Did anyone stand up and say 'Well Done', no; of course not, they were too busy covering their own backsides. He was his own person who said what he thought.
He made mistakes, but show me any politician who has not made a mistake and covered it up
He was the right person in the right job at the right time.

Going to Eton by definition makes you one of the old boy network. He's very much of the establishment.
His advisers told him that he could not advise Parliament he had followed all the lockdown rules but he ignored them and lied to Parliament. He even ‘sought to rewrite’ Covid rules to fit his own evidence.
As for Brexit, we got a terrible and incomplete deal that puts the UK in a far weaker position than it needed to be.
Johnson is a good ribbon-cutter and he's done a great job on rallying support for Ukraine.
However, there's never a right time for a clown to be PM.
