an old, wounded mammoth, the last of his species, lumbering off to find the graveyard.

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.

Note I've said that about the Democratic Party for many years.

life, and he will continue to be an amoral asshole.

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. Most economies have bounced back post covid, but not the UK. Plus Partygate has hit a nerve that this cabal will find it impossible to shake come the next General Election.

In fact, it probably enhanced it. He's not a malignant narcissist like TFG,he strikes me as more of a charming sociopath.

However, if people keep voting Tory or dividing their votes among everyone to the left who have been dragged to the right, the Tories will win and that will mean more BoJo.

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. The UK endured more lockdowns, and I can well imagine the nerve Partygate has struck.

Here, when TFG;s dimwit daughter Tiffany jetted down to Florida for an unmasked birthday party, it barely raised eyebrows. She's rich, none of the laws of god or man can possibly apply to her.
