Maybe if he stepped in were Johnson were forced to resign. However the idea of the Tories winning the next election after this sh*tshow is just too depressing.

They'll walk it unless Labour sort themselves out, and I don't see that happening for a very long time.

Have they changed their leader yet?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

They'll announce the new leader in April. It has been an interminable process, and left the country with a chasm where there ought to have been a functioning opposition party holding the government to account. What makes it even more ridiculous is that everyone has know since about late January that Keir Starmer is going to win by a landslide.

What would stick is Boris's leadership, or lack of, during the crisis, and not the crisis itself.

I have seen some of Boris’s pressers and in comparison to Trump he is the bastion of good leadership.

Yes this isn’t hard.

Yes, I think legitimate questions will be asked about that. Again, the challenge will be the newspapers framing the narrative (as unpatriotic persecution of our national hero). Meanwhile, Cummings was already talking about culling the BBC and trimming down the role of the courts. The Russia report and the investigation into Boris's conflict of interest as London mayor seem to have died a death. Let's not assume that justice will always be done and truth will always prevail.

His conference yesterday was just pure waffle. Didn't have a clue what he was talking about.

Same goes for Hancock the "health secretary".

Indeed, the snippets I have seen of Trump has been nothing short of embarrassing, he is a total liability. Time s like this really show how unfit for office he is.

Admittedly, Boris has been better than Trump (not hard as you say). That takes us back to the premise of Nobb's OP, does Sunak look like a 'star' only because he is standing next to Boris? The Americans may have an equivalent 'star', I don't know.

Let's not be giving out kudos to anybody until this is over.

'Kin Right

Maybe Sunak should be listening to his best pals over in the BJP, who are taking a rather different approach to combating COVID-19:
