Does anyone else think that
@BorisJohnson
thought being PM would be a bit like being Queen, wave, attend functions and make the occasional video and speech? It’s looked for some time that the hard work required has come as a bit of shock to him and he didnae fancy it.

“So sad all those people going to foodbanks and sleeping on the streets. So to cheer them up I suggest we gather round my gold piano with a rendition of My Old Man’s a Dustman. That’ll take their mind off the cold and hunger for a while. Do you see how hard being Queen is now?”

It appears it’s acceptable for Tory politicians, Minsters and MPs to Visit their second homes or parents and no resignations or media hounding such as we’ve just seen in scotland, yet I’ve not seen my mum for over two weeks and she stays less than a mile away. Two sets of rules😠
