Rachel Johnson defending her brother on @lbc.co.uk currently just blamed the "statest establishment" for the failures.
"He's getting all the blame and none of the credit" and "he did his best."
Really Rachel? Well his best was appalling. This wasn't a gold club tombola. It was a pandemic.

Former U.S. Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul said Trump is siding with Putin again, warning that pressuring Ukraine into a bad deal hurts U.S. interests and makes America look weak and unable to tell the aggressor from the victim.

Reform’s previous leader in Wales had been handed a 10 year prison sentence for being a Russian asset.
Other prominent politicians happened to be making Kremlin adjacent statements at the same time, the question “why” should follow them around relentlessly.

Ian Dunt on his Substack is repeating the lie that Starmer plans to strip asylum seekers of their jewellery and property on the beach.
He used to be a reasonable commentator but has now become so virulently anti Starmer that he cannot longer distinguish between reality and Daily Mail lies.

Returning to London, signs of collapse are everywhere - even at 7am
At first glance, it looked like a domestic argument at a bus stop. But as I drew closer, I realised this was no ordinary couple - and they weren't quarrelling about the dishwasher.

The Covid enquiry has concluded that the reality we all witnessed *was* the actual reality, and the version which Johnson, Cummings et al insisted was happening was a total fabrication.
It’s incredible that we have to have lengthy enquiries after the event to establish consensus reality now.

I remember staying up to midnight in January 2020 to hear the latest death toll from China. Doctors were dying in droves - doctors, who know how to avoid being infected. Then the Italian doctors began screaming at us to lock down. I was buying PPE by January. The UK government wasn't. Unforgivable.
Anyone watching the news could see what was happening in China & then Italy - we had the luxury of a few weeks notice to save thousands of lives but Johnson was sorting out his divorce & missing fucking Cobra meetings.
