The Prime Minister has been issued with a £50 fine, admitted criminal guilt and handed over the money. He was entitled to say, "Not guilty, Guv. See you in court," but he decided he was guilty and paid up. He is now the first ever Prime Minister of the UK with a criminal record; a distinction he can add to being the first who had three wives and is paying support for an unknown number of children.
Boris is the most gaff-prone PM ever.
Boris: "Help, I'm stuck! (And £50 poorer.)"
So should he resign? For having a party? No, because the lock-down was stupid and he should have been allowed have a party. For getting fined? No, because it's trivial, no more than a speeding ticket. For disobeying rules he made and forced us to obey? YES. For lying to parliament and saying there were no parties at Number 10? YES!
No liar or hypocrite should be Prime Minister of this great nation.
Who should replace him then?
Well this guy has been has been looking likely for a while...
Rishi: "Blimey, this is expensive!"
Unfortunately he has gone and got himself a rap sheet as well. And his wife has been avoiding her taxes. Also, he has been putting petrol in someone else's car.
So Rishi has pretty much shot himself in the foot at the exact moment he needed to be squeaky clean.
Here's a chap who thinks he is ripe for the PM job...
Gove: "My ex-wife thinks I'm the best man for PM!"
To which this blog says, "Noooo". (With a Scottish accent since he's Scottish.)
If you want a plausible candidate then this blog suggests...
Penny Morduant: Minister for Trade, previously Defence Secretary, late of Her Majesty's Royal Navy.
In the last reshuffle Boris demoted her because she was gaining too much traction. She is an excellent parliamentary MP, causing fear and consternation on the Opposition Benches, and is much favoured by the armed forces.
This blog endorses her candidacy. Although, she hasn't got a candidacy yet. But when she has, we want her.
