UK PM Johnson could lose his seat and majority at next election - poll

It's true that Johnson has dithered in this crisis, and that his documented personality defects have contributed to the UK's woes in this crisis.But remember a few things:

 

1.The UK is more or less performing the same as other large European countries (Germany being the exception).

 

2.The UK media and urban middle "twitter" class detest Johnson with a fury that makes it necessary to discount their views to an extent.

 

3.It is not credible that a Corbyn government would have done better. Not sure about "forensic" Starmer

 

4.Johnson is a slippery piglet that's difficult to catch.Nobody has  ever made money by betting against Johnson and I expect him to win in 2024 (unless he explodes or is ousted in a Tory coup)

 

5.Johnson is not a wicked man but a highly intelligent politician of near genius with major character flaws.He is trying to do a job of almost unimaginable difficulty.

Now, this is an optimistic way of looking at the problems facing the more than 50,000 UK manufacturers whose only trade is with the EU. Fishing and other food exporters right now are very vocal because their exports are hit very fast, but they are not alone. 

 

On these issues, we are still waiting for a credible answer from Johnson as a lot of these businesses will lay down jobs or cease their activity in the months to come.

this was not about possible obstacles for manufacturers or fish mongers

but rather some comments re BJ virtues and preformances
