As Andrew Rawnsley pointed out in the Observer on Sunday, polls always reflect well on a government during the time of crisis. Gordon Brown had a huge boost in popularity (from a low base) during the 2008 financial crisis. That boost soon ebbs away as normality returns, especially if the government are seen to have handled things badly.
No chance. He is ahead in polls. There is no opposition. It will be like the Russia report or the islamophobia enquiry or grenfell.
