Boris Johnson isn't a statesman but he managed to impersonate one long
enough to get us through the COVID pandemic relatively lightly.  He
could have done a lot better - but most of the other 'leaders' around at
the time would certainly have done a lot worse.

Any party that could tolerate someone as ignorant and bigoted as Liz
Truss, let alone put her in any position of responsibility, needs to
look seriously at the clique that is running it and ask if they really
represent more than a tiny fraction of its graaa-roots members.
