The party that likes to party has lost my vote

As someone who has voted Conservative in every election since 1970, I am finally forced to say: “Enough is enough.” Heath, Thatcher, Hague, Duncan Smith, Howard, Cameron, May – each had strengths and weaknesses, but each was a politician I could regard as honest and honourable. Boris Johnson is neither. I supported him in the leadership election because I wanted to “get Brexit done” (UK reports, 14 January).

Even when he achieved that by shamelessly betraying the Ulster Unionists and fishermen, I went along with the “ah well, compromises are inevitable” excuses. But now, knowing what he and his inner circle were up to, as they told us we were not allowed to comfort our sick and dying for fear of spreading the virus, makes my stomach turn.
