Another Letter to my MP: Partygate is not the Big Issue

 Time for another little missive to my MP:


Dear Ms Richardson,

Congratulations for having the courage to make a stand over "partygate" by resigning your role as a ministerial aide.

The problem for our government in particular, and the country in general, is not, however, the mismanagement of this particular debacle. It is rooted in the amazing state of affairs whereby those that have the power to do so, managed to elect as party leader and ultimately Prime Minister, a man who is so evidently unfit for that role. His reputation has long gone before him. He has twice been sacked for lying. A former employer in print opined that "He would not recognise the truth, whether about his private or political life, if confronted by it in an identity parade". One has to wonder about the judgement of those who voted him into his current exalted position.

I could, of course, go on about the attempted suspension of Parliament to stop scrutiny of his Brexit deal; resurrect the tawdry Patterson affair; rehearse his amazingly casual attitude to sensitive prime ministerial paperwork; cite any number of manifestly false statements; but these should all be well known to you.

I hope that your letter has already been sent to Sir Graham Brady and that you will do your utmost to ensure that the next Prime Minister is installed in office in the very near future and that he or she is a person of integrity and sound judgement.

Yours sincerely
