"Boris Johnson - The Anti-Prime Minister."

[bindeweede]

A recent, higly critical view from Jonathan Lis.

It is here that the strategies behind Johnson’s premiership begin to make sense.

Of course, he would unlawfully prorogue Parliament. Of course, he would rewrite the lockdown rules to exonerate his chief advisor Dominic Cummings. Of course, he would lie to people’s faces about care homes, testing and personal protective equipment.

Everything must be outrageous, shocking and unprecedented. Everything must outdo every predecessor. This is governing as teleology: it is not the premiership that is important, but how he feels at the end of it.
