JUST listened to Sophie Raworth, the latest interviewer to focus on belittling the significance of PM Johnson’s partying during lockdown.
If only one of them, or their editors, would acknowledge that it is not the relative insignificance of the misdemeanours which need determine whether or not he should resign or be sent his jotters, but that we have a Prime Minister whose moral compass and reliability are clearly less than appropriate. These instances merely add weight to his unsuitability for office.

He wandered into a hospital without a mask, no doubt was similarly reckless off-camera, became seriously ill with Covid, waffles and ridicules, honestly or otherwise, in response to every question asked of him and suckered a majority of the English electorate to believe that leaving the EU was a wise move in the interests of the UK.
Perhaps his wealthy friends with financial interests abroad were passengers on his ship back then, but unless someone with a social conscience now takes the helm of the great ship Britannia, now holed below its waterline, the UK and its component nations will sink.
As for Scotland, it’s long past time to jump ship!

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
