Some parts:
The article frequently states that Johnson was not around for Cobra meetings, SAGE meetings and Cabinet meetings. |
Very damning, more so from a pro-Conservative paper.
Would be interesting to understand the reasons for this. Is it because Johnson is not into detail and meetings? Was it because the Government had little bandwidth as it was focused on Brexit?
