A New Era Begins

 

A new era is set to begin in the near future as Boris Johnston, the current Prime Minister steps down after a difficult week where being caught to lied regarding knowledge of Chapman Pinch MP, the then Govt Whip accusations of unwanted sexual advance, potentially sexual assault cases against men most recently at a private Carlton Conservative Club prior to appointing him.

This followed a number of instances where he had claimed to had no knowledge of or misunderstood the rules around Covid Restrictions and Cabinet gatherings that it is widely held breached them (although most instances were not of themselves a threat to Public Health, the persons involved having already been together before hand).

The expectation is he will hang on for a caretaker period while the Conservative Party selects a new Leader to whom they are invited by Her Majesty the Queen to be her Prime Minister sometime around the Autumn although things may be quicker given the array of important issues presently such as Post Brexit trading in Northern Ireland, Support for Ukraine in the War against Russia, the "Cost of Living Crisis" and Covid variant case rises causing concern.

Things were not as expected in those early weeks in December 2019 when we went to vote and in the main supporters from all backgrounds feel in dealing with the unexpected issues we faced he did a good job although mistakes were made in the early days of the Covid Pandemic.

The issue was a lack of trust and integrity with what at times seemed like glaring own goals that ultimately lead to MP's and Supporters feeling it could not go on as he appeared to unable to learn from previous errors when the benefit of the doubt had been extended.  

*As with many things in the last year or so things are subject to rapid change and so may be content  may be subject to change*
