Hypocritical tosser. Let's see how much longer he gets away with it. Wouldn't be surprised if his own party axes him within a month.

They won't engage in a coup during this pandemic. It will be seen as reckless to engage in party political infighting which cripples the government capacity to lead (such as it is).

Omicron might be the saviour of the world and the end of Boris too.

I think he is doomed, just a matter of finding a good time to sharpen the knives.

[quote]‘A fire-eater who’s run out of fuel’: European press lays into Boris Johnson[/quote][/b]

The Guardian does a great round-up of the European newspapers and their take on Johnson. There's an awful lot of truth in it...

For El País in Spain, his “magic has vanished”. For Libération in France he is “the only actor in the Boris Johnson show – which is, increasingly, a flop”. In Germany, Der Spiegel asked how long Britain could last being governed “almost exclusively by defiant optimism”.

As the scandals mount, the approval ratings plunge, the electoral defeats accumulate, the rebellions multiply, his trusted Brexit lieutenant jumps ship and the Omicron variant runs rampant, continental media seem – to coin a phrase – in no mood to donner un break to Britain’s beleaguered prime minister.

“Johnson says he accepts responsibility,” wrote Libération. “But for what? The spectacular defeat of his party in North Shropshire, which he himself triggered by supporting the local MP, accused of corruption? The multiple parties under his roof when the country was in lockdown?”

Does he also accept responsibility for “the total absence, for months, of any social distancing measures or masks” in the face of a rampaging virus that has killed nearly 150,000 people, the paper asked. And for “the ailing economy; the plunging foreign investments; Brexit, which still has not delivered the slightest positive result?”

Caveat emptor
The buyers already knew that beforehand, or they should have - same as with DT.
Truthfulness in our leaders just doesn't seem to count any more, just "winning".
