Doesn't the fact that he oversaw the furlough payments count for a lot in many people's eyes?

And some of the lucrative contracts that were dished out? He must have had some role in signing those off but the people who bring up the furlough scheme thing will not acknowledge any wrongdoing by Johnson and chums during the pandemic.

I'm sure he did. I just get the impression that the furlough scheme was a strikingly unTory thing to do, so the fact that he was willing to do that makes it feel like he has already torn off the plaster in terms of being seen, by Tory voters, as economically to the left of much of the party.
