Accused by the scandal of “Booze Parties” organized in periods of health restrictions, the British Prime Minister multiplies the gross maneuvers to seduce the Conservative members, who hold his destiny in their hands.

The febrility is at its height at Downing Street, while the scandal of “Booze Parties” in series in the premises of the British Executive during the 2020 and 2021 sanitary restrictions does not stop damage and Threat directly Boris Johnson. In recent days, the British media have unveiled the plans developed in the emergencyor to save its mandate. Baptized Commentically Operation “Save Big Dog” (“Save Gros Dog”) and “Red Meat” Operation (“Red Meat”), these last chance plans align populist measures to flatter the instincts of Conservative deputies, which hold Mr. Johnson’s destiny in their hands. Half a dozen of them publicly claim its resignation and twenty would have already sent letters of mistrust to the powerful club of Torsias Committee 1922 – the latter must receive 54 for a triggering vote on the Prime Minister .

The operation “Save Big Dog” would be to sacrifice some leaders – probably Dan Rosenfield, the director of Downing Street staff, and Martin Reynolds, Mr. Johnson’s private secretary, the very one who launched invitations. For the “Byob Party” (“Bring Your Own Booze”, “Bring your own bottle”) from May 20 2020, in confinement. It could be triggered just after the publication of the Sue Gray report, the High Officer charged (by Mr. Johnson) to shed light on “Booze Parties” in Downing Street. M me Gray could have completed his investigation at the end of this week. The Labor opposition and the media, almost unanimous, already consider “Save Big Dog” as a coarse maneuver of Mr. Johnson aimed at having the responsibility for containment offenses on others rather than on himself.

To solicit the Royal Navy to block the arrival of the migrants

The operation “Red Meat” was not considered much more convincing. Mr. Johnson would intend to abolish at the end of January the health constraints in force since December 2021 – teleworking and the wearing of the masque mask in transport. This decision makes sense if the rapid reflux of the Omicron wave is confirmed. The proposal to appeal to the Royal Navy to block the arrival of migrants on the British coast seems, it, very more risky.

Admittedly, the number of people who have passed the crossing of the Channel since France jumped in 2021 (about 28,000), posing a considerable political problem with conservative elected officials. Many supported Brexit, hoping that it would allow the country to “resume control” of its borders. In the House of Commons, Monday, January 17, the Minister of the Interior, Prii Patel, confirmed, without going into details, that the Home Office had “commissioned” the Ministry of Defense as “crucial operational partner” to fight against illegal immigration. At what task will be assigned the military? Has France been informed? A spokesman for Downing Street refused to “speculate” Monday but said: “We are looking at all possible options to limit migrant arrivals, the Royal Navy is one.”
