That is a bigger contribution to the UK constitution than many other
people have made.Â* Certainly bigger than Farage's contribution
whether or not you think Brexit a good thing.

Presumably Parliament would be free to change the law (or the effect
of these judgements)?

Certainly. Parliament (as distinct from the Government or the Prime
Minister) is always able to change the law. It is the supreme
authority. And always should be.

Boris is currently unpopular with the public. Yet he has a huge
majority in Parliament. The only way to reconcile these two facts is
to have a leadership challenge soon, now that Brexit is "done".

Boris is a one-trick Brexit pony without any more tricks.

He may manage to evade responsibility for not delivering election
promises, but post-Brexit chaos and mismanagement of Covid will be
firmly put at his door.

No, once it's all gone away, people will just be glad to forget it and
get back to normal. They'll be thankful.

It's hard to imagine how he can be re-elected.

Well, there's no need to worry yourself about that until 2024, is there?

The Tory Party will appoint a replacement long before then.

Why should they after all he's done for them? They're in a very
comfortable position, thank you very much, Boris.

de Pfeffel's in a tailspin. He's ****ed up every single thing that he's
touched.

He'll be gone before the end of this year.

You said that last year as well.

But the latest opinion polls show a nice surge for the Tories. The 'red
wall' approves of The Deal. And its taken the wind out the wee krankies
sails.

Whether COVID destroys him (and many other leaders) remains to be seen.

The one who will be gone by the end of next year is Joe Biden. Kamala
will be president...
