Latest Polls

The latest polls show the Tory party approval rating
is sinking even lower.
With 65% of voters saying they will not vote Tory.
Mostly blaming the Owen Paterson scandal and holding Boris directly responsible for the Downing St Parties.
It's beginning to look like the Tories could soon be History.

TTT,
I don’t think Boris is out of harm, depends on lots of factors, whether the police fine him, if they do, how the backbenchers react, whether they get enough letters or the men in grey suits act anyway.

And if there is a change of leader, whether that will work for the public in getting a Conservative vote in 36 months time.

But at the moment, an opinion poll is no barometer.

Gromit, I agree and if Labour had any sense (yeah I know) they'd be doing everything they can to keep Boris in but they want the little prize rather than the big one or at least a chance at the big one.

The next yardstick will be in May with local government elections

How many will send Bozo a message via those I wonder ?

[Gromit]

In the 2019 Local Elections, the Conservatives had a bad day and lost 1,330 Councillors. That was in May, by December they got an 80 seat majority in the General Election.

So a bad result in the Local Elections may not be fatal for Boris’ leadership.

Jacob Rees Mogg warns the Cons that if Boris is toppled... a snap general election is possible .
Bring it on Jacob Lets get the Tories out now.

Agreed
But that was during the transition period of Bozo become PM on the wave of Brexit hubris
Current living standards combined with tax rises and the ‘let’s have a party and sod the locked down public’ approach mean that Bozo is on a tightrope
And the top bods amongst the Tories know that
His back benchers certainly do because plenty have voiced their concerns and displeasure
