People with this info will release it at a time most beneficial to them... ...which is rarely a good time for those accused. Thats always happened. And is normally best to ignore...
...but there has been a non stop series of similar stories, each time Boris has either outright denied or refused to answer. He's now a lame duck, trying to appease his backbenchers who control how long he can survive.
The tories have done their dozen or so years in power, after which time they self implode.
I think before long the knives will come out for Boris and they will install a new leader to steady the ship, before going on to win the next election.
Everybody seems to think a leadership contest will be between Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak, but I wouldn't mind betting someone else no ones thought of will come in from the left field to steal the crown. 
I'm getting a feeling that people are thinking the Tories have gone back to the early 90s sleaze days. So I wouldn't bet on them winning a GE.
My next vote will likely be tactical to remove that useless piece of self centred nothingness, Ms Leadsom, who seems more in tune with London needs than that of her constituents. Tactical, because this area is stauch Blue.
I would! 
Labour are nowhere near winning an election and I'd compare them to Kinnocks era where they are desperately trying to shake off the loony lefties. Their Blair type figure who will firmly take Labour back into the centre ground hasn't emerged yet.
Sir Starmer's recent patriotic act was very unconvincing and I think any decent Tory campaign manager will attack Labour for being soft with the EU and will accuse them of wanting to unravel Brexit and do deals with the SNP, which unless they can convincingly win middle England they will have to do to get the keys to No 10.
Bunter has also pissed off the 'red wall' of ex Labour voters.
There is a couple of years before the next election so Boris (or a new leader)may have time to sort things out.
Proper clown though. 
Enough for them to go back to a Labour party that would be seen as soft with the EU or might have to do a deal with the SNP to form a government?
Also we shouldn't discount the fact that as Boris Johnson's Tories have shifted to the left with their big state, tax rises and expensive green policies, they have left a vacuum to the right that could be exploited by a party like Reform, like UKIP did a decade ago.
I think any party that challenges the lunacy of the uncosted Net Zero policy that nobody voted for, for example, could gain some traction. They might not win an election or even any seats, but could influence the Tories if they saw support ebbing to the right as happened with Farage's UKIP.
