He is delivering on Brexit, albeit slowly and in unprecedented times. Brexit was never going to be the sunlit uplands, or the disaster that project fear would have you believe, as the close referendum result hinted.
I don't agree with his/Carrie's green agenda,
Initially his reaction to Covid was to go with the herd immunity route ala Sweden, which was the right way in my opinion, but was obviously persuaded to follow the dodgy science guy Neil Ferguson, so was more than likely going against his instincts to enforce the lockdown. Which has since been proved to have caused much of the mess we are now in.
He has also shown great support for the Ukraine, which you could see how appreciated that was in his meetings with Zelensky.
Directly, apart from keeping Brexit evolving, I am not sure what he has done for me, but like I say we have been in stormy seas, not of his making.
Like I have said in earlier posts, I should be a Labour voter, but their policies have made this impossible.
I try to love my country, Labour not so much.
