Beside Sunak he looks like a 5 year old playing at being a statesman. Would it be disingenuous of me to point out 'King Boris is breeding a few of those sorts to surround himself with! Having said that - there are plenty of proto-PMs positioning themselves who we should be alarmed about. Boris is a bit of a maverick (aka turncoat) so conventional tactics tend to run off him. Frankly he is out of his depth with COVID-19 but he has experts and his current persona gives hope that he is listening to wise counsel, for once. Sunak looks more like a steady hand, and boy do we need it right now. Boris has struck lucky yet again.
