Donald Trump shouldn’t be the only leader in the dock when zombie Boris Johnson is a proven law-breaker.

The President risks impeachment over an alleged illegal attempt to bribe Ukraine into smearing US rival Joe Biden while the UK Supreme Court has already ruled the PM misled the Queen over suspending Parliament.

Questions over public grants and trade trip favours to Johnson’s close young American friend, Jennifer Accuri, only add to the feeling an ego-fuelled Tory is set for the mother of all falls.

Tinpot tyrants, not democrats, sideline Parliaments with lies.

The crisis engulfing Britain proves once again that Brexit’s a right-wing plot to reshape Britain and was never really about a sovereign Parliament and UK courts deciding UK laws.

If it was, the Tory and Brexit Party would celebrate the Supreme Court defending Parliament’s sovereignty.

Now MPs intend to keep powerless Johnson in limbo land for a little longer to close loopholes Downing Street bragged could allow him to defy the law and plunge Britain into a Halloween Horror no-deal Brexit.

Once the nightmare’s avoided, the plan is to hold an election.

The living dead Premier’s only way out is persuading Tory Brextremists to vote from May’s tweaked deal, offer a fresh referendum or both.

Labour has problems of its own when the ludicrous “neutral” policy is leaking votes.

But for now the opposition have taken back control and a PM once hailed a winner flunks every battle.

The British Trump and American Johnson are tarnished politicians.
