One of the reasons Brexit happened is that @David_Cameron did not want ‘blue on blue’ attacks as he thought after Remain won the Tories would have to come back together again under his leadership. It meant the Leave lies of @BorisJohnson @michaelgove etc were given free rein 1/4

Johnson shows today he has no such qualms. If he can throw DC under a big red bus to detract attention from his own failings on Covid, the stench of corruption Re Arcuri, No 10 refurb, holidays and much else, and his wilful negligence on N Ireland, he will happily do so 2/4

The tragedy for the UK is that our decline - decline in power, decline in standards, decline in standing in the world - stems from seemingly never ending divisions and competing ambitions in the Tory Party. The national interest so often takes second place. 3/4

Also whilst welcoming proper media scrutiny of Greensill and Cameron role, it would be good to see the same standards of rigour and robustness in the pursuit of the story when it comes to scandals concerning the current PM and Cabinet. This does not happen 4/4
