Damien

The fact he got taken down by 'little things' isn't an injustice it's just a sign of how this was almost entirely self-inflicted. He wasn't taken down because he got into an argument with his party over the direction of Brexit, or the economy or COVID.

He was taken down by arrogance and lack of attention to detail. If he had considered that holding parties during a lockdown wouldn't look good, if he thought that he shouldn't really change the rules to get his mate off the hook, if he hadn't hired someone with sexual assault allegations against him and most of all if he hadn't pointlessly lied about these things only to be caught out then he wouldn't have needed to resign. Remainers didn't make him do those things. Remainers don't have the powerbase within the Tory Party to seriously challenge him.

If Johnson has any capacity for self-reflection he might one day regret how pointlessly he squandered a large majority on these issues rather than on anything ambitious. Most PMs go because they picked a battle they ultimately couldn't win. Johnson just shot himself in the foot for nothing.
