Tbh the Tories would've lost the next election if Boris was still their leader.

I don't think I have ever seen a UK PM so hated before, and I honestly mean that.

I do however think the Tories do need to stand by one of their leaders, because they do have a habit of snaking them rather than riding the storm with their leaders.

But she also had a massive support base from what I can gather, something that Boris has never had.

Tony Blair wasn't well liked toward the end either. He was another one that was a stranger to the truth

Hard to know, people have short memories in politics and the next election is over two years away still. I think Boris' popularity was pretty typical for a government in power and actually held up pretty well given the difficult backdrop

As hated as he was he also inspired considerable support in a sizeable amount of the population, much more than any of his rivals would imo

The Media started turning on him and they decide who the people vote for.

Whenever people have a perception of someone it's always through the media, who was favouring Starmer over Boris.
