Party clear-up
AT a time when he needs to be focussed relentlessly on Omicron, Boris continues to be stuck at the bottom of a deep political hole of No10’s own making.
Partygate, the hangover from sleaze, a potentially disastrous by-election defeat and a mass rebellion by his own MPs over vaccine passports all add up to this week being among his toughest ever.
He needs to tackle the general sense of chaos enveloping Downing Street.
It should wound the PM deeply to see the BBC reporting him hosting a Christmas charity quiz on Zoom as if it was a scandal to rival Watergate.
Obviously, it isn’t. But Number 10’s disastrous handling of it has allowed their enemies to make hay.
A demonstration of firm leadership could start by getting those Red Wall Tories making threats to unseat him into No10 and reminding them they’re only in Parliament because of his electoral triumph all of two years ago.
The PM needs to get a grip – but so do some of his MPs.
