I said the same yesterday morning. The weight of all this is taking its toll.

I think he knows far more than he’s sharing with us.

Yes I think our Prime Minister looks tired, at times exhausted.
He is trying to get us through a global pandemic and a resulting economic crisis. He has to field repetitive and often ridiculous questions from a destructive press. He is shot at from all sides by nasty and toxic keyboard warriors.
He has a small child and a young wife and no opportunity to just put his feet up and switch off.
I am not surprised he looks so tired.
I now await all the nastiness that always follows a good word for our PM.

No nastiness from me. Completely agree with you.

Me too.....

He doesn’t look half as bad as Angela Merkel did on the news this evening, she was really struggling.

I agree LauraNorder
I commented to DH just yesterday that Boris looked unwell, or just exhausted.

Even if I don't always agree with him, didn't vote for him, that is no reason to be nasty about someone who has so much to cope with and could be struggling still with the after-effects of Covid.

I'm sure Boris would have thought twice about taking on the role of PM if only he had known what lay ahead.
There were several posters on GN who thought he would step down last Christmas. I don't think he is a quitter as such, but I think his health might dictate such a decision in the long run.

If boris was on the white stuff he’d look a lot more perky at his briefings than he does.

He looks terrible, covid has a lot to answer for.

He's in his 50's living in a flat with a young girlfriend and new baby which must up all night, all paid for by taxpayers. I bet he has a massive tv as well
It must be exhausting

He does look tired no wonder he misspoke. Its an enormous job with no respite and no haircut.
