Exclamation Operation Save Big Dog': Boris 'to launch blitz of sackings and populist policies'

Save Big Dog': Boris 'to launch blitz of sackings and populist policies' to keep
job




Boris Johnson is preparing to cull figures in his inner circle over the partygate
affair as he desperately tries to cling on to his job, reports say.

"Operation Save Big Dog", as a plan to keep him in power is apparently
referred to, is getting under way – and it will see a blitz of policy
announcements the Government will hope can reverse its fortunes.

The Prime Minister is hoping to survive the onslaught of public fury at a
constant stream of reports about Downing Street parties that took place
during Covid restrictions.

A sixth Conservative MP has joined calls for Mr Johnson to go, with Scottish
Tories having already broken rank.

The Sunday Times said Mr Johnson will try to save his job with "populist"
policy unveilings in the coming weeks. That plan has its own name, separate
from "Save Big Dog" - it's reportedly dubbed "Operation Red Meat".

They include a plan to reduce the NHS backlog and dealing with migrant small boat
crossings over the Channel.

It was also reported that the BBC licence fee could be frozen for two years and a "booze
ban" could be put in place for No10.

All sounds reasonable, be nice if they could do it without BoJo though!

Could they perhaps tackle things that actually matter, like the energy crisis, or the soaring cost of housing (both on the market and rent prices)?
