voters who gave him their allegiance. Yet with the coronavirus outbreak, these are dangerous times and for a kamikaze government to be tearing up the rule book. Johnson and his new chancellor will find that being popular and prudent is a difficult balancing act.

BiancaJagger China bought us time we squandered it. Tuesday of last week UK two weeks behind Italy. Failure to ban public gatherings and sporting events, close pubs bars clubs, lockdown London, large scale testing. Many will die as a result. coronavirus covid19 PepsiTrump

Newsflash: People don't want to hear the same thing over and over again. When the PM has something new to say on the subject we're all ears. Now back in the gutter with you!

He won the election ,he has a huge majirity and he doesnt give a f***

You really need to employ proper journalists. He has a minister to deal with that.

What would the Toilet Roll like him to say, 'WASH YOUR HANDS', well he's already said it dozens of time on camera, do the lazy S*DS at the TR want him to go round and do it for them, GET REAL

Where's the russianreport

No leadership on anything at all...

Boris is not a leader. Takes his lead from DC after all. Boris' only interest is self-interest, a la Trump.

You have failed as a newspaper, long ago.

England's chief medical officer warned mass gatherings - It is important to Self Isolate & not gather in large numbers. You wont stop the spread of this virus, but you can slow it down so our Health Services can cope. - YOU - can have an impact! Wash hands, Isolate, follow advice

What is he supposed to say. ‘Media hysteria ‘. ‘Millennials hysteria ‘. Or keep calm and carry on. He is not responsible for Coronavirus or the weather. Has Britain been so destroyed by EU that people can no longer think or act for themselves

England's chief medical officer warned mass gatherings Self Isolate & not gather in large numbers. You wont stop this virus, but you can slow it down so our Health Services can cope. YOU - can have an impact! Wash hands,tissues,Isolate, follow advice

😱😱😱😱😱

And rest of the MSM remain silent and not exposing the lying shyster

Lack of leadership? Yes. Shocking? It really couldn't be less shocking.

that’s simply stupid. There’s nothing ‘shocking’ about it at all.

Yes he has shown poor leadership. I wanted him to succeed as he too has Turkish roots but he had to be like Trump a big disappointment.

Hopefully most of the public will soon see through the bombastic Bozollini and his false promises.

In a perfect world borders would be impermeable & all new arrivals would receive a full medical to address any problems they may have before they continue on in to the general public.I mean,we could totally skip to the end on this if we charged airlines costs for each new arrival

PM Cummings won’t let him speak yet🤐

He is doing it for himself! When will you get that?

Wanting to be called leader and wanting to lead are very different things.

Is anyone shocked?

I heard him Radio 5 live to be fair. It wasn't very inspiring, so may be best to put him away at Chequers

He's rubbish.

readership dim today ol' boy
