Not happy with Tories

- Mike, via email

IT’S been a very busy few weeks for Boris Johnson, which he has approached with all the sneakiness of the class bully.

If people ‘take liberties’ with social distancing rules he says this will lead to a spike in Covid-19 cases.

For taking liberties see your supervisor, Dom.

Newsflash Boris – more than 43,000 deaths is indicative of never containing the spike in the first place.

The almost £100m thrown at ‘world class’ track and trace, and excellent contact app, is looking very well spent.

“Name me a country with a working app,” he dared Keir Starmer in PM questions and quick as a flash the opposition leader replied “Germany.”

Now Boris has ordered the incorporat­ion of the Department Of Internatio­nal Developmen­t into the Foreign Office despite him praising its work.

As head of the National Security Council Boris has final say on who to support with aid, providing he deigns to attend meetings.

With regard to the Robert Jenrick fiasco, in which Jenrick allowed a £1bn housing developmen­t by Tory donor Richard Desmond to be fast-tracked in order to avoid a Community Improvemen­t tax of some £50m, he considers the matter closed.

The developmen­t is for luxury housing that only the foreign donors and Tory sycophants could actually afford. All in it together, eh Boris? After even more Eton waff-waff-waff he then ignored another Jenrick side deal in which he sat down with billionair­e friend and Tory donor Idan Ofer over a proposed mining deal in Yorkshire.

The original deal by Sirius

Minerals was denied planning and funding by Jenrick’s office.

His friend Mr Ofer then bought up Sirius Minerals at a vastly reduced price via his company Anglo American Mining, leaving hundreds of small investors broke.

Thatcher would be very proud as Boris is reviving her legacy of Tory MPs lining their donors’ pockets at the expense of those in real need.

I look forward to seeing which countries receive money from the Tory aid budget – it won’t be those that need it that’s for sure.
