Imagine Boris Johnson with the populist appeal and none of the chaos? Now that would be worth voting for
THE SUN SAYS The tragedy of Boris Johnson is that he made it easy for his enemies to put his tousled head on a spike.
A few short years ago, an astonishing 14million votes propelled him to an 80-seat majority at the last General Election.
On Monday — Boris’s 59th birthday — MPs will vote on whether to endorse the Privileges Committee report on Partygate and remove his Parliamentary pass.
If Bojo was still an MP — he quit a week ago — then the Partygate report would be recommending a 90-day ban, a punishment so extreme it has only ever been exceeded by Keith Vaz, who tried to tempt rent boys with Bolivian marching powder.
Now that’s what I call a party!
Boris Johnson deserves better.
But there is a horrible inevitability about the verdict of the Commons’ Privileges Committee investigating Partygate.
