He's not going to be voted out before December...there's not going to be an election before then.
And typically Republican presidents get a second term. Which will be a shame, as I think Biden has the chops to do the job, and do it well.

Sorry. I thought you were implying that he would actually be out of The White House by the end of the year......that, and I seem to have my dates mixed up. Again.

There's a "risk" that deaths will be higher than other countries? A RISK?!

Pretty much matching my opinion.. I like him but he should never have been PM.

You only find out who can really lead in a crisis...and Johnson has been inept in the extreme.
He is rarely seen now unless he really has to and there is a good reason for that.
Piers Morgan was absolutely laying into him this morning, saying he is just not capable of doing the job required.

I would rather have Piers Morgan in the role.. his knobishness is an act that would quickly drop when presented with a real problem.

Don't forget that everyone thought that Boris's inept bumbling persona was just and act as well....

Yes and no.. it is him but he puts it on strong for the cameras. I had hoped he would prove me wrong but he's actually been worse than I expected.

In March student nurses near the end of their training were asked to give up their final exams and work on the covid wards, which they did.
Their contacts have just been cancelled.
They've been left with no qualifications, no work and no pay for July.
This is totally fecking heartless and callous.

Yet there is money to pay to have a fecking plane painted at a cost of £900,000 for no good reason.
Hopefully someone will stick a 'twat on board' sticker on the tail.
Never before I have despised an elected leader so much. He is an embarrassment.
