so that when the inevitable shitstorm hits and the food rioting starts, they can plausibly blame it all on johnson and his incompetence rather than the tory party at large?
The party membership are further to the right than the average Tory MP. Poor people living a precarious existence, along with middle England fearing a precarious existence ..... will mostly shift politically to the right in hard times. Boris is promising hard times (and tax cuts for the few)!
It’s about all he can credibly promise to deliver.
We should have left the EU under May’s deal.
