Is 'Planet Boris' finally going to implode? bbclauraK on the prime minister's chaotic week in Downing Street
There have been miscalculations and missteps - attempts to change the rules to protect one of their own, Owen Paterson; the disastrous efforts to close down stories about Christmas parties last year, and most recently, a fine for the Conservative Party over the financing of Mr and Mrs Johnson's lavish renovation of the No 10 flat.
The atmosphere inside is described as deadly silent, horrible, as if the lights are on, but no-one's really home. One of them told me that Downing Street has become "like a theme park of soft decision-making and avoidance". According to this analysis, moderates who might see themselves as "internationalists" are grumpy about foreign policy and the government's cuts to foreign aid. The Brexiteer gang are cross that he's not being tough enough about Northern Ireland.
Many MPs are hopeful it could end up with a new Downing Street operation. One said there needs to be a "clear-out of the 'born to rule' cabal", suggesting that the recent fiascos were inevitable given who has been around the PM. Two sources have told the BBC Mr Doyle's resignation was offered but refused, although No 10 has denied this happened.
Yet this week it feels sentiment has moved in the Tory party, with more and more of his own side imagining what life might be like under a different leader.Carrie Johnson gave birth to the couple's second child this week, a daughter A former minister admits they have been approached about exactly that twice in a matter of days, but cautions that to act any time soon would be "collective political suicide". With the pandemic still raging, the economy pretty fragile, and only two years on from the last election, would the public really want to indulge the Tory party tearing itself apart in public, yet again?
