The Mail has never warmed to this very Telegraph-based Prime Minister. With roots going back decades, the split between the two Leave campaigns was so bitter that it lingers even four years after they won. I mean, you could understand it if they had lost. But they still hate each other long after they won.
Add in the fact that Dominic Cummings is not, and has never been, a member of the Conservative Party. And here we are, with the likes of Steve Baker and Peter Bone calling on him to resign, and with Bone doing so on Nigel Farage's radio programme.
This is all very familiar. This kind of thing made possible the defeat of the Corbyn Project by the Labour Right. The Labour and wider Left could not get over its internal animosities. Clearly, neither can the Conservative and wider Right.
Red Rishi, that Brexiteer Modern Monetary Theorist, would be good, or at least better than the alternatives, including Keir Starmer. But if someone like Matt Hancock, that protégé of George Osborne's, were to become Prime Minister in time to "extend" the transition period indefinitely while cancelling all the infrastructure investment, then the reason would be that the Right that had briefly coalesced around Boris Johnson had been the mirror image of the Left that briefly coalesced around Jeremy Corbyn.
