More Trumpisms

The Cabinet Office or Number 10, don't matter which, is advertising for a person to front the Government's new daily press conferences. Paying £100,000 a year.

This is because Johnson is shit at being held under scrutiny.

A daily new conference where the Government will push it's policies, or grand impossible plans, will be broadcast to the nation. The Speaker of the House of Commons has expressed unease, stating he hopes that policy decisions will be announced in the House first, then repeated in the news conferences.

You know this isn't going to happen, Parliament is being further sidelined, with and increasing "presidential" look for UK Government. Trump's "news" coferences are a platform him to ramble and make accusations or come up with ever more bizarre statements on the virus or opponents of BLM protesters. NO actual news at all. Someone added a laughter track to on of Trump's conferences, made it better, but some news channels broadcast it live, like it is actual news.

It will happen here, maybe not so mad, but another wound to democracy where Government wants to rule, not actual govern.

Its odd though, because Johnson was elected because the Conservative Party thought him a great communicator. Turns out he's an OK panel show host, and chat show guest, but can't get on top of any brief, has dreadful reactions to scrutiny, either by media or the public, let alone the leader of the opposition. Coupled with the fact he's a poor Prime MInister too, who relies totally on his political advisor to do all the hard work for him.

What can we saw now, Johnson is actually good for, apart from being an ex-Prime Minister.

Matt Hancock this morning, continuing the line that there is a second wave sweeping across Europe, and we must protect the UK. When asked that the South West and South East have an R rate over 1, he refuses to answer.

Its all that horrible Europe's fault. He wants to protect the UK, like he did care homes in March, and look how well that went......
