>It is, quite obviously, only the sort of question you get asked if everything really doesn’t seem to be OK. And it is also barely a week since the prime minister had to stand in front of the world’s media, at a huge international conference he was hosting, and explain that, actually, the UK is “not a corrupt country”. It is perhaps worth recalling, at this point, that in what can be considered his first proper week as prime minister, when parliament returned in September 2019, he kicked out 22 of his own MPs, including Ken Clarke and Winston Churchill’s grandson. And it is a certain fact that no other prime minister, in all of British political history, has caused the “needless” (D Cummings) death of tens of thousands of his own people and still maintained a steady poll lead, because nothing even remotely like that has ever happened before.
Boris has always done the bumbling fool act, why are the media just pushing this idea now?
He’s just tired. Think about what has happened to him in the last two years:
April 2020 – ends up in intensive care with covid. Probably took a couple of months to recover, but went back to work immediately because pandemic to manage.
Summer 2020 – baby born, so has to deal with screaming child in cramped Downing Street flat after work.
Autumn 2020 – got married for third time.
Dec 2020 – finalises TCA with EU (which people had said couldn’t be done in short timeframe).
Jan 2021 – vaccine rollout and having to cope with EU hysteria because UK jabbing faster.
June 2021 -G7 and coping with Macron’s hysteria.
July 2021 – re-opening economy and having to deal with lockdown-forever people hysteria.
Oct 2021 – AUKUS deal finalised and having to deal with Macron having another hysterical meltdown.
