A Turning Point For Boris Johnson
A bad day for the PM, and most of the lethal blows coming from his own party. Can he recover and fight the next General Election.
Boris Johnson faced a wall of fury from all wings of the Conservative party over the UK’s conduct in Afghanistan, with 11 former cabinet ministers among the dozens of MPs and peers expressing their anger and frustration at Britain’s failures in intelligence and preparation.
// During a torrid session in the House of Commons, the overwhelming majority of Tories who spoke condemned Britain’s failure to anticipate the Taliban takeover of Kabul and its perceived humiliation on the world stage. More than 30 Tory MPs spoke against the government, while only a handful voiced support for its actions. //

ich: "The popularity of Keir Starmer isn’t really relevant.
He’s never going to be “popular” it probably float around at more or less the same approval rating.
It’s Johnson’s standing that counts.
If he’s seem as incompetent or a liability he’ll be out. " - of course it is if he hopes the unseat the government. In 1992 Kinnochio was miles ahead of the grey man and even then he lost so if Rodders expects to have any sort of hope in the next GE he should be riding high when the PM is mid term mid crises getting a kicking.

Now I'm not exactly a Boris fan as regular readers of my posts will know but this crisis was not of Johnsons making. He didn't start the war (Labour -Blair did) and he didn't issue the directive to suddenly up sticks and go.
Just what exactly do SKS, Treason and the rest of the grandstanders expect him to do? This is Bidens making Johnson, it appears, was not consulted although had tried to put together a coalition of UN forces- but they weren't up for it.

It was clear last week when the Taliban were sweeping across the country, that a crisis was brewing.
Raab’s job was to tell Boris the intel that the FO had from our diplomats and spies on the ground in Afghanistan.
He should have cut short his holiday (or not gone at all) and supported his Prime Minister.
Biden’s plans were not exactly secret. A Foreign Secretary on top of his brief should have been ready, not topping up his suntan.
