Would you not say he is popular with the grassroots labour supporters which helped him get elected leader? And yes he may have recognised that there is a problem with this country and the core Labour support see/even feel this most and has created policies that they are happy to back him on. I'm not arguing that point but he is very much a Labour man with limited appeal out of his own party. Boris is the opposite of that without the well meaning agenda. He too was backed by his members as he wanted brexit at all cost and more police etc. the things that the grassroots on the right love.
I'm not comparing their personalities or competence or anything other than they are wildly popular in their own spheres (well let's hope the shine is already coming of BJ's support) but haven't got broad appeal.

Yes, and its also almost every other Western politician - even Blair used that idea, repeatedly.
....interview on Sky with Amber Rudd’s ‘Special Advisor’, Jason Stein. Special Advisors normally work directly to their Minister, but he explained that they are now all accountable to Dominic Cummings. Stein said the Boris Johnson regime is ruthless, and Advisors are ‘terrified’ of Downing Street.
Interesting insight.

NOT ON THE TABLE: Boris Johnson has said the NHS won’t be up for grabs in a UK-US trade deal – but can he resist the forces of US private healthcare?
BORIS JOHNSON will tell the US president that the NHS isn’t “on the table” in a post-Brexit trade deal, the government propaganda service formerly known as the Daily Telegraph newspaper reported on 24 August. A day later, the equally subservient Sun said Johnson had made it clear to Donald Trump at the G7 summit that “the NHS was not up for grabs”.
However, the babbling fatberg of dishonesty (surely “prime minister of the United Kingdom” – Ed) has a funny way of showing his determination to resist the forces of American private healthcare.
Only a year ago, on 13 September 2018, Johnson was in Washington DC as the honoured guest of the American Enterprise Institute to collect the Irving Kristol Award, named after the founder of neo-conservatism. After singing “The Star-Spangled Banner”, his hosts praised Johnson for valuing “free enterprise” and understanding “the role that his country and our country play in the future of the world”.
Healthcare real estate
The award ceremony was sponsored by Aetna, an American private health insurer that manages 5,700 hospitals. Alongside Aetna’s representatives were co-sponsors from Gilead Sciences and fellow drugs giant GlaxoSmithKline.
Other backers included accountants KPMG, which advised the UK government on the private finance initiative, and Grant Thornton, which only this May was enthusing about an “improved outlook for investors focused on healthcare real estate”. (Altria Client Services, which is part of the conglomerate that controls tobacco company Philip Morris, also sponsored the Johnson shindig. Admittedly, Philip Morris is not in the private health market, but it does its bit by providing customers for the cancer wards.)
Trump’s ambassador to the UK, Woody Johnson, has already said the NHS must be on the table in negotiations over a future US-UK trade deal. In theory, Britain could insist it is not discussed, just as it could refuse to lower food safety and animal welfare standards. In practice, Johnson, who never lets anyone forget he studied classics at Oxford, will surely know Thucydides’ line that in international relations, “the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must”.
Lobbying against regulatory contraints
The US will have the advantage over a needy and isolated Britain, and it is not just Trump and his ambassador who know it. The trade group Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America is lobbying hard against regulatory constraints imposed by foreign countries on its members. The US Biotechnology Innovation Organisation is already telling the US Treasury that any modern trade deal, “including a US-UK agreement”, must include means of holding foreign governments to account if they get in the way of US business.
When Johnson had the chance to speak directly to corporate healthcare chiefs at the Washington award dinner, he said nothing to indicate he would stand in their way. Instead, he declared that Brexit would mean Britain was “able to campaign for pro-competitive policies. That’s the opportunity. And I hope very much that with you guys, with America, we can work together to deliver that agenda.” Triple chlorinated chicken dinners all round!
I’ve mentioned this before but during the 80s, Corbyn was referred to by militant as being ‘soft left’. It’s a horrible indictment of our society when he’s now considered to be some sort of extremist.

Can't believe I sat through that debate tonight. You could say this on a weekly basis but the behaviour of Tory MPs tonight was something else. The laughing, the joking, the shouting; it went well beneath the very low bar they've set for themselves. It would be one of the happiest moments of my life to be sat awake at 6am on a general election night having watched them lose seat after seat.
