possibilit­y. No government negotiatin­g trade agreements will trust a charlatan who goes back on his word so easily. Whenever trade unions threaten to break the law, Tories demand that the general secretary be locked in the Tower of London and HQ doors be padlocked. Blaming others for what he agreed and sold on Ireland demonstrat­es Johnson is a fraud unfit for high office. Tory MPs are split between those who decry his law-breaking and antilaw Brexiteers rebelling against England’s sixperson lockdown limit. Fast approachin­g is the day when they’ll unite to strike against an embarrassm­ent to their party and our country.

We are not there yet – but it’s coming closer.
