The Corona Crisis Paralyzes Britain: Criticism in British Parliament This Tuesday (Tuesday) on the Government's conduct and uncertainty about who is leading it and its powers.

Conservative Party officials told the British Sky Network that Dominic Raab, the replacement of Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who is still hospitalized for coronary illness, faces severe restrictions on his ability to serve as prime minister and that he disagrees with Johnson on several key issues related to coping With the crisis.

The senior officials have expressed doubts that critical decisions on isolation and curfew that the government is required to make can even be made without direct instructions from Johnson, who is apparently not in a position to pass decisions to the government. Rab himself, who serves as secretary of state and secretary of state, struggles to answer reporters about the government's policy.

Parliament called for the appointment of a replacement prime minister. Lord Heseltine, who served as Prime Minister John Major's replacement, demanded clarification from the government on the extent of Rab's powers. "There must be a clear time when the Deputy Prime Minister is serving as prime minister. The urgency of the current situation and the potential decisions that need to be made require Rab to exercise judgment and know how to act," Halstein said.

"Boris fighter, he will recover"

Rab himself addressed the Prime Minister's illness and said: "I know Boris well, he is a fighter, he will recover from the disease. I completely trust the guidelines Boris left me for continuing the fight in Corona." Prime Minister Boris Johnson is hospitalized in intensive care in a London hospital and according to the government's statement his condition is stable and he is not breathing.



A spokesman for the British prime minister told Sky News that the prime minister's condition was "stable" and that he was "in a good mood." The spokesman dismissed allegations that the government was trying to hide the severity of the prime minister's situation and said: "We have been honest with you all along."

Johnson was admitted to St Thomas's Hospital in London the day before, undergoing intensive care as a precautionary measure in case he needed respiratory treatment.

Following the decision to hospitalize, some of the government's powers were temporarily transferred to British Foreign Minister Dominic Raab as long as Johnson is being treated at the hospital. According to a BBC report, before entering the ward this evening, Johnson spoke to Dominic Raab to be ready, if and when. It should be noted that officially Johnson remains the prime minister, but Rab can make regular decisions on the Corona fight, and more urgent decisions, should the need arise.
