Johnson hugs Conservative MPs close

These moves are like those of a boxer who throws his arms round his opponent in an attempt to save himself from a knock-out blow.

The two Conservative rebellions yesterday: 32 votes on self-isolation, 19 on face masks.

Fifty-three Conservatives opposed the tiering plan last December, the largest Covid-related rebellion to date.

The ten Conservative MPs who voted against the Health and Social Care Levy Bill at Third Reading

There were 44 Tory abstentions – which is in the same territory as last week’s vote on the same issue.

The forty-two Conservative MPs who voted against the Government on the 10pm curfew

Javid is Chancellor. Tugendhat, Foreign Secretary. May, Home Secretary. Introducing the Alternative Cabinet.

The real one is widely and correctly dismissed as weak.  So we’ve had a go at assembling a stronger team.  Here is the result.

Iain Dale: How many Cabinet members would make your fantasy Cabinet? I count five. And it gets worse…

Plus: incompetence, resignations, non-resignations, reputations, my holiday, Any Questions and Finkelstein’s book.
