In recent weeks, the British prime minister had come under fire from his own ranks for many changes in the course of crown policy. In the House of Commons, Johnson will face many oppositional questions today.

Speaker of Parliament Lindsay Hoyle was able to slather her voice yesterday with a somewhat hesitant “order, order” as the House of Commons convened for its first meeting after the summer break. The debate at first was not spectacular in front of sparsely occupied rows of seats.
That should be different this lunchtime when Prime Minister Boris Johnson steps up to the lectern. The opposition will have many questions, Chris Bryant announced at the ARD-Interview with – he is a Labor spokesman in the House of Commons. Bryant blames Johnson and his cabinet for the miserable crown situation and the severe recession. The government has been wrong time and time again. “It’s good when the government listens when it’s wrong. I commend a U-turn,” Bryant said. “But the problem is that the government is so wrong in the first place.”
Back and forth from the government in crisis
There are many examples of back and forth from the government: mask requirement, Corona application, quarantine for foreign travelers, exam scores after closing. Meanwhile, the brilliant winner of the December election has been mocked as the king of “U-turns”.
Also in our own ranks. Charles Walker, an influential supporter of Johnson’s conservative faction, called on Times Radio that the House of Commons must finally have a say in important measures:
“Maybe Parliament thinks this is all a very good idea. But the government cannot just make it up itself and then say this on Monday, change its mind on Tuesday and think of something else on Wednesday. That is unacceptable.”
Johnson needs unity for major projects
Johnson has a full 80-seat majority in the lower house, so she has less to fear discontent from her own party friends than her predecessor Theresa May. But you need unity for important projects, especially for the line in difficult negotiations with the EU on future projects. Relations.
Fraser Nelson, editor-in-chief of the liberal-conservative Spectator, told the BBC that MPs are not angry about the consequences of the pandemic, “but because there is one unnecessary mistake after another in number 10. And because they are concerned that Downing Street works less and less. “
Harry Cole of the pro-Johnson and Brexit tabloid “The Sun” asks where the great communicator Boris Johnson has gone. “An optimistic view of why these painful decisions are necessary,” demands Cole. “Where is our country headed and what can each individual contribute?”
Cautious remarks by the prime minister
But Boris Johnson has been covered for weeks. The once ubiquitous Prime Minister prefers to let the minister serve the soup or give himself the pleasure of generalizing, as he did yesterday in the cabinet:
“There will be more of this terrible disease. We know there will be more outbreaks. Still, we are full of confidence that we can deal with it. And that this incredible country will gradually return to normal and come out of this crisis.” is going to recover. “
That won’t be enough for his conservatives, and certainly not for the opposition. Labor politician Chris Bryant does an interview with the ARD-Studio London Johnson’s zigzag course responsible for the high number of coronavirus-related deaths. Many Britons did not comply with the regulations and recommendations for protection against the coronavirus. “With so many mixed messages, nobody believes any message anymore.”
