The Spin

Left narrative

Boris Johnson may now be gone from politics as his plans to erode public confidence in institutions and democracy failed, but it is disturbing that so many Tories have backed him despite it being clear long before he took office that he was unfit for any kind of public service. Only a general election and a Labour Party government can finally move Britain away from its disgraceful right-leaning populist legacy.

Guardian

Right narrative

Had Boris Johnson not resigned a week ago, he would face a 90-day ban that has only ever been exceeded by Keith Vaz over his "drugs for sex workers" scandal. While his blunders during the lockdown made it too easy for his foes to come after him, this extreme verdict could even reignite his political career. The decision was certainly not a fair trial, with those in charge of his judgment coming to a decision on Johnson far before it was their job to do so.
