Boris’ latest message.

It’s good to see Boris is getting better. He said in his video message that he went through a critical 48 hours and it could have gone either way. Do you think the early intervention and oxygen helped save him? Would he likely have pulled through if he was treated like you or I and had to be turning blue or unable to finish his sentences before receiving hospital intervention?

...it doesn't matter how you voted in the last election.
EVERYONE has the right to question or criticise how our leaders run the country. We have lost an unprecedented amount of freedoms and rights in the fight against this virus but we have not yet lost that right!

Perhaps especially in times of crisis it is important to scrutinize the actions, words, and behaviour of our leaders.

Being less than complimentary about Johnson does not automatically make someone a raving Corbynite. It does not even necessarily make someone a Labour supporter!

As a pp said this is not a football match.i find the whole "nyeh nyeh you lost so shut up" to anyone with a negative comment about Johnson pathetic.

The increasingly prevalent idea that we each pick a team, follow it blindly, and angrily reject all criticism of it is not democracy. Who does it benefit?

There have been a lot of shortcomings in how Johnson and his team handled this crisis. Pointing them out is not "vile" or "mean".

You'd have to be exceptionally thick or poorly informed to imagine the only people critical of Johnson's hypocrisy and irresponsibility are Labour voters.

I'm not a labour support. Personally, given their behaviour today, I find them quite annoying and definitely frustrating.

I'm most definitely not a Johnson fan and dont like this government. Shunak essentially said, everyman for himself today. So yes, I think the ability to hold to account is particularly important.
