And yet and yet his ratings are through the roof - welcome to the real in realpolitik.
He's only 4mths into a 5yr term and he won't be able to, nor have the need to, parley it into a possible feelgood election victory like maggie did post falklands.
When he might really need it, 2 or 3 yrs down the track it'll all be gone.
Voters are fickle, with short memories

Question: if that clueless [Poor language removed] had been standing day after day reading out the horrific numbers others have had to repeat rather than him - who's been hiding out for the last two weeks - and if there were half a decent media in this country asking the questions that need asking of a PM overseeing an outrageously bad performance on lockdown, testing and protective gear for the NHS, do you think he'd be getting good ratings?

That’s simply untrue. I’ll quote you again from 2015


‘The idea of Boris in charge scares the crap out of me. The world is a dangerous place at the moment and while most of this debate has been internally focused on the economy, defence and International relationships are going to be crucial over the next ten years.


You know fine well he’s a charlatan. You just don’t want to admit it as you voted for him.

You are quoting from 2015 when Cameron and Osborne we’re running the country, in 2016 when Cameron packed it in, I wanted Boris, and seeing as you are so good at this I’ll let you dig out the posts....

That's absolute rubbish and so typical of you.

The idea that the government caused thousands of extra deaths is absolute conjecture on your part - acting in total ignorance and with a huge element of bias.

The UK isn't China. I believe a scaled, phased lockdown on the back of a clear narrative that this virus issue was serious and wasnt going to go away was the right one.

The UK population is a difficult one to control at the best of times and a nuanced message was needed. Also many business had a chance to prepare for home working etc in a way that couldn't have been done overnight.

I'm even now coming round to the idea that it's actually fortunate we had this decade of austerity as the UK will have a much better chance of bearing the cost of this crisis going forward than if we had chosen to try and spend our way out of trouble years ago post the financial crisis of 2008-2010.

I dont like a lot of what the Tory government did over the last decade or so but that's not leading me to just accept your blanket level of crap and abuse.

It's not conjecture on MY part. It is the considered assessment of many clinical experts.

"Fortunate to have had austerity".

FFS, get a grip.

So Boris went from dangerous to acceptable in the space of a year? You’ve been blinded by your desire for brexit here
