Since Johnson has suppressed the obvious will of the people on Cummings. Do posters see appeal to the Will of the people having any potency in the future say , brexiteers?

Not entirely sure of your meaning here.
Generally, "the will of the people" is only usually invoked when it suits the governing party.

Agreed , so,probably next time we hear this it will be Johnson waving his will of the people about.

It got the Tories back in... Do you think he needs to wave the obvious about??

Only in one part of this less-than-united kingdom.
Don't the other three nations count, or are we supposed to worship the English Tory party?

Parliamentary elections don't run on a national basis - your constituency is nominally broadly comparable with any other in the land, and they all count equally. In reality, Scotland's parliamentary constituencies tend to have smaller populations than those in England, so you actually get slightly more of an influence, individually.
Perhaps if the Scottish electorate weren't so stuck on Scottish Nationalism and voted on the general election platform for a party that at least stood in enough seats to win a general election we wouldn't have anywhere near this sort of an issue.
I don't like the Tory party being in power either, but I can't see that voting SNP in a general election achieves anything.
