Boris Johnson Odds - Updated Markets following Dominic Cummings Scandal

On Sunday Dominic Cummings’s importance to Mr Johnson was evident when the PM fended off calls for his aide to resign following reports that he broke the government’s coronavirus lockdown rules by travelling 264 miles to his family home.  

But in backing Dominic Cummings Boris Johnson might have misread the anger in the country, that a member BoJo's inner circle could flout the lockdown rules.

The concern amongst Tory MPs now is that Johnson is eroding political goodwill fast and that this will result in him becoming a political liability rather than a unifying "man of the people" PM, which Britain sorely needs in admist the Covid-19 epidemic and the preparations for Brexit.
