Despite getting the blame for all Covid cobras, Tory party still has a workable majority. How open does the goal have to be for Labour to score?

The Tories have an 89-s’est majority.
Some might say a reduction to 30 in the space of 8 months was quite impressive.
Others, perhaps more wisely, might echo the usual point made by Conservative supporters, that it’s irrelevant as there’s no election in the way

80 seat majority even

I don't think it's worth getting either excited about or defensive of the polls right now, although I would like to point out that trajectory is also relevant. The Tories had an incredibly strong position earlier in the year, and they are gradually slipping from that, and it's unlikely that this is as far as they can fall.

While they keep making indecisive U turns, it'll continue to drop. The economy going down the pan because of a desire to remain shielded from disease, and therefore immune forevermore, won't help either.

Watch the ratings after this is widely known. Boris tells the EUSSR to do one after they insisted that Britain could not encourage it's own businesses and interests above those of the EUSSR's. Talk about bare faced cheek. I should think that Boris is laughing his bits orrf.

Plus wee Burney may have big trouble on the Horizon come next year with the Alliance for Unity movement led by George Galloway.

It's all a bit pointless at the moment.

Polls will be showing people who will sound off at their disgust of the way Johnson has handled the virus - like myself.

However come a general elections would I put my X next to Rodney?

In addition it has to be remembered many voters 'lent' their vote to Boris to get us out the EU. He has done this, we are out so I would expect many of those lent votes to return to where they came from.

It rather depends, Jim, on whether or not Boris delivers the sort of Brexit that was voted for. Any fudging on the issues of fishing, level playing field, freedom from EU laws etc, will bring the wrath of not only the newly acquired seats on his head, but also that of established, but narrowly held Tory seats. In fact, it could be a wipe-out. I'm sure he's aware of that, or at least I hope so. A good, clean Brexit will clear him of a lot of other sins/incompetencies.
