    As you all know. I hold no political alliance.

    So now the situation is. Mr Boris Johnson crave for some time to be Britains PM. From his general stance. He held Winston Curchill to be he idol. Many of his mannerisms echo Winnie. Now at last in Number ten.

    I have to say. Poor Boris. The world around you has caved in, and this damned pandemic. What a task for anyone. So let's skip the borrowing and all that. How do the public feel about recent, behind closed doors. Cummings. Flouting the Rules. Now the Home Sec. Miss Iron Knickers. What is it with the PM? Why is he showing favouritism. OK he and his cohorts are underfire for mistakes, blunders etc with covid. Covid is new and has take the wotld by surprise so perhaps some leeway. Internal problems. OUCH. If it was, that the tea boy had fogot the sugar. You imbercile. OUT youre fired. But the two, or three. Why the hesitation. I fear there will be more. Boris. It's matters like this that will lose you the next election. Interesting but, i'm getting off at the next stop, ding ding.

      Priti is doing a pretty good job i guess.
      If she wasn't this would have been the perfect opportunity to ditch her..
      I had a female boss a few years back. There were a few blokes that tried to belittle her and undermine her position, just because she was female.
      She had to assert her authority to maintain her position and at times that made her appear bossy.
      As the home secretary her underlings need to know who is in charge and if that means they get a good rollocking occasionally.. Tough.
      If it's too hot in the kitchen they can get out, and let someone with more backbone work for her.
      This opinion does not favour any political party. I'd have the same view in any work place.
      If she really is that bad time will tell because she'll end up with no support staff.

        I don't think Boris would have ever dreamed when he took office of the situation the world is in now.
        I doubt very much that Corbin would have done any better.

        The affects of Covid is a constant learning curve and as Boris and others don't have a crystal ball they do their best.

        Looking at my crystal ball the first lockdown should have longer.

          I am wondering if Boris going to make it to the next election, I'm getting the impression he's had enough.
          Never did rate him as a person or leader, he just came up out of the woodpile because of Brexit.

            It's understandable to an extent for a woman boss to perhaps be viewed as over bossy. Hate to imagine the Shadow Home Sec being in office.
