Title With him right until the very end, the Tory press who loved Johnson as one of their own Media name/outlet The Observer Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 9/07/22 Description Parts of the Tory press are already working on their betrayal narratives. That huddle in Downing Street showed that a few Tory MPs will no more accept the fall of Johnson than their predecessors accepted the fall of Margaret Thatcher. Out in the country, diehard support remains, despite all the lies and national humiliations. Rob Ford of Manchester University points out Johnson’s approval ratings are at 23%, the same level Nigel Farage achieved at the peak of Ukip’s success. There’s a minority demand for a charismatic leader to sell the line that the corrupt elite sold Brexit and “the people” down the river. Look out for what Farage and Johnson do next. There’s still a market for them. URL https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/jul/09/with-him-to-very-end-tory-press-loved-boris-johnson-one-of-their-own Persons Robert Ford
