A lot of the time we overestimate how much people care but this seems like a classic scandal that people have paid attention too. Johnson is risking taking a hit over this.

Normally, if Boris was evaluating this kind of decision, he would go to his data analyst who would give him the relevant intelligence from a balanced dataset of 2,000 voters.
However, in this situation, the data analyst - Dominic Cummings - is the subject in question. So Boris Johnson is removed from his more voter-focused decision-making mechanism and has to go by his instincts, which is to support the man who got him into power.
