As boris johnson prepares to host Joe Biden and the leaders of the world’s other G7 democracies this weekend, Britain appears to have recovered something of its old self. After years of stasis, slump, and division culminating in last year’s catastrophic COVID-19 response. By Tom McTague

This is basically a reaffirmation for British postcolonial ideology. Whatever the efforts of rebranding and repackaging it, one should not fall into these traps. Thinking that far-right leaders such as Johnson care for 'democracy' is naive, simply because their acts have shown that this has never been their priority.
