Johnson is obviously not suited to dealing with any kind of serious crisis and I can't believe most Tories now find him deeply embarassing. OK, he recently won a big majority, but that doesn't mean his position is safe
The Conservative lead in the polls has increased in the last week, as has satisfaction with Boris Johnson.

'The railways have been nationalised'
And today's papers report that some tories are suggesting a 'national government'
It's beginning to feel a bit like wartime which was when we last had national goverment (NG), and the aftermath of war usually benefits the left - think 1917 and 1945.
I guess Johnson and Cummings will be very upset by the NG idea, since it has probably intended to get rid of them - Johnson is obviously not suited to dealing with any kind of serious crisis and I can't believe most Tories now find him deeply embarassing. OK, he recently won a big majority, but that doesn't mean his position is safe - here's a list of prime ministers ( since 1957) who have come into the job without an election: Macmillan ('57), Home ('63), Callaghan ('76), Major ('92), Brown ('07), May ('16) and Johnson ('19).
Damage to the Tories does not mean the end of capitalism, but at least it's a step in the right direction.
