Trump is handling coronavirus so badly, he almost makes Johnson look good | Jonathan Freedland
The only thing protecting the prime minister from harsher criticism of his failures is that the US president’s are even worse, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland

Fascinating article on factors protecting our useless "leader". Primarily he is being compared to trump. We see donny on our tv every night and stare in mute astonishment, nothing could be as bad as that.
Each day Britons wake up to ever more jaw-dropping news from across the Atlantic. Last week, it was Donald Trump advising Americans to inject bleach. On Friday, it was his claim to have seen evidence that coronavirus was developed in a Wuhan laboratory, a claim denied by his own director of national intelligence. The shocking images of protesters wielding assault weapons storming into the state assembly in Michigan on Thursday night are hardly a surprise, given that Trump himself was tweeting “Liberate Michigan!” a matter of days ago, cheering on those who are demanding their states defy the advice of Trump’s own White House and prematurely end the lockdown that has so far proved to be the only way to stop the virus.
Not being trump is johnsons only redeeming quality.
