....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. |  |

Sunak is the only with any credit at the moment.
No-one can forget Raab isn't aware of the existence of the English Channel, and Patel is simply a nasty piece of work who was as recently as couple of months ago demonising the very people who are the lifeblood of the NHS.
Gove can't be counted as he is self-isolating as a family member is showing symptons. |  |

That list is like picking which turd smells the best.
Sunak is the only one I might consider alright and only because he's not been around long enough to really say I know much about him bar what I've seen at the briefings.
Raab is an utterly soulless human being, as is Patel. Gove is a weasel. |  |

Or would a Government of (cross) national unity be better? With Nicola in charge... |  |

That would be priti 'I am definitely not a bully' patel.
She's not got long left in government. |  |

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. |  |

She was born in London for chrissakes!
But it is ironic that if her parents had stayed in Uganda for another decade they would probably have become refugees. | |

Patel would have already gone if it wasn't for the timely intervention of Corona. |  | | |

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 |  | | |

The desperation of the UK media to make out that the country is going to crumble into the sea unless we have a designated decision maker is bizarre. The questioning yesterday at the government press conference was embarrassing, they all just kept asking the same thing in a different way |  |

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. |  | | |

Because Raab was unable to give a straight answer, I appreciate a lot on his plate but he’s now the figurehead and needs to be able to give the answers | |

He told them it is a collective decision but they kept pushing for overall control. Does it really matter anyway? Is it really that important?
The answer is Cummings anyway | |

I thought the same. With that bore Peston and the BBC woman along with some of the others, it’s all about them. They wanted to tell the world of government chaos and power vacuum regardless of responses. There isn’t a power vacuum. Peston and co will know this having done the politics job for years. It just doesn’t work that way. However late and inadequate the response has been, its more to do with decision making incompetence than chaos. |  | | |

Besides, our know it all former civil servant assured us three weeks ago that the civil service had taken over the running of the government and crisis from the politicians. |  |

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]

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 | |

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 | |
