Buckingham Palace spokesman says the Queen is being been kept informed by Downing Street about Boris Johnson’s condition after he was admitted to intensive care
The government has said throughout this crisis that ministers are being guided by the latest science.Dominic Raab chaired that meeting this morning and will continue to do so while the PM is in hospital.But what Boris Johnson has done is told his foreign secretary to make the big decisions while he can't.
That is likely to involve taking responsibility on matters like security and foreign affairs, and, as foreign secretary, Mr Raab has experience on this front. But Mr Raab, if necessary, will have to make big calls about the government's reaction to this crisis.Tory MPs I've been speaking to in the last hour are in a state of shock, while cabinet ministers were briefed this evening on a conference call.Article share tools
