When Prime Ministers start having problems there is a simple system to follow; blame the media, blame the advisors, blame the Civil Service, blame the Cabinet, oust the PM. But for Boris Johnson one of his many difficulties is that he is the pretty much the whole government. He got elected on one policy, packed his cabinet with ultra loyalists who supported that policy and picked advisors, aides and civil servants, regardless of ability, who would make it happen no matter how damaging it was. He owns this government like no previous PM.
