Agreed. But Johnson will only give up power if it's wrenched away from him. He's not one to take a hint, however direct that hint might be!

And there is no obvious successor waiting in the wings as there was with Thatcher and Major and Blair and Brown. Sunak has been tarred with the Partygate brush and financial mishandling. (NI increase and windfall tax u-turn).
