Yep, Gove will be waiting for his moment. Agree unlikely he or anyone else will act now as it's clear this ****show is going to get a lot worse before it gets better, so might as well leave Boris to take the flak safe in the knowledge he's too arrogant and bumptious to ever fall on his sword resign.
What we really need is a statesman, but I'm struggling to think of a current MP who fits that description. I see a lot of career politicians completely out of touch with the real world and ordinary peoples lives, hopes and dreams.
Not afraid to say I had a little cry last night, I really do think that the country we knew prior to March is gone, economically, culturally and politically we will emerge into a very different landscape. It might even be better overall, but right now I feel very worried for the future.
I’m sorry to say I feel the same.
Part of the reason Boris got chosen in the first place was because he seemed to be the least-worst of an appalling line-up (though with hindsight I now think Hunt looks like a statesman by comparison, not that that’s saying much).
It’s precisely because of Boris and this clown-show that I worry for what we’ll have left at the end of this. It’s quite evident he lacks understanding of normal life, and that pains me as it means the recovery phase is likely to see the same poor judgement as we’ve seen through this.
The only consolation is that I continue to think BJ will be gone by the summer. I think there is some truth to the rumours that he would like to find a way of walking away.
Gove or Sunak, what a choice?! I think Gove has more of a brain on him, but it’s still a pretty dire choice. I’ve noticed Sunak has now devised his own brand and logo (the Conservative tree symbol with “RISHI SUNAK” written under it). If that’s not political positioning then I don’t know what is! I’m surprised Boris allows that, but perhaps he hasn’t noticed...
As a population we *must* stop this habit of electing maverick freaks as politicians. It started with the London mayoralty, now it seems to have spread and the result has been we’ve ended up with a useless arrogant stupid clown as prime minister at the worst possible time.
