That is not holding anyone to account. That is abdicating your responsibility as the opposition. In fact it has fallen on Tory back benchers to your job for you.

While a noble notion as you portray the reality is this far out from a General Election the best thing they can do is quietly support the Government with constructive criticism. If Boris makes a mess of it he carries the can, if he’s right you get to say you supported. In 2024 we will know one way or the other.
Force Boris out and you could lose to Sunak who washes his hands of Boris ineptitude.
There’s no political advantage to be had by being proactive here. Governments living out a slow dying death suits the opposition.
