Normally a divisive figure, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is receiving support even from opponents as he battles COVID-19.
Britain’s Boris Johnson was slow to sound alarm on coronavirus. Now he is hospitalized in intensive care, and the country’s death rate is rising
as needed. Raab, 46, is a relatively little-known figure, lacking the prime minister’s elocutionary flair and charisma. The queen joined many dignitaries and world leaders, including President Trump, French President Emmanuel Macron and Russian President Vladimir Putin, in sending well-wishes to Britain’s now-bedridden leader. Sometime rivals such as former Prime Minister David Cameron, whose resignation after the shocking Brexit referendum result ultimately paved the way for Johnson’s ascension, also joined in voicing warm support.
Actor Hugh Grant, who marshaled his celebrity to campaign against Brexit and Johnson, chimed in online. “I haven’t been his greatest supporter but v[ery] much rooting for the PM tonight,” Grant – who played a floppy-haired prime minister in the movie “Love Actually” – said in a social-media post.April 6, 2020
