What a first week in the job this has been for Boris! He sacked 21 MPs and lost his majority, lost all four of his four first votes in Office, lost control of Commons business, lost an attempt to prevent a law passing that will force the request of a Brexit extension, failed to get an election called, faced a barrage of contempt in the House of Commons and his own brother has quit while implying Boris isn’t acting in the national interest. It couldn’t have gone much worse, but could Boris turn this all to his advantage?
