re: #1 Targetpractice

From downstairs:

Yet, what if she did, and then a future PM who is facing major political opposition asked her to intercede on their behalf? She certainly couldn’t refuse, as the precedent had been set for the Crown inserting itself into a political crisis.

She’d be inserting herself now by refusing to go along with Boris’ rank bullshit, so I don’t see how that creates some precedent that obligates her to act on behalf of any future PM. The only precedent she’d be setting is “hey, just don’t fucking insult me by flagrantly lying straight to my goddamned face and expect me to go along with it.”
