By Negar Mortazavi and Sina Toossi, December 08 2020

Sorry, Boris Johnson Will Not Disappear

By Craig Murray, December 08 2020

It is currently popular among those who make money writing media articles about politics, to argue that Boris Johnson will implode next year and be replaced as Tory leader by someone more rational and conventional.
