Boris Johnson clings to power amid Tory Party upheaval

One thing that does seem certain now is that the question of Boris Johnson's leadership is not going away. The reason for that is the state of the economy.

The UK’s economy is forecast to stagnate next year and to be the worst performing in the G20 group of countries with the exception of Russia according to the OECD. Inflation is forecast to be hitting 11% by the end of the year. This comes as Mr Johnson had to travel to Devon prior to the by-election there to try and get the support of farmers who have to compete with cheaper imports from countries that do not require the same costly environmental standards from their own producers.

One has to remind oneself that Mr Johnson has survived before and has announced he has no intention of quitting.

John_Kilraine It's because of the relentless witch hunt by the left wing controlled media! I've never seen such a long and desperate attempt at removing a sitting prime minister! I didn't care at first but now I hope he stays there just to piss you all off!
