And that should say it all really.

He actually has indeed.
At least she has never been found by the 2 highest courts in the land to have acted unlawfully while holding power.

Tories aren't loud. They do their talking at the ballot box, generally.

But that applies to literally everyone, there’s a vocal minority and most keep their cards close to their chest. I’d still say the same… I can only base my perception of why people like Boris on the reasons that people actually express for liking Boris - which is that they find him affable/funny. I can’t simply assume that the people who aren’t vocalising their reasons for liking him secretly have other reasons.

Also… the question is about Boris not the Tories and while I’m sure there’s significant overlap it’s not the same question: in the UK people vote for the party, not the leader (supposedly) and I would think that there are probably plenty of people who generally like Boris but don’t vote Tory… and likewise plenty of Tory voters who aren’t particularly keen on Boris.

It's like the Bush & Trump comparisons.

Bush & May were still useless ,but Trump & Boris make them almost look competent.

This is what it's come to with the government, Boris is one of the WORST we've ever had.

She wasn't a great PM, and she's a tory so that's another mark against her, but I do think she was set up to fail and bear a lot of undue hate so that Boris would look better.

To be fair though - they ALL KNEW in advance that whoever took up the role when Cameron hmm hmmmm'd his way out the back door was going to be temporary, was going to absorb a lot of flak, and was essentially just acting as a "cushion" for whoever came next. There's a reason that Boris and all of the other senior Tories didn't step up at the time. May likely knew exactly what she was getting into but saw it as her only opportunity to take the top job... even if it was only ever going to be temporary.

To be fair I think she did the best she could with what she had - which unfortunately was not a lot, with not a lot.

Yeah I understand she was the 'fall guy' so to speak,hence me saying Boris almost made her look competent. As for feeling sorry for her I can't say I have the same feeling as such.

The windrush scandal was one of her worst moments. The sheer ignorance and mistreatment was wrong on so many levels.
Her attitude in alot of things was really nonchalant and lacked alot of genuine compassion , Grenfell is another prime example of that.
