Yep, 12 years of Tory government, 3 years of Johnson’s premiership, a successful brexit campaign, and yet that is the best they can come up with.Hmm.
He got Brexit done. Even you admit 'sort of'. He agreed to a deal that the EU had themselves proposed two years earler. As Foreign Secretary he had said such a deal was unthinkable as it threatened the sovereignty of the UK and yet he still agreed it. Now we're seeing the consequences and it is perfectly possible the whole deal could unravel back to a no deal Brexit. If you claim that as a success 'sort of' then fair enough.
On the vaccine rollout we were quick off the mark and yet our death rate per capita is in the worst fifth of 155 countries (statista website) and of course there is the care home issue. All of which suggests he got a hell of a lot more wrong than right.
As for the Ukraine, supplying a lot of weapons yes, refugees no. Plus remember we're not being invaded and it's easy to showboat on a bit of reflected glory.
What did you think of the Owen Paterson affair?
Pretty thin stuff.
