Not my words but senior Tories.

They fear that with the Sunak and Johnson debacle that both have lost complete respect from the voting public.

They worry that this is symptomatic of a political party in decline.

Well, we shall see. But I do believe that this country desperately needs a fresh start and new ideas, with a government of integrity and competence.

Thanks Maizie - interesting blog. but I wonder whether it ever gets read by those who really need to read it?

They would just dismiss it a fake news or project fear, you can’t cure ———.

Thanks Maizie

I'm sitting typing this with the sun shining and the birds singing - things that normally make be feel happy. Having just read the blog I'm now feeling very sad.

Sometimes when I read these threads I think that a few GNers have changed their minds about Brexit and/or the govt but then someone or other pops up to disprove me.

I thought I would wake this thread up again as I imagine much information will start coming through tonight about what Johnson isn't going to do.

The Tories’ problems go deeper than just one man
Boris Johnson is a symptom of Conservative political malaise, not its cause
