The breaking news from Downing Street today was that Boris Johnson is going to take ‘direct control’ of the government’s response to the coronavirus pandemic.

The Telegraph said Johnson would take ‘direct control of the government’s handling of the coronavirus crisis’ and ‘spearhead two committees allowing him to tighten his grip on the fight against the pandemic.’

And pretty much the entire internet had the same question.

Simple question: Who was in control of it before?

As opposed to just casually watching from the side lines to see what would happen, which is what I've been doing since January. https://t.co/iHV8T61YVa

So what the fuck has he been doing till now? Part-time PM, utterly useless. Oh, but the FCO has finally got him to read their draft article on Hong Kong. He. Can. Not. Do. The. Job https://t.co/PQDOlKnxso
