'As this farce proceeds, we now hear that the arch-villain of this pantomime has returned to haunt us Scots' // Letters
ONCE again us Scots are subject to the pantomime that is the Tory leadership contest. It would be laughable if it was not so serious. Never before has the UK electorate been subjected to this level of bare-faced manipulation of the election process.
With his reluctant exit from Downing Street and the consequent six weeks of the Liz Truss v Rishi Sunak soap opera of a leadership election, many like myself have looked on not only with disbelief and consternation at the choice of Truss but with a high degree of anger and helplessness that the way to the premiership of this country could be done in this way, that such a small cohort of people could decide for the rest of us who should be PM.
As this farce proceeds, we now hear that the arch-villain of this pantomime has returned to haunt us Scots. I have been searching for any form of logic that would entertain the return of Boris Johnson, a man who disgraced the office of prime minister. As this kind of situation has never happened before, it is unlikely that there is any precedent that would prevent his return.Only the Tory faithful can prevent this from happening.
