This. To suggest that Starmer hasn’t been battering Johnson so far would be disingenuous to the point of slight childishness.
Even a number of the Tory papers have acknowledged the dynamic shift. Only really the Express who are hilariously carrying on and pretending everything is going great.
I'll put it this way - I'd be delighted if Johnson is put up as the candidate in 2024 after 4 years of being absolutely MAULED every week at PMQs by a man lightyears his superior.
**** me. Boris Alexander De Pfeffel Johnson is Prime Minister. A man who intentionally messes his hair up before being on camera, and waffles in latin for no discernible reason.
And Rory Stewart is the "weird one.
This - if it forces the Tories away from populists and towards competents, that is good for everyone.
Starmer v Stewart or Sunak and I don't think I'd actually mind too much who won, in the grand scheme of things.
