Boris Johnson resign

Time to Break Out

Never before have I witnessed
Contempt for the truth on this scale
As ministers queue up to lie to
Defend an intolerable tale

They feel their careers’ are unthreatened
That there’s nothing can bring them to book
As long as they just keep on lying
They don’t care how all of this looks

So they lie and deceive to our faces
And expect that we’ll just stay in tow
So we have to make sure that despite that
They end their careers as they go

When Cummings resigns, and he will soon
It must not be the end of this mess
All those who chose to support him
Have questions they need to address

This wasn’t some error of judgement
Or a momentary lapse under strain
It was carefully thought out and conscious
And it sought to deceive us again

These people are not to be trusted
They’ve shown such contempt for us all
We cannot and must not accept this
Let’s break ourselves out of their thrall.

Bursting the Bubble

I couldn’t conceive a more suitable case
To describe why I’d never vote Tory
Than watching our ministers leap to defend
#classicdom and his Durham trip story

The country has followed instructions
To the letter with all that entails
Often at tragically personal loss
As the common good had to prevail

It brought out the best in our nation
A courageous and mutual endeavour
Though often at deep individual cost
We stood as a nation together.

But today shows that that was a mirage
And that bubble has brutally burst
As ministers queue up to tell us
That it’s ok to put yourself first.

What message that sends to those grieving
And who’ll live with decisions they made
For them now to be told they were wrong to
All so Johnson keeps hold of his aide.
