UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson bangs a gong to mark departure from the European Union, January 31, 2020
I spoke with BBC Three Counties’ Roberto Perrone on Friday about UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s latest diversion from criticism of his Government, including its mishandling of the Coronavirus crisis and a failed declaration of a “New Deal” for the British economy.
I summarize Johnson’s proclamation of a regular televised press conference, compare it with the spectacle of the Trump Administration’s briefings, and return to the essential issues of the Government’s competence and accountability.
