Smart move by Boris/his advisors.

Seems reasonable, although I wish they'd stop all these jingoistic war references.

Not sure about that. Taking a seriously wartime attitude may actually be the right approach to dealing with something of this magnitude, requiring extraordinary changes in normal procedures and personal conduct, plus a greater-than-usual degree of social cohesion.

Have to say I agree, it hammers home the seriousness of it all.

Your prediction may come true after all Dollers.

His work with the CMO and CSA seems to back up the point your friend / GF made when he first became PM.

You might want to sit down before reading this by BrixtonBlue 24 Jul 2019 13:24
I reckon Boris might be a good PM. My reasoning - my missus has a 'political' job (I won't say more than that) and has had dealings with Boris on many occasions when he was Mayor.

First thing to note - while he himself is an incompetent, he tends to surround himself with a very good team. They advise/make the decisions and he's just the public face.

He'll happily do anything that makes him look good, which means populist measures that everyone agrees would be good (i.e. a fair living wage, benefits for the elderly and disabled, etc.) are more likely to happen.

He's big on green issues (even if it's just to make himself look good) and would cycle everywhere, often being late for meetings because of it.

He's also a very good public speaker, which will be important as PM. She said he'd be given a rather dry brief on a subject, read through it scribbling unreadable (to everyone else) notes on it, then half an hour later be presenting it in a very witty, engaging way, without using any notes. This is actually his one skill, but he's very good at it.

When he talks about "let's get to work" he doesn't mean himself, he means his team. And if he carries on picking a good one it could work out.

Fair point.
