Editorial: Dithering and delay have cost the country dearly during this pandemic. Now the PM is back on his feet, he must act swiftly

down – “flattening the curve”. Even so, ministers seemed remarkably reluctant to confirm what was obvious to all concerned, leaving it to the devolved administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to make the running. Although Dominic Raab and the cabinet were supposed to be in charge “where necessary”, their authority was unclear. There was, as Tony Blair observed, a “void” in decision-making in this highly centralised administration.

Relying on Boris Johnson to sort this problem out it’s just worrying

Not sure he will he’s never been much good as a politician and even less as the leader of the UK... get Brexit done 🙄 or go bust.. hang on 🙈

Dream on!

BorisJohnson is lethargic...Ken Livingstone was right in 2014 when he said Johnson is a 'lazy tosser who just wants to be there' He has no intention of working or doing his job.

Glad he’s not dead!!

The government responded correctly all the way along it’s the media that have actually behaved appalling and told lies and embellished the truth the people if this country now the facts and willtake the media to task when this is all over shameful

Lethargic isn’t a word that is appropriate

There’ll literally be no difference

Well he was the arcitect of the original lethargic response So I'm not expecting a dramatic change to that

It’s just like when MJ came back... we love you Boris!
