I disagree Ellen, good leaders always take advice before reaching their conclusions. A Prime Minister has to make decisions on so many subjects he cannot possibly be an expert on all. Having said that. I would expect a PM to have a panel of advisors, with diverse experience to be advising him, not be utterly dependent on one Svengali. Currently the question that must arise is: who exactly is the PM, Boris Johnson, or Dominic Cummings.
silverlining, highlights a comparison that I think many are making. I have been comparing him with the behaviour of Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela. He is shutting down democracy, sacking members of his own party who do not agree with him, closing down Parliament to stop it meeting and opposing his, and it is very much, his, measures.
