Far from demonstrating the slightest contrition since his humiliating defenestration, Johnson has behaved in his usual bumptious style, seeing himself as a wronged hero
Johnson’s legacy is so toxic that in a debate among five candidates in the race to succeed him, none wanted him in their cabinet. One of the two survivors in this tussle – Sunak – has proclaimed “a national emergency” over the state of the economy, health service and migration, saying he will put the country on “crisis footing” from his first day in office. The other – Liz Truss – says the government must overturn its economic approach, ditch key tax changes and “do things differently.
As we know, however, Johnson sees himself as set apart from lesser mortals, a man who lives by different rules from the little people. Far from demonstrating the slightest contrition since his humiliating defenestration, Johnson has behaved in his usual bumptious style since he sees himself as the wronged hero, the political giant felled by pygmies.
Johnson’s inability to accept or tell the truth, lashing out at everyone else for his own mistakes, carries a distinct whiff of his soulmate Donald Trump’s behaviour after ejection from the White House, even if the ex-president’s actions have been more damaging for their democracy.
So let us remind ourselves about this doughty defender of democracy promoting Johnson’s cause. Cruddas is a rich Tory donor who made his fortune from gambling and, after being appointed Tory party treasurer, was caught by journalists peddling influence and selling access to Downing Street. When he sued a Sunday paper for libel, appeal court judges deemed his behaviour dishonest despite partially backing his case.
