Not much choice really. It's a bit of a gamble given how glaringly shit Durham plod seem to be and anything might happen.
Will be interesting to see how punchy he is about being sure no rules were broken.
If the police come out with the Cummings line of 'it was against the rules, but we would only have given a warning' he'll be buggered on attacking over partygate.
If he gets a fine and goes, I could see Johnson calling a snap election while there's no leader.
But if he's cleared then really does put even more pressure on Johnson. Particularly if Johnson gets another fine or two over the coming weeks.

Honestly this could work for the best, no leader = noone for the tory rags to attack. I reckon Labour could win an election if they campaign with one leader then swap like a week before the actual day.
