I wouldn't wave Starmer's career around as any kind of example
He has presided over some monumental cock-ups in his time at the CPS, like the Rochdale grooming gangs, Saville and Warboys cases, but seems able to point the finger at others and get away with it.
Johnson is just a chancer who main ability is to surround himself with people who he has a hold over, hence promoting "Bottom" Pinscher. Until it all comes unstuck, but then again Johnson thrives on chaos.

Seeing a live 'resignation counter' on BBC news (currently at 36!) is hilarious. It's like Thatcher in 1990 all over.

He might do but he's up to his neck in brexit so he's going to find it very hard to dodge the blame for the recession
Very few of them now will be able to avoid that

worked his way up from basically fuck all to grammar school, Oxford, the bar, QC, and a knighthood (from a tory government)
Compared to a pampered fat shed with every advantage in life ambling into a journalistic career because of his dad's connections and then getting on HIGNFY a couple of times.
