I'm not so sure. He seems to have the ability to bullshit everybody.
Labour is also having problems, people were disappointed by the Tory-lite Tony Blair and they haven't forgotten that, not yet. If Labour manages to remember who they are, they might have a shot. Otherwise, it'll be more BoJo.

Re Labour, if they can continue their LibDem election pact, they might stand a chance. The UK is fucked, and it's unlikely to get better in the medium term.

The US had more per capita deaths and injuries from Covid, but that's because total lack of leadership led to patchwork responses by states, cities, and counties, some of which did absolutely nothing to protect their residents.
