They aren't the ones who have had to cover for him and unwittingly tell untruths on his behalf ovet the last 3 years.
It's like Corbyn all over again.
If they really want their party to crash and burn at the next election then that is the way to go about it.
When it comes to the membership of a political party being out of touch with the electorate it is plain Labour doesn't have a monopoly on that.

I think you know what I mean ...
Johnson has gone from having the UK political world at his feet to being ousted after 60 resignations from his government,
All the things that tested him - Covid, Ukraine, should actually have been the making of him. At one time he was a hero who nearly died of the virus and he appeared statesman-like when the Ukraine war broke out and looked likely to push Partygate finally out of the news.
But he blew that chance - yet again. His own fault entirely.

I would say how willingly you succumb, Ich, but truth is without Ukraine you wouldn't have had any praise for him at all so your opinions have really gone nowhere. Despite the remorseless pursuance of the merest smidgeon of potential criticism of every aspect of his life, and the unrelenting publicity of anything that could possibly be perceived to be 'wrong', nothing - absolute nothing - he did warranted him being stabbed in the back. There were other reasons for that, which for those too engrossed in the ultimate purpose to spot, or more likely, too disingenuous to acknowledge, will doubtless emerge sooner or later.
“ nothing - absolute nothing - he did warranted him being stabbed in the back”
MPs and ministers don’t like being told to lie if it’s going to be proven wrong next week or tomorrow…. how would you feel if your boss asked you to go on national TV saying something you suspected to be wrong and then three days later it turned out you were right? And then he did it again and again and again…

What I think is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. What matters are the opinons of the people he's worked with for years. (As a matter of fact, in contrast to many Johnson-haters here and elsewhere I have often stood up for him in his handling of some of the Covid stuff)
The great thing about him is in good times he can exude a positive, feelgood air and there's no doubt he writes and tells a good speech. That was his great strength really, appearing to "get things done" in a slightly unconventional way, throwing off the stuffiness and disregarding "the rules". The trouble is you cannot really govern like that and our system is poorly equipped to deal with rogue operators as it happens.
If I was a Tory PM I'd have him in my cabinet as minister W/O portfolio for "Cheering People Up, Thinking up Projects" etc but I'd have him a million miles away from anything where honesty attention to detail were needed.
I hope for the sake of the Tories, and indeed generally, he doesn't become another embittered ex-PM like Ted Heath.
Early signs not good. ...
