Home and dry with his party, for now, possibly. But now he has people who thought their time had come who will feel cheated, a public who will still be furious, an active police investigation into him, and a possible disaster in Europe to his roster of glory.

The public loathe an obvious whitewash. If nothing happens after all this, that fury felt by anyone who couldn't spend 5 minutes with a dying loved one while he flaps his jowls over a birthday cake will only grow and grow.
Agreed. I've been offline for three hours and the news has certainly moved on rapidly since my last post. Fingers crossed we get the Gray report soon.

It is being used by Johnson's deluded supporters to try and blame the mainstream media for Johnson's current problems. Imagine a former journalist relying on such a ridiculous attack on the media to try and save his bacon.
It's the second line defence of the bully. When "It's just a joke, you've got no sense of humour!" fails, then it's a defect on the person pointing out the misbehaviour, not said misbehaviour.

Even if the letters go in, I think Ukraine will be used as a reason not to change PM at a moment of national crisis - anyone mentioning May 1940 will be thrashed by the whips until they cry.
Cressida Dick seems to have earned that Damehood.

Is it specifically Johnson?

Presumably these are the same slabbers that otherwise talk about having a "robust, fearless" press and were strongly against the recommendations in the Levenson report?

Students of Hansard are going to have a field day in decades to come, aren't they?
As I saw in a tweet in reply, we never change leader on the brink of conflict - just ask the winner of World War 2, Neville Chamberlain
And if it came down to Putin vs. Johnson, Putin would be laughing his fucking arse off.
