Getting to be like it was with Trump. Every new wave of lies and corruption brought “this is the one that will bring him down” from the political ITK crowd. And it never fooking did.

Indeed. Sunak hasn’t lied about it though I guess
Barrister Adam Wagner, an expert in Covid laws, said: “The legal question for the Prime Minister is whether he participated in the gathering.
“The fact that he was photographed holding a beer strongly suggest he did and therefore committed a criminal offence of the regulations
I'm not sure about that.
I'm pretty sure from memory that Sunak has said he totally accepts the PM's word that there had been no parties but if he was at one with soft drink in tow then clearly not only did he know about parties but he knew the PM was lying and thus by extension he was lying when he said that. He might not have said it in the house (can't remember) but it shouldn't make a difference.
I am sure there were other instances as well when they were scrambling to support him.

Part of that is down to mechanisms. Short of impeachment or declaring them medically incapacitated, there is no way to get rid of a US President during his term. With the UK Prime Minister, all it takes is enough members of their own party thinking they should go. Which, given those members alone get to choose from amongst themselves who the replacement will be (doesn't even default to the previous second-in-command), is no big deal.
Or they could lose an important vote in the Commons (which would also require a significant rebellion by the PM's own party), which does not require the legal basis or level of proof as with impeachment.

Yep. 3 months of this now and he is happily sat there still, flicking the Vs. It’s almost as if the pundit class Emma Kennedy-commentariat simply don’t have a clue.
In the spirit of reconciliation and happiness at the end of the Banter Era (RIP) and as a result of promotion I have cleared out my ignore list. Look forwards to reading your posts!

We're too politically impatient in the UK, want everything to happen instantly. The Germans are happy to wait weeks to form a government (the Belgians months), we're screaming if things don't happen in days.
The fact this situation is still building a head of steam, rather than having died away, shows that it's not over yet. Coming over the horizon are the local elections in May. They'll either overthrow Johnson in fear before that, or, if they get hammered, ditch him afterwards. That's if it doesn't all come to a head before (e.g. triggered by a mishandling of the collapsing Northern Ireland Executive).
