Boris the PM - a new beginning

One might try but I suspect that some here would struggle to listen without prejudice to such as McCluskey, Sturgeon, Abbott or Corbyn...just saying :)

Maybe there is so little talent in the SNP she has to be the main front man. Although unless the count on her appearances was before the weekend it's wrong as on several occasions I believe the health minister has stepped in on a couple of occasions and I haven't watched every one of scotlands briefs.
 
You were asked why you thought the professor and the minister was second team - something you still have refused to answer.
Quite simply - I prefer Prof Van-Tam; Dame Angela Mclean and Prof Jenny Harries as all three tend to say it more 'as it is' compared with Stephen Powis - and I prefer that - I think they do it better than Powis. And I think I've explained why I suggested that Dowden might not be a member of the Cabinet '1st Team'. Kind of obvious really as I am not aware that he has done very many briefings in seven weeks - then again neither has the PM.

Maybe they keep Johnson away from doing the briefings as much as possible as his advisors don't want him to be held accountable for something he might say (deliberately or by mistake) at a briefing - easy game to play that :)

It's a view held in the US where sensible Republicans were wishing that Trump would just stop leading the briefings - well that rather happened as they basically stopped doing them...

Anyway - good to see Johnson changing his mind under pressure from Starmer and the Daily Mail on the NHS charge immigrants working in the NHS were having to pay.

You reply to a comment about the possibility of lack of talent in the SNP and you go on about the PM, I presume then you have nothing to say about the SNPs lack of talent.

Tell me what qualifications you have to question the good professor and his qualifications and gives you the knowledge to put him in the second team. Your preferences shouldn't come into it when it comes to ability.

you might be right about the lack of talent in the SNP, but to give Nicola her due she speaks well and the big advantage she has over Boris is she appears to be able to read a pre prep speech or auto que and as yet not prom things she can't deliver or don't even exist;)

This is a thread about Johnson. And of course I am not assessing the qualifications of anyone. Just mentioning my favourites (not forgetting - which I did - Prof Whitty). In the same way as I have my idea of the best and my favourite professional golfers though I have absolutely no qualifications for making such assessments.

I have said all along she has conducted herself well in her briefings. Not sure she has promised anything yet. Shes outlined a plan with no specific detail (just like PM did), the difference being , the PM was jumped all over.

Your remark suggested he had a lack of ability.

So your defence of the SNPs lack of ability is that this is a Johnson thread. One to remember.

i supect she's not been jumped over because nothing to be anounced till next thursday so no one can accuse her of jumping the gun.

no one is any the wiser other than there might be some easing

I have no idea of the capability of the SNP government much wider than the First Minister's Briefings as I do not live in Scotland under an SNP government, and so cannot comment on whether they are pretty good or quite rubbish.

Truly you have surpassed yourself!

You cannot comment on Ms Sturgeon and her party's performance as you do not live in Scotland.

Yet you seem quite content to regularly attack and denounce the President of the United States.

Did I miss something, have you moved from Surrey to St Louis?

As I can watch and listen to the First Minister lead Scottish Coronavirus briefings - I can watch and listen to Trump as he leads briefings and cabinet meetings - and simply on the basis of these briefings and meetings it is very apparent that he is an vile imbecile. I have no idea what his GoP government is like and, as for the SNP, I cannot and do not comment on whether they are competent or not.

No opinion then, you usually have an opinion on many things but the SNP is off limits, I wonder why.

So you can see Trump is vile from his briefings on tv, but cannot possibly comment on Sturgeon and SNP through the same media because you don't live there..

You literally are a walking contradiction, it seems more apparent if you dislike someone or don't have the same political leanings you will pass negative opinion regardless before anything has been said.

I despair of Trump as much as anyone on here.

However, your explanation does nothing more than confirm your double standards.

You are no more qualified to comment on Trump's deficiencies than you are on Sturgeon but what is good for the goose is equally good for the gender.

Or are you simply afraid of upsetting DfT.

TBF though thats no different to plenty of others on here, so cut the guys some slack;)

True but it really was the most amazing display of double standards.

But I don't want to labour the point so I agree, let's move on. ?

Freudian slip? :D

Btw, while I agree with your 'no more qualified' comment, I'd suggest 'no less qualified' is also appropriate also!
