He would lose his support if he changed tack now.

Not like his support is worth anything like, they are the empty vessels that make the most noise.

Here's more from Howell.

I think Jez may just have done a bit of clumsy phrasing, but you don't get the benefit of the doubt so much when you try and blame NATO for the war. Whatever else Johnson is, he's been reasonably clear on that.

Johnson's shit but UK's been good on military support for Ukraine. People know that the Tories will show up with tanks if they have to. They know Corbyn Labour wouldn't have.

I've seen people who support the bloody conservatives make this point. No problem with Corbyn on this occasion - anyone with an audience adding to the pressure on the govt. to bin the idea is welcome. But the hero worship is bewildering, given it would take mere seconds to show that it is neither unique or even particularly well put across.
