We elect parties on manifestos. Love or loathe Johnson, he delivered the current majority on the back of that manifesto.
If a successor PM seeks to, in absolute terms, deviate significantly from that. Puts on hold legislation already in train by his or her predecessor, then absolutely they should have the spine to put their vision to the electorate.
For anyone worried I’ve checked in on Comical Ali. “Last Activity: Today 12:49”. Presumably waiting for a line from CCHQ.
