I would.
Boris has some leeway. Folks aren't unhappy with him. He has been competent handling the crisis.
Corona will be impossible to separate from daily life for a while, so I am sure he will use it if he can.

I just wish the Labour and Conseratives parties, burn and somebody piss on the ashes.
Boris has been a shambles with this pandemic
From whose point of view? He has said some stupid things, but he has been competent. Or at least he has appeared to be competent.
His big blindspot will be the ventilators he failed to get. But his response to self employed and furloughed workers shows he is working to make a difference.
Of at least he is appearing to work to make a difference.
Appearances are everything.
The Guardian has an interesting list of questions that will need to be asked when this is all over

His approach from the offset. Herd immunity for starters, its a given you could say it was the chief scientific advisor who put that there as an option for him. On the otherhand, Boris (or Cummings more likely) is putting a bunch of yes men in positions where they can control "advice" - see Sajid Javid's resignation. Secondly, Boris's modus operandi was to do pretty much nothing, see what Nicola Sturgeon was announcing as Scotlands policy, wait 2-3 days, then implement it in England
Don't forget, this idiot was talking about social distancing but still rolling up to hospitals shaking corona patients hands, now has caught it himself (and probably half the cabinet
) Competent wouldve been securing enough testing kits well in advance when the warning signs were there in Feb. Even now health care workers havent been routinely tested. Sad shyt is that Ocado have ordered something like 100k kits and received 40k already. WTF is the government/NHS doing? I really wouldnt doubt Boris trying to line the pockets of his mates even in this situation (Dyson approached to flip and make ventilators, even when other companies could source and send 5k per week til the end of April?)
All valid points, but in a climate of fear when people are increasingly dependent on government and the opposition is a shyt show, he only has to get a right a few times to look like the hero in all this.His approach from the offset.

I think Starmer can in 2024 but Labour should have gone with a woman this time. I know she's polarizing but Jess Phillips would have gotten the female vote out.
