It’s possible. Feels like politicians have learnt they can just ride things out and there will be no repercussions. Maybe things changed after the Iraq war

If it’s not in the papers they don’t give a damn, news one day chip paper the next........

I've a funny feeling this Arcuri affair business may bring him down. Be ironic that the whole lying to shut down parliament gets ignored but this is what does for him

Possible I guess. Like we’re saturated with ‘news’ so a single narrative doesn’t stay prominent for a long period of time.

Gets rehashed, I should not use term "news" really particular the mass media, more opinion outlets for various lobbying and subsequent agendas. However, if people are more than smug to see their political opponents put through the mill it's only fair everyone is treated the same...

I don't think it will. It's too much a local government affair. Of course, in former days, he'd never have made PM but there's been a change in attitudes in public life.
Even the old crusties being interviewed outside the Tory conference last week were smiling indulgently on Johnson's scandalous behaviour.

I wonder if Johnson still believes that the chance of a No Deal Brexit is 0.0001%
