Abstract

Pippa Catterall explains why Conservative MPs have been so reluctant to oust Boris Johnson in comparison to Margaret Thatcher. She writes that a big part of the reason is that Johnson resolved the Tory civil wars over Europe, and in the process of ‘getting Brexit done’ also removed many internal opposition figures around whom internal opposition could coalesce.
