BORIS Johnson was described as a “weak and indecisive” prime minister by furious aides during the pandemic, explosive WhatsApp messages have revealed.
In the message, read by counsel to the inquiry Hugo Keith KC, the head of the UK Civil Service Case said: “I am at the end of my tether., March etc – today we’re in ‘let it rip’ mode cos the UK is pathetic, needs a cold shower etc.)“The team captain cannot change the call on the big plays every day. The team can’t deliver anything under these circumstances.“Decide and set direction – deliver – explain. Gov’t isn’t actually that hard but this guy is really making it impossible.
Keith KC also referred to comments previously heard by the inquiry describing Johnson’s “ridiculous flip-flopping” – a note from former chief scientific adviser Sir Patrick Vallance – and the Government looking like a “terrible, tragic joke”, a comment made by the Cabinet Secretary Simon Case.Another read “we have a weak and indecisive prime minister”, although it was not stated who had made that comment.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
