More than two and a half years since Boris Johnson confined the nation to its homes, the Guardian has finally decided it's time to run some criticism of it.

Lockdown proponents continue to get a free pass in making unwarranted assertions about lockdowns being necessary and effective, despite the evidence clearly showing infections falling ahead of lockdowns being imposed.

Ukraine and Russia may have been close to a peace deal in April. However, “sources close to Zelenskyy” told a Ukrainian newspaper that Boris Johnson scuttled the talks because there was a chance to "press" Putin.

Boris, Hancock, Whitty and the rest who drove the lockdowns will never admit they were wrong as it would be psychologically devastating for them. But in time the world will silently resolve the measures were mistaken.

Lord Sumption has written about the gradually dawning realisation that the lockdown policy was a disastrous mistake. It could be called ‘I Told You So’ – or, since some anger is justified, ‘I F***ing Told You So.’

In this week's London Calling, the talking points are the likely honourees in Boris's Lavender List, the runners and riders in the Tory leadership contest and the stinking weasel poo that is Thor: Love and Thunder.

Chancellor Rishi Sunak and Health Secretary Sajid Javid have both quit the Government this evening, saying we "cannot continue like this", bringing Boris Johnson's premiership to the brink of implosion.
