Boris Johnson’s missteps and misdeeds have left his party split into multiple factions, all sniping at each other as they careen toward a potential early election with little sense of identity or purpose.
These days the Conservatives aren’t split down the middle over the European Union as they were when Margaret Thatcher, then John Major and David Cameron all lost their grip on power. In the aftermath of Brexit, the breakdown in order is more complete. Brexit supporters who previously backed Johnson have become infuriated by his handling of the “partygate” scandal. But they were also enraged when longtime Johnson critic Tobias Ellwood said last week that the UK should rejoin the EU single market.
The public onslaught, which some suspected had been sanctioned by Johnson himself, hardened some MPs to vote against him, according to two people familiar with the matter.
