> This might finally bring him down, not all the scandals.

I can't tell if you aren't aware he resigned or if your meaning here is that you figure Johnson will stand, be re-elected by his MPs and then pretend everything is back to normal, presumably while continuing to leak MPs to both by-election defeats and defections.

I wouldn't put it past Boris to attempt such a thing, but my guess is that it would be humiliating. There are dozens of MPs who'd back Boris in the hope of some reward, but far more see this as a useless cause and want to be first in line for a ministerial job under one of his rivals who might survive a general election.

"I can't tell if you aren't aware he resigned"

No, I was not yet of that aware at the time of writing.

That is more or less what happened to the first attempt to remove him by the 1922 ctte, though.

> This might finally bring him down, not all the scandals.

He resigned yesterday, he's been brought down. But it wasn't really the economy, I think, as much as people harbouring hopes of being PM getting sick of being made to look idiots by his constantly changing stories.

He's still Prime Minister until he's replaced. Which is probably inevitable, but like in all horror movies you need to make sure the monster is actually dead before your relax.

>This might finally bring him down, not all the scandals.

Didn't he resigned yesterday because of the scandals????

Apparently yes, but my point still stands, that he would have survived 1000s of more scandals, if he would have managed a optimistic economy outlook.

Agree, but brexit won the referendum even though both sides agreed it would be bad for the economy.
