NOTE: Since this article was published, my Twitter account was hacked — seemingly by the same group that hacked a number of liberal and left leaning voices recently, including Oxford MP Layla Moran. The hackers deleted all my tweets, which meant the video I had posted at the bottom of this article of Boris Johnson saying reprehensible things was also deleted. I thank my friend Jon Atkinson for hosting it below.

Since the article was published, Boris Johnson HAS ended mild Covid restrictions in an attempt to save his arse, amid a wave of mass infection and the highest death rate in almost a year. We need to ensure this act of homicidal selfishness does not go unpunished.

Before Christmas, when leading scientific experts were cautioning about Omicron surging out of control and causing NHS services to be forced into meltdown and have to declare critical incidents, Boris Johnson chose instead to listen to the hard-right. To rabid backbenchers who pushed the country into a deranged extreme Brexit, to sinister owners and editors of toxic and tawdry racist newspapers and grubby ‘classical liberal’ (cruel, antiquated hard-right) magazines. To the money-obsessed shadowy figures who fund the Tory Party and drive policy from their stately homes and sunny tax havens.
