To think that it is absolutely unforgivable for the Prime Minister to have a Health Secretary in place during a deadly pandemic whom he thinks is 'totally f---ing hopeless'?

Just that really.

The worst is that I am almost beyond being shocked.

I don't compare this government with the opposition. I compare it with alternative Tory MPs in a government. I am confident there are at least 100 if not more Tory MPs who would be better at a ministerial role than the current cabinet.

They are all fucking hopeless so he fits in well. Who believes anything any PM says? Or any political party come to that?

If you had met my Tory MP you would be less confident in your assertion, he even makes hopeless Hancock look like he has an idea of what is going on.

If anyone genuinely thinks DC has even a micron of integrity needs to revisit the infamous Rose Garden interview.

The one where he repeatedly throws his wife under the bus. Barnard Castle was her idea etc. Looks like he will blame anyone except himself.

What I find more alarming now have read Cummings blog is not so much that the PM has kept a Health Secretary that everyone knows is hopeless for more than a year, but that they were spending time worrying about what focus groups and polls said rather than getting on with dealing with the pandemic.
