    The tory powerplays are fervently in action behind the scenes.

    Brexit is "done" and so is dePfeffel. Just a matter of time.

    Maybe that's why we're where we are compared to most other countries?

    He looks ill, can’t stand the bloke but he looks like he’s got issues, alcoholic? I think he might have taken his love for Churchill too far, bottle of Bolli for breakfast.

    Defeffel sounds like a fluttery fanny fart.

    Yes but no one will want to take over until they are confident that covid is under control. I suspect the plan always was to ditch Boris once Brexit was done - maybe give him a couple of months so he gets the blame of all that goes wrong. Now we are certainly in trouble with the covid until at least April so I dont see anyone deperate to grab the reins just yet - Whoever takes over will want to know that the worst is behind so they can claim credit for leading us out of the troubled times

    Thats certainly an ideal world and I'm sure anyone who believes they are a contender (most of which shouldn't be) would want a clean state to start with.

    However... there will be some eager and full of belief who think they can turn it all round, and tory legend shows many who never acted when they should and missed out as a result.

    The other facet are the polls. When they go south, the 1922 start to take matters into their hands.

    I think the vast majority of people don’t think about politics at all except at election time. Also does ‘right’ and ‘left’ mean much anymore? To us arguing on here yes, but the days of heavy industry and the communities they forged is a distant memory. Increasing numbers never experienced it.

    This the age of the individual. It’s also the age of distraction and entertainment. Folk want to be entertained and that extends to politicians. “At least we’ll have a laugh with Boris” one bloke said before the last election. “He’s like a puppy and everyone loves a puppy” said one woman.

    So they voted for a clown. Gravitas, experience, morals, intelligence? Boring. Experts? Had enough of them. Let’s have some bumbling idiot on a zip wire banging the drum for Britain.

    Johnson will be gone next year but I guarantee you this. If he were to take part in ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ in three years’ time the public would lap it up and he’d win the competition by a landslide. If he then stood for PM again, he’d win by the biggest majority in history and there’d be a media campaign for him to be knighted.

    That isn't a miracle though, it's a travesty that BoJo became PM
