i think Boris is putting an optimistic face on everything because that's what he has to do as PM. Who would want to run a country during a pandemic, and pile on top of that a new baby and a near death escape from covid. You don't have to like the guy (which i don't) to understand the effect all that could have on someone. I can see him waiting until Brexit deal negotiations are complete and then disappearing into the sunset, and i wouldn't blame him
