I am not congratulating Johnson for condemning it.
He pretty much had to, publically, given that it makes him look appalling. In private he has probably made comments which gave rise to the article. |  | | |

But it was such a sincere condemnation. He’d obviously taken the time out of his busy schedule to craft a person, deeply felt message.

On the one hand my overly cynical mind senses an establishment stitch-up over the fact that Inspector Knacker is delaying his next iteration of speeding fines until after the local elections, thereby avoiding descending Worzel into yet further ignominy, coupled with the Privileges Committee not commencing its process of investigation and scrutiny until knacker and Gray have completed their works in progress.
On the other hand, however, this choreography of the three investigations means that Worzel's (now proven) crimes are kept in public view for an extended period of time. an earlier Privileges Committee hearing would have meant this wasn't the case. The media focus of the third instalment can therefore be solely around the issues of probity and integrity, not as to questions of mere wine- and cheese-based fact.
There is of course the possibility that no further fines on the "PM" or other senior Tories renders both Knacker: the sequel and the Gray report to be damp squibs and the Privileges Committee hanging nowhere.
However since the latter is looking at not whether Worzel illegally sipped a small sherry with his canapes but, rather, that he committed the far more serious crime of lying to Parliament, the risk of irrelevance may not be as great as it may prima facie appear.
And since the Committee is staffed and chaired by a Tory majority, any not guilty verdict will inevitably be tarred and undermined by accusations of partisanship. whatever the outcome, it carries dangers for both Worzel and his party.
With all of this being said, I'm off to buy shares in latter-day tumbril and gallows manufacturers, together with a small slice of Tyburn real estate ...  | |
