On the night of the 2019 election, Boris Johnson's promises, combined with disillusionment with the then Corbyn-led Labour party, resulted in a momentous Tory majority.
However, nine months on, public support has decreased after the party's handling of coronavirus, the exams crisis that was created without exams, and Brexit doesn't appear to mean Brexit.
But then again, is the government in an impossible situation?
We are, as we're constantly reminded, in 'unprecedented' times - so therefore is Mr Johnson's only real option trial and error?
Ahead of parliament's return next week, we discuss whether the government policies that won the Tories December's election can evolve to survive, the budget and get a sneaky glimpse into life working for the PM.
On the Sky News Daily podcast, our deputy political editor Sam Coates is joined by previous Conservative MP Nicky Morgan, Paul Goodman, editor of Conservative Home, which provides news for Tory grassroots, and Justine Greening - who held a series of cabinet posts under Theresa May.
