Boris Johnson is “unelectable for the Conservatives,” according to James Johnson, a polling specialist who worked for Theresa May while she was prime minister.

While the subject of whether the prime minister lied and deceived parliament is important.

He says that the fact that he was not penalized by the Met Police for the 13 November incident could strengthen the perception that the PM is not held to the same standards as others.

According to James Johnson, this will feed into a public perception that has been building among swing voters since January, damaging the PM’s electoral power.
