I know we’ve been joking about it.....but seriously, where is he?

I can’t remember the last time I saw Boris on the daily briefing.

Surely, as the Prime Minister he has a duty to show his face and demonstrate his presence in this crisis?

He was out clapping last night for carers.

Fallsballs · 22/05/2020 17:53

Dominic doesn’t allow him to talk in public but he can clap.

PowerslidePanda · 22/05/2020 17:55

I reckon he actually has taken paternity leave, even though he said he wasn't going to. Let's face it, he's not known for his honesty!

That’s alright then..... Hmm

Dominic doesn’t allow him to talk in public but he can clap.

I genuinely don’t understand how Boris thinks it’s ok to near enough disappear from public eye during all of this?!

He'll take his paternity leave later in the year as well.

It would be OK if he had a decent properly named deputy, not a series of idiot fallguys he wheels out to sweat or smirk in front of the press.

Check your fridges

MorrisZapp · 22/05/2020 17:57

He did PMQs the other day.

LilacTree1 · 22/05/2020 17:57

I honestly don’t think Boris has the foggiest what’s going on.

Someone will literally need to remind him of the next review date.

It’s appalling but I can’t call for his resignation in case we get Matt Hancock.

Delatron · 22/05/2020 17:59

Maybe he’s still struggling with post viral fatigue plus newborn baby.

I do agree we haven’t had good leadership in any way through this though!

Toilenstripes · 22/05/2020 17:59

I think he’s hard at work. He’s got a pandemic and Brexit to going on. And who knows how Home life is with a newborn I suspect when he has something to say to us he will hold a press conference and say it. He’s right to be delegating and letting his Cabinet do their jobs.

ParkheadParadise · 22/05/2020 18:01

After watching PMQ on Wednesday I hope to god he's in front of a mirror cutting his hair🤣🤣.
Bawbag Boris is a Lazy Arse.

RuffleCrow · 22/05/2020 18:03

I wouldn't mind if Boris was simply incompetent. The problem is, as with Trump, I always feel the incompetence is misdirection to distract us from whoever''s really running the show.

EllieFredrickson · 22/05/2020 18:04

I'm sorry I can't get over, "Hatt Mancock" - my new favourite nickname! Useless - all of them. Corona virus came and pissed all over Boris's dreams and he's running scared. That's what leadership is mate - bloody hard work.

campion · 22/05/2020 18:13

Struggling with a newborn? I doubt he knows one end from the other and is even less willing to learn.
He's lazy and incompetent.He likes the title rather than the job.

Barbie222 · 22/05/2020 18:13

He's in over his head?

Fallsballs · 22/05/2020 18:14

Struggling with a newborn 😂🤣

slipperywhensparticus · 22/05/2020 18:14

I shouldn't imagine HE is struggling with a newborn

Lostvoiced · 22/05/2020 18:16

Hiding, hoping people dont remember all the bad decisions he made when he pops back up.

missyB1 · 22/05/2020 18:17

sorry I can’t get over Hatt Mancock

He’s Matt Handjob in our house Grin

twilightermummy · 22/05/2020 18:19

This is the second thread where some people seem to genuinely believe that Boris is looking after a newborn and managing the country. Wake up! There is clearly a 24 hour nanny/wet nurse on call. Or, at the very least, a second room miles away from said baby for him to slope into. We can't have him missing out on his beauty sleep for a newborn.

DippyAvocado · 22/05/2020 18:20

Maybe he’s still struggling with post viral fatigue plus newborn baby.

Post-viral fatigue I'll accept. Newborn baby fatigue? Not a chance he'll have had to do the night shift. Pandemic or no pandemic I bet they've got at least two nannies.

Nonononon · 22/05/2020 18:20

Priti patel ate him.

I feel more scared of her than coronavirus now..

cantdothisnow1 · 22/05/2020 18:22

Prilli Patel ate him

Genius! Grin

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 22/05/2020 18:23

If he takes all the paternity leave he's accumulated, we won't see him till 2030 Grin

Delatron · 22/05/2020 18:25

Yeah that’s true about the two nannies.

I think he should at least show his face and give a rousing speech or something.
