Does Boris look bothered? Seems not.
Boris Johnson's tenure as PM was defined by a disinterest in detail, inertia in activity and laziness. These personal traits may be inconvenient for his constituents but they are a disaster for this country.
Disinterest in scientific warnings led to delayed preparations for the pandemic, and going AWOL from vital COBRA meetings compounded it. Inertia delayed further timely lockdowns with lives lost as a consequence.
But laziness is his abiding trait. Holidays are his frequent and favourite activity. In the 108 days since his resignation he has voted in parliament ONCE and that was a confidence vote on July 18th for his own government. Since his final PMQs at the dispatch box on 20th July, he has disappeared for three holidays: a week in Slovenia, a week in Greece and now two weeks in a luxury resort in the Dominican Republic - see this Observer article for details. These last two weeks, from which he rushed back to be the 'Pretender' to the Prime Ministerial throne, were taken during parliamentary time not recess. Perhaps his Uxbridge constituents must lay such heavy burdens on him that he exhausts himself on their behalf and needs a lie down somewhere sunny. I wonder if they appreciate this need?
It seems the demands of Parliament are so beneath him that he didn't even bother to high-tail it back to Britain when his own government demanded his vote in a Three Line Whip. Missing these normally results in losing the Party vote! But Johnson is above the petty machinations of government, he floats on his cloud of indifference, as only a narcissist can.
Self interest is his enduring trait. The rest of us can go hang.
Meantime they expect us to sit passively by and accept the candidature of a failed Prime Minister to return and 'lead' the country once again down a rabbit hole of ineptitude.
