If this happened in 2023 or later I would agree. But now.....nah.

There is so much to be done now, Brexit, the economy after covid etc. The Cummings fiasco will be long forgotten, there are major issues ahead.
You falsely assume politics is governed by the electoral cycle. Johnson's leadership could easily be called into question before then, in which case the Cummings debacle, plus inept Coronavirus response, will enter the game far sooner than 2024.

The Tories love a good knifing of a leader. Will it be Gove, Sunak, Raab? All leaders in waiting watching Boris flounder.

Over 60 Tory MPs on the record calling for DC to go. Easily a higher number off the record.
