TV is powerful propaganda.
I think propaganda could reasonably describe the notion he got these big decisions right. Brexit achieved with little consideration to solving the details, higher Covid deaths per capita than some countries, weaker economic recovery. Ukraine? I’m not sure he’s done anything that couldn’t reasonably be achieved by an average politician desperately seeking a good news story to deflect from domestic problems.
