The polls are clear: Tory voters want Boris Johnson to go too 🔵 John Curtice for ipaperviews
Meanwhile, Mr Johnson has had to acknowledge – contrary to what was claimed on his behalf previously – that he was made aware of a specific allegation about Mr Pincher’s behaviour when he was a Foreign Office Minister, an allegation that was upheld. Mr Johnson has blamed a lapse of memory for the failure to acknowledge this earlier – but his critics suspect that forgetfulness may have been less than accidental.
However, initial polling on voters’ reaction to the Pincher row suggest that the bonds between the party and those who voted for it in 2019 have now frayed even more. It is too early to tell whether this will translate into a further decline in Conservative support in the polls. So far only two polls of vote intention have been conducted since the Pincher row hit the headlines, and while one recorded a two point fall in the party’s support, the other recorded a three-point increase. However, there is certainly nothing in the polls so far that might help ease Tory MP’s concern and discomfort.
