The father-in-law of UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson's closest aide has reportedly said Johnson plans to stand down in six months because of lingering health problems caused by the novel coronavirus.

The Times of London's Diary column reported a conversation between Humphry Wakefield, the father of Dominic Cummings' wife, Mary, and a woman named Anna Silverman last week in which he is said to have told her that Johnson would resign early next year because of the lasting effects of his time in intensive care.

This would make some sense, especially because after a hard Brexit, Johnson will be a huge target for the remainers. But if he resigns and designates a hard core Brexiteer as his replacement, it will solve a lot of problems.

The “new guy” can then purge any remaining problems from the government starting with a clean slate.

He won’t step down until Brexit is complete. Churchill held on practically dead until the end - and those who followed were complete disasters. Until The Iron Lady.

This makes NO sense. If he was that ill, he’d resign now, how does he know how he’ll feel in 6 months? There’s not a one of us who knows whether or not we’ll live to see 6 days from now, but almost all of use will be feeling alright in half a year’s time.
