Sorry isn’t enough.. While the UK obeyed the rules and remained in, confined to homes Whitehall partied.

While many were unable to say goodbye to loved ones, hold a hand of the dying, throw a flower on a grave, the Johnsons partied. In the redacted version of the report the evidence is clear.

Can we trust a man and his colleagues who make the rules then don’t keep them?

Can you trust a man who is economical with the truth, who seems to think he is above the law, for whom standards in public life don’t apply and they can be bent at will, regardless of advice, to suit his purpose?

From Cummings to wallpaper he has been mired in scandals, protected his friends to protect his own back. His ministers claim he is but human and he made a mistake, and another, and another ad infinitum.

If the country is to have faith in government then there must be leader we can trust. He promises to change things – again. Can a Leopard change its spots?
