Tories say Boris Johnson responded well to the crisis, but the No 10 parties saga is not forgotten.
On Sunday morning, asked if he still believed that Mr Johnson should go, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said: "Look, at the moment the prime minister is obviously concentrating on the job in hand and we stand united as the United Kingdom on that issue."
Whatever their view of Boris Johnson, for the vast majority of Tories it is just not the time for a conversation about changing the leader.One minister says that anyone making public pronouncements about his leadership now would be "off their rocker". This stalwart defender says it has provided a "distraction and a recalibration of thinking" for those who wanted him gone.
In other words, appalling though this situation is, there's a belief that could allow Mr Johnson to reinvent himself after a terribly stormy few months in office, where the consensus was spreading quickly in his party that he was the problem and not the solution to anything. But while the brakes are truly on efforts to move Boris Johnson out of his job, the past can't be totally erased.
The polls are still tricky for Conservatives. Like all politicians they may profess never to look at them, but they all do. Many Tory MPs look at the numbers and see discomfort not reassurance there.
