An Ill-Made Cabinet Falls Apart

Boris Johnson's terrible error over Nazanin Ratcliffe would already have resulted in his dismissal, were he not Boris Johnson, of whom catastrophic levels of idiocy are positively expected, and were it possible to lose another member of the Cabinet when the last one to go has already had to be replaced with Gavin Williamson for the sheer want of anyone else.

We are now expected to consider the image of Damian Green ... no, no, it is simply too horrific to contemplate. But if he can show, at least as a possibility, that those images, if they were there at all, might have resulted from computer viruses, or from the way in which computer repair shops and others recycle things, then that would have significant ramifications for other cases.
