Boris's latest baby birth hasn't done it this time

It looks like Boris Johnson is finally running out of steam. Political steam. Normally the birth of yet another Boris baby would knock away all the bad stuf from the front pages and give him a breather while photographers gather round to take pictures of a smiling prime minister. But the birth of his seventh child came and went and got buried as more and more bad publicity hit the headlines, perhaps the worst one for Boris being the latest poll figures which show Keir Starmer, Opposition Labour leader, is miles ahead of the PM. The furthest ahead for Labour since 2014. This is seriously bad news for a man who loves being the most popular politician in town. Boris's fall from grace is all about Christmas parties and quizzes and having jolly fun in Christmas 2020 when everyone else in the country was hibernating to keep safe from Covid. Lockdown for Boris was it seems a very different matter than it was for the rest of us. That sticks in everyone's gullet because it looks as if Boris thinks to himself, "I'll do what I want because I'm prime minister but I'm going to make jolly sure the good British people do as they are told and stay at home in misery". I thought it would all blow over but there's a helluva momentum going on and I think Boris for once is in real trouble. Could there even be a putsch against him from within the Conservative Party? No I don't think it will go that far. But unless he gets some miracle good news, like for example the disappearance of the Omicron variant of Covid, 2022 is going to be an increasingly bad year for Boris.
