Boris Johnson in Intensive Care

His symptoms have worsened and he has been moved to ICU in case he needs a ventilator. I would not wish this on my worst enemy and I have real concerns that Raab who will be his de facto stand in will be right wing authoritarian on steroids if he has to take control. That is who he is. This is serious chaps. I think the mortality rate is about 40% from ICU in Italy...

He loves the idea of a no deal Brexit and he thinks that his way (very right wing) way is the only way. He is the Foreign Secretary, the first secretary of state and a complete tool.

Hard right ultra-Brexiteer, and doesn't seem to know the first thing about basic geography, which is a bit unfortunate in the Foreign Secretary. Didn't seem to know about the connection between Dover and Calais and its importance to trade. Got Peru and the Philippines mixed up in a recent speech.

It's a bit as it would have been in America in the early 90s, if GHWB had been seriously ill and there was a possibility of Dan Quayle taking over.

Not just very right wing, but extremely blinkered and comes across as incredibly arrogant.

They do not have the resources to bring you in unless you really need support.
