     @mike @vnvobit Johnson was only ever a second-rate circus Churchill impersonator. Given easy political sailing he'd have been a dull sub-average PM, but instead he came to office as a result of/during the polycrisis. Should have stuck to being a journalist/TV personality.

     @cstross @vnvobit I agree on the "clownshows" part.
