Andan expansion of green energy Our political editor, Laura Ginsburg, has more fancy a prime minister's speech with your coffee break.

Or is Johnson, for years the irreverent darling of the sweaty party conference circuits this year, online only a prime minister grappling with what it means to govern in crisis.

I don't know about you, but I have had mawr than enough of this disease, and we will succeed Justus.

This country has seen off every alien invader for the last 1000 years.

We human beings will simply not content ourselves with a repair job.

We see these moments as the time to learn and to improve on the world that went before he compared the disease to a state of war, himself a leader at a moment of history.

In the depths of the Second World War, when just about everything had gone wrong, the government sketched out a vision of the Postwar New Jerusalem that they wanted to build.

And that's what we're doing now.

Promises on education, skills, homes, wind power on offer.

But with almost zero detail, the UK government has decided to become the world leader in low cost, clean power generation, as Saudi Arabia is to oil, the UK is toe wind, and he confronted whispers about his own ability.

Now I've read a lot of nonsense recently about how my own bout of co vid has somehow robbed me of my mojo.

I think we saw a bit of the old Boris.

There is a degree of frustration by some members that we're We're just not doing what we would normally do as a conservative party in power.

But the prime minister, quite rightly, he's setting the tone and the agenda at any other time.

This whole week would have been a victory parade for Tory Hpq.

A moment for Boris Johnson toe lap up the applause after the election.
