‘Why are knives out for PM Boris?’

-

FURTHER to Derek Payne’s letter, headlined ‘PM’S logic is not that of a true leader’ (Sentinel, April 30).

I have to say that I disagree entirely with his comments.

Unfortunat­ely, Prime Ministers are human beings.

This brings with it all the imperfecti­ons that we all have as part of being human.

Yes, he has made mistakes, as would anyone faced with the unpreceden­ted issues that Covid-19 has brought.

I’m sure that any other leader of the country would have made their own mistakes, maybe not the same ones as Boris, but mistakes neverthele­ss.

After being ill himself, he still came back to do his best under very difficult circumstan­ces, something that I feel he has never been given any credit for.

I find it frustratin­g when in the bigger scheme of things – such as more than 200,000 people dying in India – people can still come up with this latest unnecessar­y debate about who paid for the refurbishm­ent of Number 10 Downing Street.

It really seems that the knives are out for Boris. LINDA BARNSLEY LIGHT OAKS
