factor. i think this is very worrying for everybody. where they say as mps in safe seats in prosperous areas pull in one direction and those are important constituencies that those of labour and brexit pulling another. i think thatis and brexit pulling another. i think that is a really pertinent point that is a really pertinent point that whilst boris was doing what boris was meant to do, which is when votes, he was popular and the economist makes the point that his own parliamentary party, his fellow mps, most of them don't have much time for him. what they did see was a golden goose that was laying the golden eggs. they put up with them. while his popularity seems to be going down and there's no sign of it coming up again, i think they will lose confidence and lose patience with him. and i think the public to. it's been fascinating the last few years or really longer than that, ever that sensi was london mayor, people knew what boris johnson ever that sensi was london mayor, people knew what borisjohnson was like, they knew as the economist said he didn't have much of a relationship with the truth. they knew he was a bit of a one good fun in the pub, you were want to be married to him. you wouldn't want to be his employee because we are all the story about him losing his jobs. but people didn't really care, it was priced in as people said. that was boris. but the latest stories are not priced in up until now most of these indiscretions that he was guilty of didn't affect us, they didn't affect you at me, they affected the people he was married to or that he was working with. but these parties are a different type of indiscretion because it shows a lack of care for everybody else. it does show as people keep saying, in us and them mentality. which of course would was not what boris was meant to do. boris was meant to understand how we felt and to be on our side. understand how we felt and to be on ourside. i understand how we felt and to be on our side. i think that's what's put them aside, people who say it's just a party i think are missing the point. if a party i think are missing the oint. ., , point. if i can actually say where that is so _ point. if i can actually say where that is so right _ point. if i can actually say where that is so right is _ point. if i can actually say where that is so right is that _ point. if i can actually say where that is so right is that my -
