I’m delighted Boris is back!

Well it could be debated if he fell overboard or jumped! However it happened he was rescued by the NHS. Interesting to hear "we" are now all responsible for battling the virus. His past indiscretions about shaking anybody's hands, herd immunity and not worrying apparently forgotten. But that's Boris isn't it. Past mistakes never acknowledged, responsibility never taken. Ever clever with words and speeches. Meanwhile in the background Cummings is busy doing who knows what? Negotiating with the Tory donors wanting lockdown cancelled perhaps.

Wonderful to see him back - and yes I have to agree with Grandad that his speech had more than a touch of Churchill about it.

Thank God he fought off the virus - we certainly need a strong leader like him.

Welcome back Boris

Really pleased to see him looking well and rested. Welcome back Boris x

Love Boris! So happy he's well and back in charge!

Yes, welcome back. Very impressive speech.
Let’s hope his rallying call to keep going is heard by all.

How lovely - a unanimous thread (although I guess I had better add “so far “) !

Yes I too am delighted to have him back, especially as he was clearly very ill at one point.

Good on you Boris.
We have missed you and your inimitable personality very much.

I’m also pleased to see him back and I feel much happier knowing he’s back in charge.

I’m so pleased he’s well, and very pleased to see him back.

Yes, welcome back. It was good to see him wasn't it and his message was spot on.

Welcome back Boris, we missed you!

And a huge welcome back from me too.

well said OP. I too am glad that Boris is back

I’m glad he is back too. I’m not a huge Boris fan but the Tories have looked from shaky without him steering the ship.

Grandad1943 you have echoed just what my H said.

I have to agree that Boris Johnson's address to the nation this morning was excellent in its content and almost Churchillian in its presentation.

At a time when many Conservative Party donors are trying to push the government into unlocking Britain before it is right to do so, then Boris certainly informed them that will not happen.

As someone who does not normally support Conservative government, Johnson would very much seem to be the person this nation needs at this time of great crisis.

For just as Churchill drew Britain together as one entity at a time of immense emergency in 1940, then Boris has demonstrated that he has the same ability in 2020.

Welcome back that man so pleased to see him looking so much better than last time he gave a press conference.

I actually cried watching Boris earlier..he sounded confident, determined..welcome back Boris.

Welcome back Boris, so glad you are back at the helm.

Welcome back Boris!! ?

Yes glad Boris is back.

I've missed seeing him on tv. I like him so much.

Hear hear. Welcome back, that man! We missed you...

Welcome back Boris!

'After falling overboard '? Well, thank goodness he was a strong swimmer!!! Boris, what a relief to see you back, PLEASE don't go away again!

He has courage and he is a fighter, which he will need more than ever as he faces the next dangerous challenge, as some people's patience begins to wear thin.
