Gove’s push for intellectual and regional diversity in public appointments

On coronavirus, Johnson simply cannot win

The Prime Minister’s critics have warned he’s a dictator. Now they say he’s not draconian enough. What do these people actually want?

Lagarde, von der Leyen and Merkel have all failed to take charge of Europe’s response to the virus
