Even though he returned the biggest Tory majority in whenever, many in the party just didn't want him.
Even after partygate, and all the other scandals, he was/is still popular and still had the mandate from the electorate.
So they get rid of him, install Truss who has no mandate, rips up the fragile alliance with the red wall and royally screws everything up.
Whoever is appointed, if it's not Johnson, they need to bring him in and commit to try and deliver his 2019 manifesto (but there is precious little time)
