Boris Johnson is seeing a boost in his approval ratings. That may have little to do with how his government is performing

In the early stages of the crisis, one of those at the heart of government decision-making told me: “We are all going to get it.” You wouldn’t wish a positive test for the coronavirus on anyone, but there is this to be said for the news that the prime minister, the Prince of Wales, and the health secretary now number among the infected, while the chief medical officer is self-isolating.

Pfft.

Only the dim will believe in this liar

In a national crisis everyone has to pull together, no sense in pulling apart, this is trash journalism .

But not BJ Cock

Yes, they are! Unfortunately, we have de Pfeffel.

Lets 'Follow the leader leader leader'

I don't.

Is there any update as to how he's doing?

I'm not that desperate or stupid enough to believe Johnson

It's unbelievable that bungling, dithering, complacent Johnson is getting good ratings. He's made this crisis worse by not acting quickly and appropriately. Who will ever forget his willingness to sacrifice lives for herd immunity? And the NHS? Badly let down. Hopeless.

Even if they are stupid plonkers!

And they only tell the public what THEY want them to hear!

BalochSami False leaders robbed us from money,&bring us to cliff'fly yourself' say Trudeau'I don't have wings I afraid to die'.Where are our money from tax to protect us in the emergency time?Wast & gone not for us .The money went from our bleeding hard work.We have to pay for the Marxism.

Let's get this straight from the beginning, he is not Churchill. There are few politicians the divided country can believe in, unfortunately for us. The divide is to great after the Brexit fiasco.Covid_19 BorisJohnsonCoronavirus

Typical heard psychology. However inept a leader is, in times of a crisis the sheep will follow him without much thinking :)

He's hiding from the truth

This is an interesting and generally well argued and balanced article, for The Observer, but the final two paragraphs reveal the true Observer leanings. However, the majority of the vitriolic and vile tweets which follow show how low the Observer readers sink.

not that bastard

Only if they are believable!

Yes, you MUST be desperate to believe in Boris.

You would have to be desperate to believe anything Boris or his ministers say !

So they'll believe any c**p spaffing from Tawdries.

not to leaders like this one or the orange lard arse

Bizarrely opinion polls show the people do believe in this cabal of incompetents and ideologues. It's truly frightening. It would appear that even thousands of avoidable deaths cant wake up the nation.

It's The Power of Nightmares, the politics of fear

In a national crisis, papers are desperate to believe that click bait is effective journalism

leadership and leaders are born leaders and naturally lead

Which is understandable given they should be better informed than the general public, but becomes problematic when they clearly lack the ability to make good decisions based on public interest.

The socialists who aren't fit to even make comment, trying to play politics over a virus.

TheStephenRalph 25% like him because he knocked up another young bit of stuff at 55...

😂🤣😂🤣

Fools.

Any leader do ? Seems to

But trust them more than the media.

The majority of Britain supports and believes in Boris

I think certain voters are predisposed to believing anything a Tory government says regardless or crisis or reality.

Ben vous êtes encore plus dans la merde que les autres, alors...

This is Chinese virous problem buycot chinna

Fat Chance...

Herd Stupidity... We have it here in the US too 😈

Yes so it is and specially this time as noone is safe and can avoid covid19.We hope for the best,even for Boris.
