....and if Johnson is to recover they would expect him to be coming out of hospital next weekend (18th/19th), those who don't recover leave the hospital 4 days later.
That's a long time in this crisis, and a real power vacuum at the top of the country. I'm no fan of Raab, but someone needs to be given the power to make decisions.
Apparently the next in line list is as follows:
Raab
Sunak
Patel*
Gove
*This is Priti Patel, you may have forgotten she exists as even though she is the home secretary, one of the great offices of state, she hasn't been put forward for a media round or press conference whilst other junior ministers have. |  |

Nicola is the only creditable alternative of the available leaders, she proved during the GE she has the ability, made most of the other party leaders look like amateurish |
While I wouldn't necessarily be against the suggestion, as this is largely a public health crisis and the NHS is devolved to the governments of Scotland and Wales I would think that she would be inclined to stay where she is. |  | | |

The decisions are made by advisors and signed off by cabinet, the thought that Boris makes all of these decisions on his own is miles off |
What do you think a chief exec does? | |

The UK hasn't got one. Not sure how many multi national corporates you have worked in but the chief exec certainly ly doesn't work in the way you think Boris is. They head of the table but they don't solely make or approve decisions. They certainly don't if they are any good |  |

Boris is nothing like Lambert is he?
Now there is a guy makes decisions, leads from the front and is inspirational. We are lucky to have him |

Cummings is still isolating as it is, but with anything there has to be an overall decision maker - because collective decisions will hit barriers - someone has to have the responsibility, like Boris did [Post edited 8 Apr 2020 10:46]

Yes. If there is a Cabinet deadlock, it's now Raab's job to break it, same as it was Johnson's. He is the decisionmaker. For now, he is effectively the Prime Minister.
If, however, he trumpets too much about it at press conferences, it will just come across as arrogant, open him up to extra pressure and perhaps charges of making a power grab wile Johnson is ill. Doesn't serve any purpose. |  |

Who wins then if there are 2 senior members of the cabinet unable to decide? Who breaks the deadlock? | |

It's all a bit pointless though. A politician isn't available to not answer questions journalists are not asking.
How will we cope when it's left to people who do things rather than talk about them? |  |

By initially failing to sack her, and by then describing her actions as a "mistake" whilst praising her generally. | |

Well, under the circumstances, going to check up on the holiday home in Fife was a mistake. The First Minister did explain the need for continuity balanced against the regret that the behaviour required of Scots was not being followed by the person giving that advice. I appreciated the transparency around the decision, being a resident affected by it. | |

Surely if the cabinet reach a decision all cabinet members are equal if a vote is held.
Not convinced if push came to shove that Raab would have the courage to make a decision and then announce it with the degree of conviction required. He doesn’t exactly inspire confidence. |  |

It wasnt a mistake.
A mistake is when you get something wrong unintentionally.
It was a choice she made, in full possession of all facts. | |

Get your facts right. She was born in London. I really do wonder about you. |
If her views to immigration were applied, as a daughter of immigrants, she’d be sent packing and her parents certainly wouldn’t have been welcome here.

It's not a power vacuum.
The PM's stand-in chairs the Cabinet same as he would. Decisions are taken if necessary.
If Johnson is permanently incapacitated, then the stand-in becomes PM until (or if) there's a leadership election. |
Yep, there was a load on Newsnight last night on this.
Raab will simply chair the cabinet who make collective decisions. THe only real decision that have to make is to review the lockdown (on Monday?) which is a bit of no brainer.
Couple of weeks BJ should be back assuming he recovers / recuperates.
If he does end up incapacitated or worse, the Tories would need to sort out a new leader but that is some way away. |  |

Callis does regularly act like a prick on here - especially during the last two or three weeks.
But on this occasion he was joking and didn’t mean his comments to be taken seriously. |
I wasn’t joking.

Reasonable definition off Google:
an act or judgement that is misguided or wrong.
"coming here was a mistake"
Or could be restated as "trying to engage in reasonable discussion with sparks was a mistake"... | |

Exactly. You can make intentional mistakes. Pretty sure many people who have affairs call it a mistake despite knowing exactly what they were doing. | |
