This is what happens when you put a preening, lazy, populist, dilettante in charge of a country.
Johnson was completely out of his depth and more concerned with his pathetic perceived popularity than leading this country through the greatest crisis since 1939.

Eh? How on earth is this your headline, BBC News website, when surely the main finding of the report is that tens of thousands of people died unnecessarily because, on more than one occasion and for all sorts of reasons (complacency, toxic culture etc.), those in charge didn't lockdown early enough?

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage.

Millions of jobs will be lost to AI in a few years. So what will our young people do? Where will their money come from? The idea that they will all work in AI technology is nonsense. AI will look after itself, fix itself and replicate itself. AI is the human race’s ultimate act of self destruction.

Awful ‘special’ episodes of soaps seem to be the flavour of the month. Flashbacks in sepia, alternative realities, first person thought voiceovers. Pretentious nonsense. It’s a soap, not a psychological drama. #CoronationStreet #Emmerdale

Elon Musk is now the highest paid CEO on the planet his $100bn a year for 10 years deal is 2,500,000x the wage of his average employee
In fact it's 20x the entire wage bill for all 125,000 of Tesla's other employees
