The most spineless PM in living memory?

[delmbox]

But you have no idea where Johnson was or what he was doing. There are undoubtedly many more important things he can or should be doing than talking about one of his advisers conduct. Grant Shapps made some quite important announcements about transport policy, which is presumably why he took the briefing but no one was remotely interested in that and what he said was submerged by the political point scoring and oneupmanship feeding frenzy that took place from the media. Come on, surely we have got more important things to worry about than this ?

One of the Government's most senior advisors broke lockdown rules when he HAD Coronavirus, which undoubtedly will mean that more people will flaunt any lockdown rules from now on because if he can go visit his parents when he's actively got symptoms then why the hell should any of the rest of us stay at home when we haven't.

I'd say this is an important issue, and TLG's right, it's utterly spineless to send someone else out to face the music. But Johnson does that every time.
