I am still slightly shocked by the ambivalence or even in some cases support for him from the vast majority of tory MPs. I've always been ideologically opposed to their politics and they've always had a large minority of borderline far-right bigots amongst their ranks.
But I always assumed at the very least, most of them respected the rule of law, respected our constitution and would expect the holder of the office of PM to maintain certain minimum standards of behaviour, honesty and accountability. Even with many of the more moderate Tory MPs being purged for their opposition to brexit, I would previously have expected more of them to be saying enough is enough by this point.
Shame on them that they haven't. Johnson is what he is. A narcissistic self serving creature with psychopathic traits. He'll never change.
However, for the rest of them who refuse to speak out, surely any pretence of decency or patriotism they might previously have tried to maintain is surely long gone? I think its now safe to say without much doubt, the vast majority dont give a **** about the country, its laws, its reputation or its people.
The only reason to continue to back Johnson at this point is for their own personal gain and i think even right wing commentators openly admit the only reason they'll now turn on him is if it becomes clear him continuing will directly affect them personally.
