"He& #39;s not a details, manager type. He& #39;s a leader and picture painter ... A situation for which there is divided opinion scientifically, politically and changing patterns on how to manage the response is difficult for him." says a veteran MP https://edition.cnn.com/2020/10/10/uk/brexit-britain-pandemic-intl-gbr/index.html">https://edition.cnn.com/2020/10/1...
Former cab minister: "Where& #39;s the surprise in that? When Boris was elected to lead this party, we needed someone with a bit of flair who could get Brexit over the line by painting a bigger picture and taking the public with him" https://edition.cnn.com/2020/10/10/uk/brexit-britain-pandemic-intl-gbr/index.html">https://edition.cnn.com/2020/10/1...

Tory grandee: "I think when he appointed his cabinet, he deliberately looked at people with limited experience ... so he and his aides could hold as much power as possible centrally and stamp their authority in all areas of government" https://edition.cnn.com/2020/10/10/uk/brexit-britain-pandemic-intl-gbr/index.html">https://edition.cnn.com/2020/10/1...
"The country needs to be healed after the divisions of Brexit & the pandemic.
