Once a PM's lost their authority they are a dead in the water. Look at Major, Brown, May as examples. Even Blair, once he'd said he would go and hand over to Brown, lost it. Thatcher too. The Johnson government is in a very dangerous place right now and this lack of judgement could be fatal.

I don't think this is a poll tax / black Wednesday / iraq war / financial apocalypse moment.
I think it makes a very loud but ultimately minority group very angry but like Oliver says those people hate Boris and Cummings anyway.
I suspect the quiet majority do not give a fuck or worse are looking on in bewilderment at the rage.The DM front page is interesting though so let’s see where it goes.

Plenty of folks on the Conservatives side with an axe to grind for him.
Like Oliver said above, an election is a long way away. Whatever the mood is - because I don’t believe online is an accurate representation - it won’t last and memory is short.
