Who replaces them, whether they in turn are fit for office, is orthogonal to the decision whether this Government is fit for office. The right wing trope of "well, they are like that so where is the problem?" is childish at best.
We should aim to have a Government that is fit for office, trustworthy and has integrity & honesty (within the bounds of conventional politics). This current Executive has shown itself to have none of these qualities and consequently, their supporters, ones who you might call "decent" Tories are deserting them in droves.

There is nothing “right wing” about calling out Keir Starmer, who had also conducted himself in a untrustworthy, corrupt way, he’s not an effective communicator and that matters, whether he’s government or not. So this fit for office you speak of, I want that, but Starmer hasn’t got what it takes, so no I won’t just froth about Johnson because you say I should.
