As I expected from someone who should in my view have never been an MP never mind Prime Minister.

Shockingly bad, full of deceit and lies.
Lip service compassion and lip service to most serious issues.

The only real thing I personally can say about Johnson is he's a master of little else other than political deceit and politically lying.

He maybe not under the views of around two thirds of current heartless hardline Con voters.
However I think history will record him as the worst ever choice of a Prime Minister.
Who actually descredited far more than any other before him,the office of Prime Minister.

To put it simply, in my view he can't be trusted in anything he says.
Nor can you ever really know what this inept PM is even really thinking let alone likely to do.

Not a scrap of integrity about him I say.

Well GoldHeart, not surprisingly I agree with you again.

He may well act out the village idiot village clown.
However he's a very dangerous and untrustworthy one at that.

While I hesitate to be fair to BoJo, most of his premiership has been taken up with Covid, so we don't know how he'd have fared in normal times.

However, I've not been impressed with his handling of the pandemic.

His own party couldn’t stand him and he was as mentally challenged as his brother

For an example he wouldn’t condem the terrorists in the Ira and was friends with the top men in the ita when they killed women and children and you think he would be a good leader of this country

I like the fact he has never dictated to the population during the pandemic and trusted us to make our own decisions.

Default 2 years of BORIS as PM - how do you feel its going?

He has plenty of support but the vast majority of that support is rooted in those people thinking “he’s sooo funny”.

And that should say it all really.

Actually I gave you more credit for at least reading people's posts.

However nowhere did I say Corbyn would have been a good leader of the Country.
I wouldn't know unless he had been elected.

I said as to genuine compassion,he would beat this creep of a PM hands down.

Corbyn was never my choice for Labour leader either.
However he CANNOT be compared as a PM to Johnson as no one knows how he would have acted if elected to power.

We can judge Johnson and all I see from him is actually more of abuse of power from becoming PM.

You may possibly admire that, I don't.

Just to point out that labour was the richest party under corbyn because of donations, and now they're sacking everyone because they have no money under starmer, for the "his party couldn't stand him" intellectuals. It was the right wing of his party that not only couldn't stand him but actively worked against him to elect Tories.

His disastrous showing in 19 was still a 10% increase in vote share from Brown and Miliband. Just pointing some facts out...

Corbyn was constantly praising the efforts of Jacinda Ardern, so if you want to know how Corbyn would have tried to manage the pandemic, looking at their policies is the closest to an accurate guess.

Thinking overall on them.

John Major, I don't think he got a fair crack of the whip.
Especially from his own party.

Equally so, Gordon Brown, I feel he may have used the massive overall majorities given to Blair better.

Actually I don't really seem to like any who get elected party leaders or get to PM.

From the past, good PMs for me would be Attlee and Wilson for Labour.
McMillan and Heath for the Cons.

There's qualities of strength I would have admired in Thatcher although I think in the end she went too far.

Pre 2nd World war, it was mainly only the Cons who won and I'd say those PMs did their best.
Post war with a differing choice of Cons to the right and Labour more to the left.

Then real choices emerged.

There's really none I could say would be good PMs who didn't get elected to be.
Because I can only fairly judge those who have had the office of PM.

With one exception, I would have liked to have seen what Labour's John Smith would have done as PM, had his life not been cut short before he was.

If I had to however only choose one PM for making real effective change as PM.
Then it would be Attlee.
For the NHS and then social reforms he achieved during his 6 years as Prime Minister.
Someone who changed things really for the better in my view.

I have to end with however, no previous PM in my view, was lacking so much as to integrity as this current holder ( sadly), of the office.

I shall rephrase just for you, Livia:

The vast majority of the support I see being expressed for Boris is "lol he's sooo funny".

If people have other/better reasons for supporting him then they're not sharing them much... and who am I to assume that the reasons they're expressing aren't the real reasons? After all, I'm not a mind reader...
