the trap was set for Johnson alone, the beauty of it is the tory party have so far collectively decided to be ensnared by it too.
When we look back on this, that’s the thing that’ll seem weirdest of all. For all my life, the Tories have been the masters of ditching their lame dog PMs and having their replacement pretty much lined up, and making sure that whatever happened to the person on the top the party would prosper. But now it’s completely the opposite, they seem intent on keeping the leader in no matter how much it harms the party.
And as you say the trap was for Johnson alone- I thought they were making an arse of it because Johnson could have just stepped down and instantly it’d be new broom and the anointed new leader would start with a clean sheet and it’d all have to be done again. But miraculously the Tories have taken Labour’s soggy carrot and done everything they can to turn it into a stake to the heart.
