Where's Mark Francois? He was born to lead in a crisis.

Priti Patel is only ranked 4th! With her people skills, she’s surely PM elect should Johnson succumb.

If the worse came to the worse the Cabinet would decide who is to take over, and that person would then go to the Queen for her approval (which is just a formality).
Would they use the internationally-recognised rock/paper/scissors to do that?

You can cross Gove off that list for at least the short term. He's now apparently self isolating after a member of his family developed symptoms.

Baker lite will be here soon with his high-horsed faux righteous anger about any criticism of number 4.

Agreed. More opportunistic tabloid bollocks from Morgan as he smells the power vacuum and his gutter journalism instincts kick in.
No.5 is self isolating now. Hunt finished second in the leadership race and has intelligently critiqued the government’s handling of this, perhaps they could find a way of giving the former health secretary the helm for the next month or two whilst Mr Johnson recovers?

It will be interesting to see how the internal Tory politics plays out alongside the coronavirus.
Only a few months ago I watched the drama series 'Cobra' but had trouble believing the storyline that at a time of national disaster (in this case a solar surge that had taken out the national grid and left the UK without power) party politics and opportunism would be so prevalent.

Could be worse, Rees Mogg could be on the list!

Is Cummings out of self-isolation yet ? If so, he will carry on running the country as he has been up until now.
