IS BEING PRIME MINISTER A SERIOUS JOB? Is it a role for getting things done or is it essentially decorative? The suspicion must be that it’s now part of the “undignified constitution”. That the occupant of Number 10 is required to caper, splutter, entertain and distract. But not to govern.
Judges govern. Foreign agreements rule. Bureaucrats administer, safe from political interference. If we expect none of this authority from our prime minister then, to reverse this time a coinage of Leo Maxse (and not Walter Bagehot), Boris Must Stay.
