Johnson has been notible (once again) but his absence.
Whilst we appreciate he has been ill and has a new baby, we are in the midst of a national crisis and a sense of leadership and guidance from our prime minister has been lacking.
And its not gone unnoticed.
Not just by the press. And not just by opposition. Nor NHS and care managers. But on the ground where it matters.
The lack of the sense of seriousness has dissipated. The sense of duty to country to behave. The idea that it will some how be all over this week when it doesn't appear to be the government strategy. The total lack of policy for a week whilst it's become clear bit by bit that these things have been under discussion and decided upon prior to the supposed key meeting on Thursday from the announcements from the regional assemblies. All in favour of a TV stunt tomorrow night.
Let's see how that goes.
The grandstanding isn't a substitute for detail and substance in a crisis. And we still have the looming show down at the end of June over extension of transition. More optics. More lack of practicality at a time when things will really be on the brink.
The next month will be telling and we hit the wall of economic reality which will bring the whole world crashing in on the lives of so many people.
This is the calm before the storm. Enough the sunshine. Enjoy the time with families. Before this is over everything will have changed for so many.
This is just the start of things unravelling and it needs someone to take control and draw up solid blueprints for all our futures. Is a man who is so frequently awol from where he is supposed to be and doesn't take commitments and responsibilities seriously, really the man for that?
Churchill had a vision for the country that cited housing as our second social service, the NHS being our first.
Will Johnson manage to some how forge out so grand new venture which gives the resource and rewards it deserves to the NHS (beyond lipservice and empty platitudes and clapping, that recognises the importance of social care and can stop the almost inevitable coming wave of homelessness and unemployment
And can he do it without selling us off as a basement bargain to the us?
