Johnson was damaged by the Cummings affair but he is still one of the most popular and charismatic leaders the Tories have ever had. Any leader would struggle against him.
Rishi Sunak has excellent instincts and he's a sharp guy, but I don't think he has the charisma of Johnson, and I'm not sure if Tories will accept him given that he's not white. Gove is an enormous weirdo and I see him becoming a Maybot-esque figure of fun if he's daft enough to get the big job, much more of a liability for the Tories.
Starmer will do better against Sunak than he will against Johnson, but if they're dumb enough to field Gove we're talking about 2017 - the Tories almost begging to lose.
