Boris could very easily be taken down over this crisis, not by Labour necessarily but I can see him being replaced by a new Tory prime minister well before the next election is due. The press won him the election, no question about it, and they will turn on him soon enough, for very different reasons than the people suffering at the bottom will want him gone, but it will happen. The man is an archetypal public school buffoon, I can't think of a better example in the entire history of politics.

Trump on the other hand could kill off half his own population and still survive, so long as he's up against Biden. Some of the footage coming out of Biden clearly suffering from the onset of dementia is unreal. People have made jokes about previous president's mental capacities but Biden is on another level, you think you've seen it all in American politics but this is absolutely incredible.
