Beware the wounded animal

Last night, the Prime Minister lost control of Parliament in the same way that his predecessor did. However, this one is dangerous - he has advisors who know how to manipulate the situation. He has already called his opponents traitors. He will surely continue to mark out any opposition as "contrary to the will of the people". He will try to position himself as the one true saviour of the masses.

He is none of those things. He is a proven liar - now he is showing himself to be a bully. Rees-Mogg repeatedly defied the government line and didn't get sacked, but this time, it only took one vote and 21 Tory MPs have had the whip withdrawn. So, the PM is a charlatan as well. No surprise there.

There will surely be a motion to call an election. The huge danger is that "Johnson the Saviour" will be trotted out (although not allowed to speak, for fear that he messes up) and everyone else will be blackened by the Tory propaganda machine. The Brexit Party will surely join in the attack on anyone who opposes crashing out of the EU. Why? Because the people who finance the Brexiteers (whether Tory or Brexit Party) want to protect their interests. They don't give a damn about "the people".

Now is the time for realism. Now is the time to expose the lies for what they are.
