Can anyone in England help me understand what is going on with Boris Johnson? (not the runaway hair ... the job status)
The TV headlines here keep making it like he is fighting for his political life, but when I delve into the stories, each so-called "scandal" seems to me as quite trivial stuff.
Like, some random staff member he hired was known to be a bit promiscuous (but isn't that considered normal there?)
Or, he went to a party during covid lockdown. (So did all our politicians and their reputation is none the worse for it).
It just seems like relatively minor things that should blow over, what's the BIG stuff considered to be? Is it what I have mentioned or different?
