Self-isolating prime minister piped into Commons by video link, apparently from echoey basement
A Boris Johnson on his own is generally a Boris Johnson in bad company. With no one to rein back his narcissism, megalomania and priapism, there is nothing between himself and his own self-destruction.
Yet, on the plus side, his time in self-isolation does free him up to play with his toys and keep him away from all the bits he most dislikes about the job: having to meet backbench MPs whose names he has no intention of remembering or heaving himself into the car to get to parliament for a prime minister’s questions at which he is almost bound to come off second best, for example.
