The job of any PM, particularly at a time of crisis, is to be a figurehead, a leader and first rate communicator. Unfortunately he seems to have failed on all those counts hence MA’s alleged 25/75% approximate success/failure rate in terms of the Government’s handling of Covid.
The other main job of a leader, and I appreciate that this was done with only Brexit - and not Covid - on the immediate horizon, is to choose a good team/Cabinet to implement strategies.
Looking at the current bunch it seems likely that only Hancock and Sunak might emerge with any eventual credit. Words fail me as far as the child like Williamson, the rabbit in the headlights Gove, ‘Cruella’ Patel and ‘Arthur Daley’ Jenrick are concerned. Not good choices at all imo.
You will forgive me if I don't share you enthusiasm for Hancock, he is useless and as for Sunak, well eat to help out was supposedly one of his ideas, so not so sure that compared to the other useless ****wits, its not just that in comparison he seems partially sentient. Anyway Sunak has done the easy part, doling out money, the hard part comes post pandemic.
