"Surveys suggest voters want a different Tory leader to contest the next election, but Boris Johnson is determined to stay and fight whatever Sue Gray and the Metropolitan Police’s investigations into the Downing Street gatherings uncover.
Pollster Chris Curtis from Opinium said the PM “has the kind of approval ratings that it's somewhere between hard and impossible for a political leader to come back from”, but in recent days his allies have been shoring up his position, with the so-called “shadow whipping” operation cautiously optimistic they have put down the potential rebellion.
Culture secretary Nadine Dorries, one of Johnson’s biggest supporters, even went as far as mocking the so-called “pork pie plot” by MPs seeking to oust him on Twitter, showing there is confidence the PM could ride this controversy out."
.....Bit of luck he'll stay and bring the party down with him.
