Boris Johnson is due to speak to the House of Commons after the publication of Sue Grey’s report.
The report was more significant than many expected and revealed that 12 meetings of government officials during the COVID restrictions have met the limits of police scrutiny.
The big question right now: Will he survive?
For what it’s worth, ahead of the Prime Minister’s address, here’s what their own legislators are thinking. Holding on to it, Johnson’s biggest skeptics resigned. He thinks he will knock Cain down the street and seize power, no matter what damage it does to the governing Conservative Party.
Moderates think Johnson’s short-term fate depends on how apologetic he is. If he feels the PM is not sad enough, he will let them know at a meeting of the backbenchers later today.
And those still backing Johnson are deeply concerned that their trigger-happy allies are ready to go against the prime minister, without considering what happens next.
If anything, these next few hours may be best remembered for his entire time at the office.
