It confirms my worst suspicions of how the rest of the world sees us. The chair of the 1922 Committee, Sir Graham Brady, may already be in receipt of the 54 letters necessary to trigger a vote of no confidence in the Prime Minister. But he’s holding off from making any announcement until after the country has thrown a huge party for the Queen.
Her Majesty, of course, has seen it all before. Boris Johnson is her 14th prime minister, and that is only of the UK. She has had more than 170 people serve as heads of government from across the Commonwealth.
