I think we are on a precipice, if Boris/this version of the conservative party ends up with another term, every watchdog/arbiter that was once at least somewhat independent will be answering to Downing Street directly. There is nothing naive or bumbling about these plans, so don't explain Boris away in that way please. He is turning out to be a scary authoritarian and given enough leeway, **** knows what happens next.
