If this was all in April/May, why is it on the news now?

I’m glad it’s now happening to the Tories but it feels dishonest. Quote Tweet Michael Birtwhistle @SalfordMH · Jan 14 Replying to @Bob0Mar @flying_rodent and @paulewart23 It's all the cornering him into making a defence only to coquettishly reveal the next tranche of stories which annihilate the previous position, and repeat at intervals until target is too embattled to survive. They think they've won but it will all dependent on MPs agreeing. 5:19 PM · Jan 14, 2022·Twitter for iPhone (via dsquareddigest) Cheers, Scott.

Lots of reporters on the Former Guy beat held on to important stuff until they were ready to release their books months or years after it would have had a policy impact. Woodward is the most egregious example. Maggie Haberman is another. I fear that a big problem with the BoJo situation is that the power that be are going to spin this as a problem unique to him, rather than yet another example of how horrible the Tories as a whole are... I hope Labour's current lead is enough to clean house soon (but my understanding is that elections are still years away unless something unexpected happens). Good luck! Cheers, Scott.
