Report Critiques Johnson's Leadership During the Pandemic
-
Johnson lacks political principles and beliefs beyond self-interest and self-glorification. He fails to match previous PMs like Thatcher and Attlee in decisiveness and commitment.
-
His "gladiatorial" approach to policymaking, soliciting many views before deciding, is ineffective in crises requiring swift decisions like the pandemic.
-
His failure to impose lockdown earlier likely cost 30,000 lives. He failed to "absorb" the gravity of the situation and oscillated in his own mind.
-
He combines indifference, laziness, disorganization and indecision - a disastrous combination for leadership. This was clear in his Covid response.
-
His unsuitability for office should shame the Tory members who selected him and public who voted for him. His Covid failures have harmed the nation.
