It’s probably hard to pinpoint exactly when as it’s more deaths by a thousand cuts than getting knifed by Gove in the back.
Getting MPs to back Paterson a particular low that got almost universal condemnation here both for being corrupt or (at minimum) stupid idea that would so obviously play badly it calls into question political judgement.
As Pierre and yourself note he can’t really be arsed with the job anyway. Deliver Brexit and ride off into the sunset a hero is now bogged down in mundane and trivial matters like actually governing. A book deal, a newspaper column. Back to the days of being able to afford his own wallpaper.
The problem with all Tory scheming is the people who want the top job want to keep their hands clean.
