Do you think the government is doing a good job? If so, why?

Was astonished to see an opinion poll this morning that put the government up by six points, with 51% of the share.

As far as I can see, they've mismanaged pretty much every single aspect of this crisis. I won't go into the details as that would derail the purpose of this thread. But given my view of near-total incompetence, I felt I had to be missing something. Some view of what the politicians are doing that's escaped me and my media bubble.

This seemed like a good place to reach outside that bubble and find some that 51% that thinks Johnson is doing a bang-up job. I feel the need to understand why so many people are so positive about his performance.

So: if that's you, and you're happy with what's going on, could you please explain why? I'll try not to be judgemental here, I just want to get to grips with a whole segment of political views that I can't otherwise understand right now.

I think Westminster is doing a good job. There are places it might have done better but you can't get everything right.

Take the farce in Scotland - Sturgeon objects to "stay alert" we have to "keep vigilant".

10 million pieces of PPE stuck at Prestwick Airport while Freeman announces it is okay they aren't needed yet.

Twice the death rate in care homes as England.

Sturgeon knew about the 25 cases at the Nike conference while telling us we only had 23 cases in the whole of Scotland.
