I must say I am very impressed with Rishi Sunak. Confident, bold, eloquent and decisive. Very good.
I think he is basically A-political, which helps. I also hear that he worked with Gordon Brown in a Labour government, which is most reassuring.
This crisis transcends politics.
It should do .... someone should tell Jezza ! XXXX
ReplyDeleteThey are still point-scoring, but we have to ignore that. Jezza is ignored in any case.
DeleteYes, he is good. You may have just read that I thought Jennie Harries handled the press well tonight too. I have already written a post about Sunak so I didn't mention him again tonight.
ReplyDeleteNo, I hadn't read your post. Praise is due to Boris for surrounding himself with competent advisors for a change.
DeleteFriday 20 March, The Press Conference. You were absent at the time. And yes. I also rate Vallance and Whitty highly too.
DeleteI know you do but I don't just acquire my opinions from your posts. I have the BBC as well, remember?
DeleteAnd I wasn't absent. I was just pretending to be.
DeleteOf course not, and I wasn't implying that you do.
DeleteOh alright. I was pretending too.
DeleteI can vouch for him being a good MP Tom - he is my Constituency MP - took over from Wlliam Hague the previous one. Both of them have been good onlocal issues as well as National ones.
ReplyDeleteI knew Chris Patten when he was MP for Bath. He was very good on many levels. He would have been a Lib Dem if they weren't so powerless.
DeleteSame here Tom. A life long Socialist me, but this guy has leadership qualities and is a "proper" politician
ReplyDeleteI admit that I had never heard of him before this, but my prejudices against the undignified power struggle preceding him have been almost forgotten. Almost.
DeleteI can't believe people are screaming that the government should sort EVERYTHING out now rather than June
ReplyDeleteI can't believe the govt has done so well given the circumstances
Let's get real
Totally agree John .... this is unprecedented so nobody knows the answer .... they are all doing their best for Gods sake ..... everyone is an expert it seems ! XXXX
DeleteI'm not sure that anyone other than Trump does believe that governments can get this under control in three weeks, do they?
DeleteThe press and media give the impression that they expect magic, not necessarily in finishing it in three weeks but in solving everything.
DeleteI too am impressed by Rishi Sunak, he extremely confident and assured.
