Conservative MP David Davis has warned that Boris Johnson’s premiership is facing “death by a thousand cuts”. The heavy losses in the local elections dealt another blow to the wounded prime minister. Are we watching his slow and painful demise?
Johnson appears to have survived the bruises – nearly 500 lost Tori seats – without shouting loudly about his resignation from Tory’s back judges. We have not seen a significant number of new MPs speak out against him in public.
But there are signs of a new uncertain period for the prime minister. Tory MPs at the heart of the Blue Wall in the South of England are afraid of worse-than-expected results. They now have clear evidence of how much voters hate the idea of parties violating Downing Street law.
