if the other three nations leaders can attend the all important briefings then why on earth can the leader of all our nations not do the same
Speaking as a Welshman, it is because the so-called “leader” of our nation thinks he can score cheap political points by attempting to be seen to out manoeuvre Downing Street. The reality is that it makes him look like a prat, as on the one hand he is busy lapping up all of the cash that the treasury can give, while simultaneously p*ssing on his chips by trying to score points. If I were in Downing St I’d be furious.
There is also probably an element of truth in the fact that the PM isn’t back to 100% strength. Anyone who has had a serious lung illness will know it can take months for the lungs to return to full capacity (if they ever do).
