You don't expect anything else from the UK version of Trump!
But, he won't be held to account on either Nazanin, the chaotic Covid response or Brexit (which has cost the country so much in terms of international reputation and GDP)!

Boris Johnson took 4 days off as NHS warned Covid could ‘overwhelm’ system
Thousands died.
Spent time walking his dog, riding motorcycle, hosting lunches/dinners.
He once said Covid was ‘nature’s way of dealing with old people’, ‘we should let the old people get it’.
Will he be held to account,?
