It looks like the Johnson government is imploding before it has begun. Is this a fair assessment?

I watched Boris and his senior medical guys giving a press conference this evening on the latest developments on COVID19 and I was very impressed.

Thats good news. I know if he was acting like an imbecile you’d call him out so perhaps he is maturing,

@Geoffrey51 He along with the two senior medical people gave a sober, measured press confeence. The attempts at containing the virus are past and the intention is now to slow down the infection rate so that the NHS can cope in a time when they tend to be busy anyway. There was sensible advice to those who may be infected and care of those susceptible to more serious health problems. The worst case scenario is that 80% of the population will be infected and there will be deaths in the vulnerable sections of society.

I don't see any evidence of that.I think Boris's supporters like those of Trump will put up with anything he does so long as there is a perception that Johnny foreigner is kept away. It is interesting that Priti Patel, the home secretary is on record as saying that under the current laws it is unlikely that her parents would have been allowed to immigrate from India as they would probably not meet the criteria.

Give them time for the full effects of Brexit and their right wing immigration policies to dawn on the electorate, and they will realise just how nasty a party they are, and what a huge mistake they made. A large section of the cabinet are already saying that they can’t work with Cummings, and the general analysis by the political gurus is that when the chief advisor, who should be a shadowy figure in the background, becomes the main focus of attention it’s only a matter of time before he has to be brought into line or the government will implode. Can’t come soon enough for me!

The government is just starting to find its way. Daemonic Cummings is currently useful for the aims of the 1922 Committee and will remain in place as log as he is successful.
There is a long way to go with Brexit and my assessment indicates that of the six potential deals none of them will be good for the British people over the next decade or so. The May-bot deal offered a greater level of autonomy and conditions than the Boris bodge-up.
Is it possible that the government will suffer many more casualties along the road of Brexit. Once things begin to level out and we find out what sort deal the UK will be forced to accept, then the likes of Cummings may fall. What the Tories cannot allow is Boris to be seen as the architect of failure.

The fact that significant power seems to lie with a singular iconoclastic advisor is certainly shaking things up a lot. The idea that a chancellor may be deposed by this "eminent grease" is startling. And whilst events like this probably should prove an existential threat to any government; the most alarming thing is that there appears to be no effective opposition or press to call them to account. So no, the Johnson government does not look to me like it is imploding. It looks to be thriving in chaos.

One has to wonder if the Johnson government ever really had any intention of governing, or if the point was to simply drive Brexit through before sitting back and waiting for the millions of pounds made on short-selling pours into Boris and pals' hedge funds as the British economy falls apart.

Interesting the new Chancellor is an asset stripper

@Sofabeast It is, isn't it?

On what do you base your postulation?

Posted by MattHardyA Boris promise is just a lie that hasn't happened yet. Whatever Sue Grey says, no way is Boris going to admit he lied and resign.

Posted by HawkeyeNew to this group, thanks for having me :) Thought I would share something that has had my poor wee atheist brain turning for a few days (the article is a few days old).

Posted by webspider555I’m beginning to wonder whether our government is just incompetent or are all these things happening just to get us in a rage arguing amongst ourselves.
