FOR the first time in my 77 years, I have been rendered just about lost for words.

Over the past 20 years I have had more than 500 letters published in local (mainly The Cumberland News) and the national press, but today I am absolutely gobsmacked and just about lost for words by the behaviour of our so-called Prime Minister and his outrageous cohorts partying away day after day as thousands of people died from Covid-19 and families like me were forced to stand by a graveside with just a handful of family members, having not been allowed to comfort our loved ones as they died.

Meanwhile in Downing Street they knocked back booze and munched on sausage rolls and crisps in numerous jollies in the garden of No10.

If the Prime Minister (I am so incensed I cannot bring myself to type his name) has one ounce of moral compass in his self-centered being, he will resign forthwith.

If not, he must be forced from office to protect the integrity of his great office of state and the wellbeing of the many distraught people of this country he has left in his wake by his callous behaviour.
