To those who think he is just some buffoon, the Public Accounts Committee announces that the UK’s pandemic planning an ‘astonishing’ failure.

I Think he is a first class Prat.

[fiction-factory]

I though You might Think that, gulliver.
Whilst the response was bumbling at times, the PAC has criticised the government over pandemic planning since the 2016 exercise. Boris was not in charge for most of that period

[Mozz71]

Didn't the four parts of the union all adopt different coronavirus responses?

Oh Hymie, remember that for many of Boris' fans on AB, going full Trump is an absolute bonus. They worship Donald even more than they do Boris.

[Togo]

Believe me Boris was not up there to fanny about with the residents. He was there for the hand over of Poseidon to the MOD at Lossiemouth.

You have to remember,Hymie,Trump is half Scottish....oh,and he is a nationalist also.Should tick all the boxes for the SNP.

When I saw him on that quayside, I thought he looked like one of the trawler men in work gear. Scruffy git! Michael Foot was a dapper in comparison.

The union hasn't co-operated on the coronavirus response at all, so it's ridiculous to say it demonstrates anything about the union.

'The union hasn't co-operated on the coronavirus response at all, so it's ridiculous to say it demonstrates anything about the union.'

Like I said, full Trump mode.

[royfromaus]

Like I said, plenty of cooperation with furlough.

I read that the English taxpayers are to gift the sparsely populated Highlands and Islands an extra £500 million.

Scottish independence can't come too soon!

How does that inhibit his ability as a politician? Albert Einstein was no snazzy dresser either.

[diddlydo]

It behoves those in positions of authority to dress appropriately in public.

[Bobbisox1]

Well it's from the BBC so it must be unbiased ( snigger)

[dannyk13]

diddly //It behoves those in positions of authority to dress appropriately in public.//
Why?

[douglas9401]

Why??!! Dominic Cummings, that's why.

Scruffy leads to scruffy thinking.

[dannyk13]

I wouldn't call Cummings public figure, rather a man behind the scenes.

[iluvmargie]

You only gave two options there, I neither think he's the Messiah or a buffoon, just someone trying his best to do his job in unprecedented times which cannot be easy. Sometimes he gets it wrong, like having to wear a mask after four months in or be fined, he's like you Hymie, human after all.

[douglas9401]

"... those in positions of authority..."

[dannyk13]

"in public"
