His hands are tied?

Written all over it?

Small beer?

Went to the grave with him?

Status quo?

The meaning of war is lost on him?

Jumping on the bandwagon

Dropped the baton?

Cold comfort

Go for broke?

Can of worms?

He dug a hole?

Forks in the road?

Hot point?

Catbird seat

Out on a limb?

The inner circle?

Don’t wear it on your sleeve

Don’t take it to heart

Voted with his feet?

True to form?

The penny has dropped

Tail wind?

Deepest pockets?

Little black book

Leaving it at that

The great leveler?

The tipping point?

Bad blood?

The straight and narrow?
