Not a surprise, we have our fair share of racist and crooked Tory politicians, I'm pretty sure Johnson modelled himself on Trump and by extension Truss on Johnson. When lies are not vehemently called out and " Alternative Truth" is allowed to stand you pretty much have the start of the downfall...
I get the feeling he's going to walk. I think deep down he knows he's not quite tactically astute in the important games.
