Be damned if you do and damned if you don’t. He is pm so he will - as he should - do his job as best as he can until he’s voted out. Visiting and being amidst the people who are playing their part may not be essential but it’s an important part of an elected leader’s job. 👍🏼

He probably got bored with being stuck at home and those endless virus press briefings where he never answers any questions. Now, he can self isolate on return and rest from all the responsibility he’s not taking.

It was essential for the SNP. To boost SNP support.

I was waiting for him but he was well hidden from the public

SteveBakerHW still supporting Boris? whilst England is under house arrest Boris flys to Scotland. Stay home protect the NHS. Or look into their eyes and tell them that you are doing everything. Im sure both Matt Hancock and Boris will be self isolating next week.

He is the prime minister he can go where he wants in the U.K.

Fat Bubbling oaf

Like most politicians, he says one thing to a population, while intending to do the direct opposite, himself. He'll have them independant, in no time.

This is news?

Boris can go wherever he wants. It seems it was essential. It’s Certainly P.d the SNats off

John Grace is not essential to anyone/anything, not even The Guardian. As is Steve Bell.

Bit like the guardian then! Does anyone actually still read the guardian, or do they just come here to see what soy boy Jones is crying about this week?

It is Very essential for the Union

Brutal 😂

All those posters from the Government issued all around the country asking the public to Stay Home, Protect the NHS and Save Lives, then you have Boris travelling with his entourage with an area with a more infectious variant travelling around the UK, it’s a disgrace

In your opinion.

THE WORLD POPULATION IS UNRAVELING THE COVID19 HOAX...

Now I know why I do not read the Guardian

But the economy ?!

Was for me!, and i am important!.

Man in White Coat = Obey Man in White Coat = Credible Man in White Coat can go F a donkey

strap me to a tree & call me Brenda!!!!

Oh, piss off.

What makes this numpty so special? Acting out his dad's book in real life is he? He should be removed from office.
