I was repulsed by Johnson when I first met him 30 years ago - the casual racism, sexism and homophobia, the grovelling around rich elderly men, the snobbery, above all the overweening entitlement - and I’m glad the country now knows him well enough to be reacting in the same way.

R rate is still ‘close to 1’ here. Across the Irish Sea, it’s between 0.4 and 0.5 - half our rate - and yet Ireland is unlocking a lot more slowly than we are. Is Britain immune from risk or is Johnson so desperate to change the story that he doesn’t care about a second spike?
