>>I'm seeing more and more conservative comment wondering exactly what they have electedin the UK. They thought they'd got Churchill but I think they may have a muppet.
LOL. A very proper elderly relative used to assert that you have to watch out for men of means who play the ragamuffin.

I wonder how much of his persona is an act, especially considering the quickly hushed-up episode of spousal abuse just prior to election and the flip-flopping over COVID that's easily interpreted as indecision followed by panic.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
