Car crash interviews show the Conservatives’ biggest liability in #CPC21 is their leader
Coward: Boris Johnson hid in a fridge once to evade difficult questions. Now he is being forced to face them – and has no answers.
Boris Johnson can’t say anything right, can he?
Listen to these diabolical responses to TV interviewers – on shortages caused by Brexit:
“They've been telling you about these shortages coming down the track… You haven't done anything about it.”@GaryGibbonC4 asks Boris Johnson if he had a plan to tackle labour shortages after Brexit. pic.twitter.com/GOm64s7Q0F

On crimes against women (pay close attention at 3 minutes 30 seconds when he says he wants to concentrate on real crimes – whatever he means by that):
BBCBreakfast: On #BBCBreakfast the Prime Minister Boris Johnson spoke about the murder of Sarah Everard and violent crimes against women.

Asked about crime against women Boris Johnson replies “What we need to do is concentrate on real crime”
His bumbling words are dangerous, and offensive to everybody #bbcbreakfast pic.twitter.com/I2GBMahlqz— Alistair Canlin (@alcanlin) October 5, 2021
Boris Johnson tells @BBCBreakfast period between a complaint being reported to police & its dismissal in court “is taking far too long”
That might have something to do with a 25% budget cut to the CPS, a 30% reduction in staff & closure of half our courts pic.twitter.com/Ln4nD5yhQ8

Johnson’s lieutenants aren’t faring any better.
In addition to Kit Malthouse’s rinsing on Sky (above) I now have video of the confrontation between Jacob Rees-Mogg and Dominic Hutchins, who had to prove he still had cerebral palsy – a lifelong condition – to a Tory-employed benefits assessor, and whose job was taken away from him by Tory cuts. This is hard to watch:

Have YOU donated to my crowdfunding appeal, raising funds to fight false libel claims by TV celebrities who should know better? These court cases cost a lot of money so every penny will help ensure that wealth doesn’t beat justice.

What goads me is how the Tories always wrap themselves in the flag. I’m reminded of the saying that the last refuge of a scoundrel is in patriotism and it’s true. They like to style themselves as tough on law and order – certainly they make the most draconian laws and remove freedoms but whilst they make themselves out the ‘strong’ party for the armed forces and police it is they who have always made the deepest cuts and even when not making cuts they move money into buying entirely unnecessary nukes to point at China to the detriment of our already much diminished troops..
“dismissal in court “is taking far too long”
Much as I expect Johnston would like it to be “dismissal”, he did in fact say “disposal”.
