As nice as it would be to think this is the result of that single doctor challenging the health secretary to his face on TV, the real factor at play here is Partygate.
Downing street destroyed its own mandate by failing to follow it. They proved in no uncertain terms that they themselves are not concerned enough about covid to cancel their own celebrations and social gatherings, even though they expected the rest of the nation to do so.
This is not about the power of the little guy to break the narrative. This is about Boris Johnson's rush to save his position as Prime Minister.
You act like Boris being caught is the first time we've seen The Elites™ not following their own rules. Hell, I still remember Lori Fishface breaking lockdown to get a haircut and claiming it was a "sting operation".
Does nobody remember shit like the G7 summit? There's numerous examples before partygate of the elites (Boris included) not taking the virus as seriously as they expected the rest of us to. Partygate was the final straw of a long line of straws that people are no longer willing to put up with.
As ever, I think the biggest difference is reach, not magnitude. Most people aren't engaged in politics. I'm only here because gamergate invaded my gaming hobby, otherwise I would still not give a shit about politics to this day; I might not even have been reading the news. 90%+ people haven't been paying attention, but Partygate extended into the mainstream consciousness, so even the covidiots can't ignore it.

There's a bit of a difference between a city mayor and the defacto leader of a nation.
That's an importance level of several orders of magnitude.

I think a big part is the optics of the Queen grieving alone.
Not that they care but the knives have been out for Boris for a long time.
The new leader will reintroduce restrictions in the future.
How though?
These poli fucks have been getting caught over and over and over again the whole time.
Obama. Newsom. Pelosi. Etc etc
Doesn't count if they're a leftist.
