Looking at opinion polls, it seems that as time goes on, Johnson is losing both support and respect. As such it would make perfect sense to postpone the election. The problem is, Christmas, this really means that unless we have the election in early December, it will be mid to late January before the next opportunity - after all these posh Tory boys will not want to move from their log fires and stately homes to actually meet people in December. Also there can only be so much of reduced item size and numbers before the public realise hat there is very real inflation out there. Look at Jaffa cakes, there are now only 18 in a packet where there use to be 20 - or the multipacks of Mars bars- have you seen the size: when I were a lad they were 'fun size' .
