It's just that he is snookered by what he inherited. Johnson threw away the massive political mandate he had and Truss came in and set what remained on fire.
Now he is finding it difficult to turn it around because of the underlying problems in the country. He may be somewhat responsible for some of the economic conditions due to having been chancellor but the problems around housing, the NHS, and the economy predate him. He is paying the political debt of the previous administrations.

Bin him for Keir Starmer, who may not exude personal charisma and has not yet demonstrated he has a comprehensive plan for government, but at least gives the impression that he knows what life in the UK is actually like for most people.
