I disagree, personality wise he might not be Johnson but on policy for the last couple of years it has been hard to view him as the change candidate, offering mainly tweaks around the edges of current policy, the differences of policy between ERG headbangers and One Nation tories are probably further apart than between what the opposition party have been offering versus Johnson.
I think what he tried to set out at conference actually was OK and Rachel Reeves economic plan was reasonable but you rarely here them articulate these positions when challenged and land up sounding like they don't offer an alternative vision
I don't think many view him as the current status quo. You can't get much further away from Johnson.
