Two by-election defeats, the resignation of his party chairman with the parting shot that Conservative grassroots "deserve better than this", and his colleagues back home openly discussing how to change party rules for another confidence vote - none of it seems to bother Boris Johnson. As MPs back in the UK talked - publicly and privately - about how voters had sent the Conservative Party and its prime minister a clear message that things needed to change, Mr Johnson appeared content to plough on as he is, urging his MPs to remember his "golden rule": "Focus on what we're doing, what we've been elected to do, to help take the country forward." The prime minister is renowned for hating to apologise, show contrition or admit culpability - characteristics that his admirers and detractors love and loathe in equal measures.
