Johnson is a man who abdicates responsibility.
He rarely promises anything. He bumbles and waffles and doesn't say much at all.
The then delegates all the shitty stuff to other people and they are the ones who end up with egg on their face. When it gets really bad Michael Gove is deployed to keep a straight face whilst spouting utter bollocks.
Johnson went to Manchester to launch his election campaign and promptly stole all Andy Burnham's policys. And no one outside the area went wtaf was that plagiarism all about? Instead he was congratulated on how great his policies were and how popular they were. It was called the levelling up agenda.
This now lies in tatters with lots of very pissed off 'redwall' tories accusing Johnson of failing on this promises and abandoning the north in its hour of need.
Amongst them is leader of the 1922 committee Graham Brady. And Johnson is facing pressures within his own party over it.
On Brexit Johnson's response to criticism of not delivering what he promised, is merely to just shift the goal posts and say 'well this is what i meant all along'. He's very teflon and good at spin. And when all else fails he has his secret weapon whom he can deploy in Pob like wooden fashion.
Johnson's priority is Johnson. Unless we are in for a huge shock he will deliver no deal brexit because he promised no deal is better than a bad deal. Just like he also promised a Norway type deal. A Singapore like deal. A Swiss like deal. The easiest deal in history. A Canadia stule deal. An Australian like deal. And lots of other variations on a theme.
So Johnson doesn't tend to break promises. He just makes so many you can't remember what he promised in the first place and Eastasia has always been at war with Oceania.
