@DoctorChristian You didn't take the tweet down when her lawyers asked you to. This was a massive clue to the trouble you were in and the first of many forks in the road that gave you a 'way out'. Whole thing literally an object lesson in how not to do it, including this Go Fund Me.

I, for one, respect the judgement of Nadhim Zahawi, a man who saw Boris Johnson was on the ropes, used it to bounce him into making him Chancellor, only to call on him to resign the next day while sensibly keeping his new job when those with honour were quitting theirs.

I’m backing Boris. He got the big calls right, whether it was ordering more vaccines ahead of more waves of covid, arming 🇺🇦 early against the advice of some, or stepping down for the sake of unity. But now, Britain needs him back. We need to unite to deliver on our manifesto 1/2
