A good description of Boris Johnson

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. 

When he speaks to people from the north, he resembles a schoolboy on a foreign exchange programme having a go at interacting with the locals. 

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