Yep Jim! Johnson's smart-arse reference to Cincinnatus: Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus, The Roman General and dictator, was the clue to his future intentions - returned to power to save the Roman upper classes from a rebellion of the lower classes. Is there an underlying RW Tory conspiracy to eventually give way to his return and then retain power for another 5 years after a General Election win???????? Meanwhile I genuinely fear the Tories preparing a full-frontal assault on democracy in Scotland, something that has already been happening up here. I just fear it is gonna get worse and we are regarded as a "soft target" in Scotland. We are not Irish either eh!! Another fear is a trade war with the EU, that is very possible imo!! Esp with their attacks on the NI Protocol, employment rights, environmental safeguards, a renewed emphasis on fracking and gas/oil extraction while obstacles placed in the way of renewables development, undermining civil liberties and rights of trade unions, demonising immigrants, and pouring petrol on the fires of culture wars to cause a distraction from the reality of they are doing. Note Truss never mentioned any of these details at the Tory hustings!! Also did nobody notice Johnson's toxic nuclear legacy he has left behind in his last weeks as PM?. He has "given the green light" to a raft of new nuclear power stations!!! Unbelievable! Pouring billions of pounds down the nuclear drain while failing to address the current energy crisis - committing future generations to a new nuclear financial black hole!! This is Boris bonkers stuff!! After previously "spouting off" his expertise on how to save energy etc so unimpressively!! Nuclear probs are clear for all to see - cost and time, it is expensive!! No new station will be seen for about 15 years. It doesn't provide any energy solution to the current crisis either. Then there is the nuclear waste issue - old technology that still has waste probs and reprocessing nuclear fuel - they use that to build nuclear weapons FFS!! Lastly, there is the clear danger of using nuclear stations - just look around the world to see examples of this threat/danger.
