Boris Johnson's Greatest Fear

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

65% : Johnson surely hopes that Brexit, and Britain's successful vaccine program, will outweigh his flaws when the historical record is written.
58% : Here is a sample of his political record after delivering Brexit: He "lost" text messages that could have proved that he asked a Tory donor to pay for new wallpaper in his Downing Street apartment; he rejected his own ethics adviser's findings that one of his ministers was a workplace bully; he "crashed the car" by defending a Conservative politician who was found to have broken lobbying rules.
55% : But Brexit is done, underwhelmingly done, and the adrenaline rush of Britain's split with Brussels has been replaced not with the rejuvenation of outlying regions but with never-ending battles over borders, import tariffs, and food standards.
43% : None of that was supposed to matter in comparison with the great project of Brexit and the related task of "leveling up" the poorer areas of Britain.
