Houchen has been one of the very staunchest Johnson supporters
He believed everyone wants to move on from talking about how Johnson broke rules most followed
Houchen with a life time peerage for saying 'move on, nothing to see here' as a virtually full-time role
It is not a passing idea that style should trump substance when it comes to governing. You don't need a huckster to run a country, you need people who diligently, fairly, accountably, honestly lead
When evasion, lying, aggressively attacking critics, spending public money like water, and painting all who challenge as unpatriotic is your go to management style, it is perhaps right Johnson is done

Houchen says the coffers are empty, but he is sure the party will come up with something as part of a last gasp election campaign
Are you completely sure on that?
How much air cover will be lost?
You saw Houchen on Newsnight say he will hit Andy McDonald with a defamation case if he says similar outside of parliament. Well here he is in @BylineTimes
This woman is one who cannot move on
I wonder how many are rethinking their 'kangaroo court' and 'witch-hunt' accusations? A number who just received honours
A startling case in point here. Is this serving the country and deserving of such an honour? Andrea Jenkyns MP E @andrea...

For contrast this is local child poverty
Many are rightfully angry
We have been lied to and let down
We need a big rethink
Note who impugns the inquiry and any investment they have in Johnson not throwing yet more people under big red busses bylinetimes.com/2019/09/26/cab…

If McNamara's name rings a bell it may be from this. Allegedly confirming there was no pandemic response plan
Will Johnson, Cabinet Office, et al now get out of the way of the #CovidInquiry? One sadly suspects not

Why share this now you wonder?
We await still await any news about the outcome of this ask for evidence linked to another potential court case

One thing I will not miss when it is gone is Rees-Mogg's patrician drawl. His vision for the country is quite the opposite of freedom promised for almost everyone
A thread with perhaps useful context
A longer one with more background

One has to wonder what kind of constant fear some will live in knowing the secrets that Johnson had access to via WhatsApps, official briefings, and various international contacts
What bets they may be taking on who has been demonstrably loyal enough not to fall foul of his wit in upcoming writing. People who helped him make the bed we lie in and then, perhaps belatedly or only in private, realised the post hoc implication of his malleable loyalties
Means Vs ends, with means now being laid bare and ends not at all what was promised except for a very narrow set of interested parties. Some of whom a past caught up with

Do we need to school children to accept the status quo and historical definition of morals? Do we force agreement with the prevailing ethos that they are rejecting? An ethos that has shaped them, their parents and their peers for 13yrs and the lion's share of the 50yrs preceding
I abhor the culture wars and the moral panics about curricula and schools while so many are struggling. Millennials (oldest now 40+ with most of their adult life under this government) and the internet native gen Z are not stupid. Trust your young people
In short I agree with Martin Wolf

This is the kind of conduct that leads me to doubt government focus on representing the people
The opposite of the aspired to accountability, integrity, personal responsibility, and transparency
The #CovidInquiry could have worked to restore some trust in those commitments to better

This while working to weaken the rights and oversight bodies upon which AI safety would hinge is quite extraordinary. Deregulatory fervour had been the theme of the last 7 years
We are hunting unicorns while a lot of the infrastructure to support growth is in need of investment. Higher education harder to access while we need a workforce and environment that can power change
Venture capitalists need to trust the UK, but unless we innovate in the governance space to partner speculative investment, we are at risk of growing a bubble while the existing one has signs of bursting
