It’s not that Boris Johnson can’t sense the mood when he enters a room, it seems he just doesn’t possess the skills necessary to have a conversation with someone from a different background, especially in crisis situations.

If Johnson feels genuine empathy for people who have lost their homes to flooding, he’s entirely unable to articulate it.
