Who is popular today?

Spiked Online Editor Brendan O’Neill says the transfer of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson to an Intensive Care Unit in London is “deeply concerning” and “disorientating” for the United Kingdom. The UK prime minister has requested the Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab act as his deputy when required over the course of his stay in hospital. Mr O’Neill says the situation “raises lots of questions firstly and most seriously about Boris’s health but also about what is going to happen in terms of politics and what this means for democracy and the democratic mandate that we gave to Boris”. “It’s an extraordinary state of affairs,” but the “nation will rally behind Boris,” he told Sky News host Chris Kenny.
