*chewbacca*, you are being far to kind to him. Boris is, and has always been, out for one person only and that is Boris and he will tread anyone into the ground who gets in his way. We ahve seen how over the years he has lied and cheated, employers, partners and wives, if they get in the way of his progress.
He also has this obsession with Churchill. Looking at him yesterday, you could see him channelling Churchill in his gestures, and stance. The refusal to resign is a classic repeat of Churchill at the darkest time of the war. This was his finest hour.
I do not think Boris gives a tinkers cuss for all those who oppose him and whether they are right or wrong. His only focus in life is himself and making sure he always comes out on top.

I think you're right. Additionally though, I don't believe he gives the proverbial tinker's cuss about those who support him either. They are relevant to him only in so far as they are useful to him achieving his Churchillian ambitions.
Does the man care one iota about the lives of his working-class Red-Wall support base? In 1995, when he was a journalist for the Daily Telegraph, he wrote about the "appalling proliferation of single mothers" and this was his view of men in general (quote from 'Full-Fact')
“And that brings me to the last and greatest group of male culprits. Most of these single mothers have had the common sense to detect that the modern British male is useless.
“If he is blue collar, he is likely to be drunk, criminal, aimless, feckless and hopeless, and perhaps claiming to suffer from low self-esteem brought on by unemployment.
“If he is white collar, he is likely to be little better.”
These "drunk, criminal, aimless, feckless and hopeless" Red Wall individuals are his support base!
I utterly despair - at one man's total lack of integrity and self-awareness, and a whole group of voters who are being used as the legendry "useful idiots" but believe he's 'on their side' and fighting for them.
