You have to be out to lunch if you can’t see the Tory’s and donors have been lining their pockets, I’m just amazed such blatant disregard and disrespect to the public and their intelligence has gone widely ignored

In a letter to cabinet colleagues, Mr Gove noted that problems at Channel ports will arise “irrespective of the outcome of negotiations”. In other words, the Brexit model that is expected to disrupt the passage of freight, increase the burden of bureaucracy, reduce the volume of trade and slow the economy is one chosen by Mr Johnson. The “reasonable worst case” that ministers warn about is not some accident or unintended consequence. It is a function of the plan they hailed last year as a triumph. And if no deal is done, even worse scenarios are feasible.

I have some sympathy with this viewpoint.
There are too many inept people in the cabinet and Boris looks more and more like a spent force.
I don't expect the rabid Tory haters or those that can't forgive him for Brexit to agree, but for me, Boris was a force to be reckoned with before he became ill.
Now, I fully accept that he has shown himself to be less and less capable, but in my opinion, the effects of Covid are a contributing factor to this (along with the fact that he's proving to be a rather poor PM).

It's hard to spin his time as Foreign Secretary as much of a success - I've not even heard the most loyal of his supporters try that.

I think being London Mayor was a job that played hugely to his strengths - and perhaps his interests like transport - in part as it's a job that doesn't have loads of tough decisions attached to it.

He's unarguably an excellent campaigner too.

Oddly I think he'd actually be much more suited to a US type presidential system where you can get away with being above some of the detail and 'leave that to Congress'.
