Boris Johnson's presser was a shameful moment in British governance. Under-prepared, insincere, apologetic - he revealed the NHS is about 6 weeks from collapse, thanks to his refusal to lock down in early October 1/
2/ I've seen a prime minister rattled - Brown and Darling during the second RBS bailout in 2008 - but even they were in control of the timetable. Johnson has lost control of this crisis...
3/ With the entire machinery of government of what is still the 5th most powerful country in the world, Johnson could not stage a coherent briefing to the British people, nor even get the Powerpoint to fit on screen...
4/ I have no confidence in Johnson. Yesterday the put his girlfriend up on TV on a dog/pony show. Today my biosecurity, and yours, is in his the hands of a man who can't even stage a press conference.
5/ That said. We all have to obey this lockdown. Doubly so since the authorities enforcing it in England are incompetent. Let's do it from below, for each other. #JohnsonMustGo
