Boris Johnson’s conduct in office could still sink him despite his buoyancy in opinion polls, Gordon Brown has said, recalling the demise of Margaret Thatcher three years after a landslide election victory because “mistakes … caught up with her”. I think you’re going to see big changes in personnel at the end of it,” he said. Brown said he believed the UK was far better prepared for a pandemic in the early 2000s than it was when Covid-19 hit. It might look, if you take a picture of today, [that] Boris Johnson can survive all the mistakes that have been made. “They’ve grown up with a global financial crisis, a climate change crisis, a pandemic, Brexit and a disruption of our international relations,” he said.
