We did not arrive accidentally at the point where a government minister engages in eye-watering corruption and the Prime Minister's response is "the matter is closed".

It has been the express design of this "government" to bring us to that place.

We are groomed.

We should have been paying a heck of a lot more attention when the Johnson junta sneeringly prorogued Parliament.

The process of normalising abhorrent abuse of power had already begun.

it is now relentless.

And it's meant to be relentless.

Flagrant lies, flagrant abuse of power, flagrant corruption, every single day.

It's about destroying accountability, demoralising opposition, making the intolerable the new normal.

It's about daring anyone to say "Stop".
