Not that Johnson cares, for the moment at least.

It shows up both how Labour can be so easily amenable for some tories, and at same time, how awful the majority of tory MPs are, that they're prepared to tolerate Johnson.

And also, it must be said, this tory defect to Starmer's Labour, does have to be commended for making his own stand, regardless whatever we think of Sir Starmer.
