Boris Johnson slumps 13 points behind Keir Starmer in most capable PM poll
Boris Johnson has slumped a startling 13 points behind Sir Keir Starmer on who would make the best prime minister, an exclusive poll for the Standard reveals.
The two main political parties have it all sewn up, yet when one screws up it doesn't mean the other will be any better. If the coronavirus debacle fails to teach us that lesson we'll never learn. Starmer would be hammered with the same incessantly bonkers demands from all the usual suspects plus the outright lunacy represented by Angela Rayner.
Starmer has no plan to escape it. No way to avoid the miserable dystopia we are confronted with and apparently no inclination to avoid it.
Tory Steve Baker accuses Boris Johnson of 'creating a miserable dystopia' by re-imposing Covid curbs as he says 'at least' 60 Conservative MPs will vote against 'Plan B' - but Keir Starmer says Labour will back the rules
Whatever the question, Starmer isn't the answer.

Miserable dystopia? I'm wondering which is worse: a world racked by deadly disease while in the grip of inexorable climate change? Or a perfectly viable planet where we do stupid things and make ourselves miserable because we have convinced ourselves that the common cold is terrifying, and that we are destroying the planet? Are the gods against us, or only our inner demons?
The issue as I see it, is that we're hanged if we do or hanged if we don't, which is actually quite a pleasant place to be, as we then ignore both parties and get on without their interference!
Steve Baker is peak faux protest MP, he lead a couple of fringe groups over Brexit with 'we will leave as voted for' mantras, and when push came to shove ie the vote, said oh all right then.
It's all theater.
Sam - it's their inner demons, ours are fine. I certainly think Boris has one.
Scrobs - yes we should ignore both parties and vote for whoever seems most sensible, but most of us won't do that.
Wiggia - in the end they mostly say 'oh all right then'.
If Boris was sufficiently obedient to orders from above his position would be safe. The knives are out, which could indicate that he may be having doubts. Whoever eventually replaces him will be whole lot worse, that's a nailed on certainty.
Andy - yes, much is being made of the potential rebels, but they are a minority.
