Boris Johnson's favourability has dropped to an all-time low

[BlueWavePsych]

The Downing Street Christmas party scandal appears to have hit the Prime Minister’s popularity hard. A new YouGov survey shows that two-thirds (66%) of the British public now have an unfavourable opinion of Boris Johnson, with just a quarter (24%) having a positive opinion of him – giving him a net favourability rating of -42.

4. The party MPs could throw him out if they think he's too much a drag on their prospects

at the next election, and then they and party members choose a new leader who is automatically PM from that moment.

3. Who could have guessed...

...that TrumpLiCon Boris Brexit would turn out to be a lying unpopular scumbag?

How's Bolsonaro doing?

5. Great but Labour are so weak, it might not matter.

6. The Christmas party, Covid surge, and government lock-down

with subsequent anti-mask/anti-distancing protests were all a year ago and only now a scandal blowing up in his face.

Moral, responsible people and antagonistic disease spreaders coming together, if not quite on the same side, nevertheless all energized in response to the government's (Johnson's) calls to contain the virus.

7. He's been very good on Covid though

Much better than any Republican.

8. Actually, he was as horrible as Trump in the very beginning until he came down

with a bad case of COVID. After that, he got much better.

Though, I really wish I am arguing and fighting with a conservative party about how much of a lock-down or restriction is needed, rather than one that flat out pretend COVID doesn't exist.
