Johnson partied while mums died alone. Why Brits will never forgive Conservatives

The Brit Tories, under Johnson, imposed strict Covid lockdown rules which they themselves ignored. When the truth of their partying emerged- denied in parliament by Johnson- some were fined a few dollars.

Ruthie Henshall: ‘While MPs were drinking and snogging, I was waving at Mum through a care home window’

“People were screaming outside windows at carers because they would take residents away to bring someone else’s loved one to the window. I’ve never seen so many people crying outside a building,” says Henshall, and she includes herself. After the waving visits, which she did every day, she was usually in tears too.

Boris Johnson warned against a ‘chicken run’ to a safer seat
The former prime minister could swap constituencies now that his own might be in danger at next general election

Despite the threat of being subjected to a high-profile election night toppling, Boris Johnson has vowed to stand again in his precarious Uxbridge and South Ruislip constituency. Yet should the former prime minister have a change of heart and decide to head for a safe seat that he knows well, plans are being made by rival parties to make life difficult for him.

“If Boris Johnson thinks doing a chicken run to Henley will help save his skin, he’s got another thing coming,” said a party source. “That would show just how much Johnson and other Conservative MPs are taking voters in the ‘blue wall’ for granted. The Lib Dems have already shown we can beat the Conservatives in their former heartlands. We’ve got a strong ground campaign in Oxfordshire and will fight tooth and nail to kick Boris Johnson out of parliament once and for all.”

There is still the possibility that Johnson may be forced to search for another seat if he is ousted from Uxbridge as a result of a parliamentary inquiry into his claims over Partygate. The former prime minister is being investigated over whether he misled MPs about Downing St parties and has already faced a bruising grilling from the privileges committee examining the issue.

A just result would be that Bozo is found guilty of lying to his parliament and loses his parliamentary seat for good. Otherwise the UK continues to be an object of ridicule in democratic circles.
