Regardless of your usual political leanings, are you backing Boris to get us through this situation. Do you have confidence in him? I am backing him by doing what he says and I have confidence in him and in Chancellor Rishi.
You?

I’m not gonna hope he fails, cause if he fails, even more people will die, but I feel like he’s doing an awful job so far, he’s lagging behind all the evidence from across the world, he hasn’t put across a clear enough message and he’s just generally not doing enough, he purposely let things carry on and get to this point, IF he turns it around, pulls his finger out and things start to improve as a result of any action he takes, then I’ll give it to him, but as it stands, he’s completely incompetent.
Rishi is the man though.

Nope, completely incompetent, the death toll from this will be terrifying due to his slow response and lack of action.

I think they are doing a good job, I think the shielding is currently taking priority, lock down in the next few days, there have been enough warnings I think Boris’s only fault is thinking that people care about others

Him and Cummings need to seriously rethink their strategy. At this point I just want this over with, so enforce the lockdown already and let's see this through.

He really should’ve acted quicker and now we’re facing the consequences of it, but I’m sure he won’t be too upset considering the disabled and pensioners are the most likely to die from it, those that get a pension/disability benefits.

Going on Holly and Phil talking about letting it run through the country, then wonders why people are confused.

Cummings, his chief advisor, today quoted in the Sunday Times (tory establishment) talking aout how he was willing to sacrifice old people for the economy.
Amazing what a posh accent and a tv pedestal does to the population.

‘People are going to die no matter what we do, it’s unavoidable!’
‘Why aren’t people listening to our advice about stopping people dying? I’m confused’ There has been no direct, straight action taken, he’s swayed every step of the way, he needs to lead from the front, not just leave it up to people’s discretion, thousands of lives are at stake and frankly, it seems like he couldn’t care less

I think he does care. He has looked worried and harried all week. He is a human being at the end of the day. Much rather have him than Theresa May for example.

I don't trust the Tories and I never will. They've done good by guaranteeing people's wages but things wouldn't have gotten this bad if they acted earlier and Boris' callous approach of letting people die was probably one of the grossest political decisions I've seen in my lifetime.
Safeguarding people's finances was a good start but I wouldn't attribute it to Boris, he seems to have some good people telling him what to do, at least. |

I think it's easy to forget the suddenness with which this has all exploded. Nobody was contemplating a situation like we have now 2 or 3 weeks ago. Only 2 months ago the Chinese were assuring us that the virus couldn't be transmitted from person to person. It's a completely new phenomenon which is not well understood and the science behind it is changing all the time. I think the very least we owe any government trying to respond to this is to cut them a bit of slack because there is no precedent for this and there is no 'right' course of action. I'm already dreading all the smug commentators who use the power of hindsight in a few months time to cast blame on various figures and tell the tale of where it all went wrong. Imo we should all just be grateful that we don't have to carry the burden of decision making over the lives of millions of people.
