This is actually quite important. The presentation is vintage Johnson: grand discussion of something small and trivial to reassure people they’re in on a big joke. Wartime Churchillian rhetoric to describe chocolate. It’s governing as entertainment and how Johnson made his name.

No prime minister has ever spoken like this before. They knew it would demean their office to speak about global issues in such an infantile way. But that’s Johnson’s shtick and how he became famous: the toff buffoon bumbling across the world stage for laughs.

Johnson is desperate for Covid to disappear and imagines if he believes it hard enough, it’ll come true. But Covid has not gone away. This pandemic has killed 1 in 1000 of us but he’s bored and wants to entertain us again. By every conceivable metric he is unfit for office.
