Boris Johnson criticised after 'missing five Cobra meetings' at start of pandemic

The report follows years of claims Mr Johnson is more comfortable in the public eye than he is with matters of policy – with suggestions going back as far as his time as mayor of London that his leadership style tends to see him delegate sooner than dig through detail.

Would be interesting to know what he was doing instead

On 27 Feb, Greta Thunberg, the BBC and the media, over 15 thousand children flaunted TRUMP'S travel bans of 7th Jan. You all called TRUMP RACIST. W.H.O. covered up for China, UK relied on W.H.O. so shut tfu

That will only be the tip of the iceberg

Yep, that's what should be receiving our undivided attention right now.

You’re done BorisJohnson

mail and times have published this - not like them to be critical

Of course Boris did not have to attend. Boris was born already knowing everything 😃

Are we getting close to a Norway/Narvik debate here?

Shut up! Dont criticize what you dont know!

Everyone kinda hates an 'I told ya so'...well... BorisJohnsonCoronavirus wheresBoris

What do you expect from a part time PM?

The W.H.O. was in formed by Thailand in Nov 2019 that the virus is airborne but did nothing about it.

Those who do nothing else but scouring the waves of the seven seas to find the poisonous ink which writes the headlines in order to strike and wreck the PM's vessel upon submerged rocks, ought to be treated with reservation!

The man sick can’t breathe poor exercise tolerance almost had no pulse!!!

Why the suprise, during the election he had no idea how to respond to an ill child on a hospital corridor floor, he had no empathy then so you expect different now. I remember the majority of the media supported him yet loathed jeremycorbyn who was NHS afneil piersmorgan

Would attending them have changed anything ?

The art of delegation is key to being a successful Mamager👍

Hey hey hey he just had the virus lay off

His school masters were spot when describing BorisJohnson - 'School reports complained about his idleness, complacency, and lateness' How right they were.

TBH the world has 'been caught with their pants down' , all of our 'leaders' are going on scientific evidence given to them at 'that time & place', I'm not sticking up for them but what do you do? Risk blind panic or try & play cool? They'll not make the same mistake again.....

The world is so unfair! He was out personally delivering ventilators and PPE to NHS staff around the country. He also took time off to cook at various soup kitchens and mow your grandparents' lawn.

A lot of world leaders underestimated this virus.

He could probably take the rest of the year off and the masses would praise him for putting his family first. He’s a plague on society; literally

Prime Minister asleep at the wheel

UN Said Covid_19 pandemic will likely kill at least 300,000 Africans.. COVID .coronaviruskenya

He’s a slob

No you're not allowed to criticise him!!

Editor's letter: Boris Johnson won a landslide on ideas his people no longer wantThis most tax-averse and libertarian of politicians is now being forced into a decade of tax rises to pay for increased state activism, writes Andrew Woodcock 🤣 What Ideas? GET BREXIT DONE? It wasn't an idea but an empty slogan. £350M to the NHS? Where's it? 40 new hospitals that turned out to be 6 reconfigured ones. 50,000 new nurses turned out to be 19,000 only. Any ideas? Hiding in the fridge, ignoring a sick child on the floor? The irony is that Boris will now have to deliver labour manifesto light and invest in public services such as health, social care and education; at same time having to chase tax receipts from those who previously evaded tax to deliver a balanced budget

Africa will see 300,000 coronavirus deaths in ‘best-case scenario’, UN warnsThe World Health Organisation has also warned the continent could become the epicentre of the pandemic. It’s like they’re willing the African continent to be ravaged by Covid 19 but it hasn’t happened just like in India, then when you read on it’s not about Africa but obtaining billions in funding which we know health organisations and everyone else will take. Them dancing pall bearers will be kept busy
