A wind from the west

I saw this telling comment on Twitter this morning (att. RedJohnSocialist): “Corbyn refused to have dinner with Trump. Johnson backed him for the Nobel Peace Prize.”

The fact is that Johnson and a number of members of his government have made clear their admiration of Donald Duck Trump.  They have got some explaining to do. 

It is worth considering why the leading international cheerleaders for Brexit were Trump and Putin,  in the face of caution/opposition voiced by an enormous range of international leaders, stretching from Obama to the Pope.   Perhaps,  just possibly,  there was something in it for the two of them ? 

It is also worth considering whether a man who has so ostentatiously modelled himself on Trump and his modus operandi,  who now presides over a daily death rate exceeding 1,000 and cumulative figures well ahead of any other European country is fit to remain in office.  (Hint: he isn’t)
