Boris Johnson has contracted Covid-19 at a time when the country needs him most – but the UK has survived with incapacitated leaders before

Cabinet government had for most of this week already been replaced by Zoom government, but the fact that Boris Johnson has contracted coronavirus, and so been forced to self-distance himself from the nation that he rules, raises awkward questions about how the government control room will operate at probably its most testing moment.

You are not serious are you?

Will there be any difference?

We were barely functioning with a healthy one.

Not like he was particularly useful...

It's been the case for a while now...

If u ask me...been sick for a while...in the head...which is why UK took so long to react even with half measures

He is an empty suit, so whats to miss?

Better

The real PM was running like a rat yesterday, probably to a nuclear shelter. Nothing should change for now

Well I could say that he was already pretty sick, but that won't be nice... His advisor really is sick

Just the same

Wasnt he kinda sick in the head before this anyways?

Much better... just gotta get rid of the rest now🤔 now that’s where plan B comes in 😉

same way it did with the healthy one.

Like we’ve always done

Sick country

That headline was just too hard to resist, wasn’t it

Queen , Prince and Prime Minister in isolation... So who is in charge of Great Britain? Finance minister Rishi or Home minister Priti Quite a comeback after 200 years! Indian ruling Britain!! 👍👍🇮🇳

Better?

Initially I thought we would fare better then I looked at who the stand in would be.

The proverbial Sir Humphrey Appleby was in charge anyway. AKA Dominic Cummings.

Better.

He should probably rest in bed. The last week has shown most of his cabinet are clearly more able than him and quite comment to carry on for a week. By continuing his is making the illness look like nothing much.

Bearing in mind Johnson's level of performance since he became PM, not much will change if he is sidelined by COVID-19

What’s changed?

Its been the case for months already

It's not like Boris is hard to replace, like the Queen he is just a mouthpiece and figurehead. We are unfortunately living in a distopian novel where our supposed leaders are little more than baubles and clowns to distract the plebs.

Will he receive stat sick pay? Just curious.

We've done pretty well so far 😉

*Utters a number of quick exhalation noises* well I, urr, as it is, I mean we could be,if it was of course. Not that we can't.but I think if we really think about it. It just could be. OK! ........ I think we will be fine 😂

Was this article written before or after the infection with Covid-19?

As it always has with the other sick in the head pschopathic PMs

Is that not why there's a Deputy?

Better

Pretty much the same as the USA has been with it's sick leader!

? Better?

Will we notice the difference?

Same as does whenever the are ill with mild symptoms of anything. Stop your ridiculous scaremongering

Better?

Ahhahaha. That's a joke right ?

Er... properly...!?

Ummmm very good

Tony Bliar was a sick bar steward

Quite well, I’m sure, don’t you think MitchAlan55 ?

Really well? 🤔

Don’t tempt me.

Probably a damn sight better.

With today's technology, easily!

Better?

That's not actually a serious question I hope?

Better probably, except that Gove is no better. Put Rishi in charge.

Is that question reason Bolsonaro, Trump, Trudeau, Merkel reported Negative to Covid 19, while many suspect they had mild infection?

I doubt if there will be a difference given he has a mild version. Maybe Cummings gave it to BorisJohnson and MattHancock to test out his herd immunity theory or to get the pair of them off screen as their lies and evasion are so transparent.

Will we be able to tell the difference?

We'll be fine

Define 'sick'?

Dominic!! it's your time to step out of the shadows...

Couldn’t be any worse

Probably better tbh

In Canada we have a sick pm for the last 4.5 years

Basically no different when parliament in recess or the dips go on vacation.

Will we see any difference?

With the PM in isolation, 10DowningStreet announce Johnson’s replacement. “Let’s face it” said Larry the Cat, “I can’t do any worse. It’s a win-win, innit”. As the UK government’s COVID19 leadership drop like flies, he add “at least I can’t get the damn thing”.

Surprisingly well?

I genuinely thought this was a thedailymash article at first

Trudeau has been in hiding, saying he’s on isolation for a month now. Canada 🇨🇦 is still here!

Exactly the same way as it did since he took over

Better!

How did the UK function with the healthy deft prime ministers?

This 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

Boris Johnson must step down and return as PM when he's recovered.

Will anybody miss the puppet. (Dominic is the puppetmaster)

Twats

The country doesn't rely on a PM.

Is that Jurgen Klopp knocking on the door? He would make an excellent PM!

We worked this out before covid19.

He's always been sick 😠

We've had a sick prime minister for ten years now 🤷‍♂️

Are you fucking serious!!!

Been sick since Brexit, no delete that. Prays and good wishes for our PM to get well soon and lead us to the promised land. £350m per hour for the NHS.🙏🇹🇷🙏

I have no idea, but if Dominic Cummings doesn’t make the 100m finals for Team GB at the next Olympics I’ll be pissed off. StayAtHome covidhumour

There’s a queue of equally unqualified people just waiting to step into the breach.

Probably an improvement, although looking at his ministers !

Uh, when's the last time the UK functioned WITHOUT a sick Prime Minister, to be honest?

Better, faster......stronger.

About as well as it did with a stupid one.

Canada's had one for 5 years. And we're not doing well. Serial blackfacePMJT. proAssadConsul appointment judgment. ProstrateForIran. snclavalinscandal interference with courts.

A lot better

We’ve been doing it for ten years.

Probably a lot better

It can't get any worse

Sick in the head for a long time!

Someone please tell that guy in the photo that he's wearing his mask wrong.

The UK will probably function a whole lot better without Boris Johnson than with him!

Much the same as without him I feel. He is so unfit for purpose

He has always been sick. Fired, hired, liared. BorisJohnson A failed pompous Etonian

probably better than before

Hi , I'm a 'stupid Spaniard' who is wondering why Boris Johnson is now infected by coronavirus. Has him drunk a cup of cofee in Madrid? Or celebrated a sunny day of 30 degrees in Spain? (As you said in an article )

same way since he took the office? What do you think it may change anything?

Better?

How will it function? Probably significantly better than if Bozo Bojo was screwing it up

BorisJohnson has always been sick he was born that way

Better?

How will the UK function with a sick PM? I imaging it’ll function much as it has with an incompetent one. COVID19 BorisJohnson

Oh shit, Cummings has it too!?

How do we all get on when we are ill

Narrator: Better

he has been sick for over a year. just fine.

Easily. Number10cat can take over and do a much better job!

Absolutely fine. Next question.

Given his actions so far the less he gets involved, the better.

Better!
