but that might not be the case for boris johnson. he's on holiday in scotland and he has an 80 seat majority. i think he feels pretty secure, honestly. his ratings are dropping, but in the long haul, i don't see gavin williamson going anytime soon, i don't think there'll bea anytime soon, i don't think there'll be a big reshuffle, as the papers say, the reshuffle will be in the new year according to the story, maybe i— does make people being shifted around. let's go to the guardian. i don't know if you stayed up guardian. i don't know if you stayed upfor guardian. i don't know if you stayed up for michelle 0bama upon zach speech last night. it was carried on networks, and it was really a full frontal attack on donald trump. 0ne got the perception this is what she's wanted to say for a long, long time. it seems to have drawn blood from mrtrump, who time. it seems to have drawn blood from mr trump, who was pretty peeved by some of these comments. absolutely, she repeated the refrain in 2016, "when they go low, we go high." and in 201

quite a lot of the connection between boris johnson and donald trump at a personal level. you may remember, and it was some months ago, that borisjohnson said donald trump has many, many good qualities. but when it comes to the dealings between the two countries, look, the uk—us trade deal has gone completely quiet. the british government and establishment will be thinking of foreign policy going forward, maybe a return to some multilateral institutions, the disengagement that they have seen from the donald trump administration, they hope would return underjoe biden. i think there is a cautionary note because we don't know what would happen ifjoe biden is successful. and it may be he is a little bit more like his predecessor, obama. and in that sense, when it comes to dealing with europe, where would the uk sit, would there still be a bridge between the two? the henry kissinger phrase, "who do i call if i want to speak to europe?" well, angela merkel, it certainly has been. would it necessarily be the uk? even with a joe biden administration, there is no certainty that t

boris johnson does not sunak. precisely for that reason. borisjohnson does not want to push away or disappoint his older voters, the optics of this would be terrible for him. tell us a bit about what this split is over. the tory vote, traditionally relies on older voters. and part of the commitment to reinforce that relationship during the conservative party old is a pensions guarantee called a triple lock which means that the pension arises by average earnings or at 2.596 arises by average earnings or at 2.5% for inflation, whichever is the greatest. and this is meant that the average pensioner has got better and better off each year compared to the average working age voter. and given the potential rise in unemployment, we will see over coming months because of the virus follow and the deterioration in the public finances, i think the chancellor wants to create more fairness across the generations, reduce that sort of benefit to pensioners, so that potentially there is more money available for the rest of the population. but for boris, th

interestingly, it has not prevented boris johnson performing plus. interestingly, it has not prevented borisjohnson performing a list of u—turns on some quite policies. during the coronavirus pandemic, which is going, and also on key domestic issues like the one that we saw over the exams, over gcse and a—level results. so despite this, interestingly, much of the opposition has come from within his own party and many of them, from what they call the rental seats, the former labour seats, had persuaded borisjohnson to do former labour seats, had persuaded boris johnson to do a u—turn which over time has accumulative effect of looking like a government that is not as strong as it should be with a majority like that or arguably, that is the flexibility, the opposite of what tennis was calling it, when they realise the mistake has been made, they turn it round. jeffrey, might this be a case where an administration comes in in the us system and it appoints the senior officials who will deliver the policy and therefore it gets quite a lot of things d

however, i think it‘s absolutely time that boris johnson moves absolutely time that boris johnson m oves fro nt absolutely time that boris johnson moves front and center. i thought it was outrageous that he disappeared from view. i know everyone it‘s a holiday but different rules apply when you choose to be prime minister. nobody forced him to do thatjob. and to make no comment at all about a fiasco that is jeopardising potentially the future of millions of children is a total disgrace will stop he has to say forward , disgrace will stop he has to say forward, he has to be seen to get a grip. if he doesn‘t, his reputation will take even more of a hammering. joe, let‘s turn back to the front page of the observer. thousands of life—saving drug trials halted whilst we start trials for covid—19 we‘ve lost a lot of others that were taken place. he the education stories and the debacle around the exams illustrate the eight impact that covid—19 and the pandemic is having on the education system. the problem that the government has is that that impact is mirrored across so that tha

boris johnson was later to qualify that defence of his record. the health crisis swiftly became an economic one, with the bank of england predicting the deepest recession for 300 years. sunak had been chancellor for barely a month before he delivered his first budget in march, one dominated by the pandemic. at the time, jeremy corbyn was still the opposition leader. whatever extra resources our nhs needs to cope with coronavirus it will get. so, whether it's coronavirus it will get. so, whether its research for a vaccine, recruiting thousands of returning staff, or supporting our brilliant doctors and nurses, whether it's millions of pounds or billions of pounds, whatever it needs, whatever it costs, we stand behind our nhs. but opposition leaders wanted more. we are going into this crisis with our public services on their knees. and, as today's figures confirm, with a fundamentally weak economy, which is now flatlining, with zero growth, even before the impact of coronavirus. many of the businesses on my part of the businesses on my part of the
