A rather cynical attack on the Prime Minister by Diana Austin (‘How can ‘flawed’ PM carry on?’, May 29). With your permission I would like to offer another perspective.

The bottom line is that the coronavirus, fully fledged, entered this country without warning.

As soon as the nature of the virus became known the Government acted promptly, following advice from the medical and scientific community.

As for leadership, Boris Johnson is the right person at the right time. Himself a victim of the virus, Boris had proved his worth.

I can think of no-one more suited, or determined, to the task on this - and other matters.

So, lets have an end to negativity and start thinking positively.

There are going to have to be some changes and Boris is the one to carry them through.
