If you asked someone to draw a picture of the opposite of statesmanship this is what they'd come up with.
Absolute embarrassment that this idiot is in charge.

You can say that about almost any senior British politician from the past forty years.

The second sentence, yes I can see what you mean. But for all their faults, Cameron, May, Blair and even (shudder) Thatcher had some semblance of statesmanship about them. This clown, however, is a total embarrassment, he looks and sounds like a cartoon.
I remember somebody saying Big Nev was so scruffy he looked like he started each game having just finished his last one. Same with Johnson, every time I see him he looks like he's just been woken up after passing out in his suit after a big night on the Tignanello.

The thing is though how do we define leadership?
Johnson is a coward and a clown, and it’s easy how he fails to meet any definition of good leadership.
Does Cameron (who abandoned his post after Brexit), Blair (who serially triangulated nearly everything), or May (who preferred to be held hostage by the ERG rather than forge a compromise that would have had cross party support) meet that definition any more than Johnson does? They might comb their hair but that’s about it.
Thatcher, it pains me to say, was vastly more a leader than those four are. TBH Kinnock was too.

Got things done, put himself on the front line.
Johnson would have built the exhaust port in order to sneak brasses into the Death Star.
What I don’t get is, he clearly hasn’t bothered washing and brushing his hair, but he’s in full suit and tie.
Worst frauds in government in my lifetime.
It's not even close.
It's not even close.
Just a bunch of corrupt, constantly arse covering chancers with a "born to rule" belief.
It's a shame Labour have been and continue to be hopeless. Basically a one party system because of it. Cheers Jeremy.
