minister or foreign secretary?urse, the prime minister as a former foreign secretary is very involved in foreign policy, and we talk a lot about our various foreign policy priorities, but ultimately, there is a lot of work to be done in making things happen. he's a busy man just now. we are talking on thursday morning, when we've just heard that he is a father for a second time with carrie, his wife. he's got a lot going on. covid, party rows, babies. huge congratulations to boris and carrie this morning. very exciting news. it is good news. has he got too much on, though? i don't think he does, and i think he's very capable of dealing with all the different issues that are happening, but this has been an extraordinary time in politics. we've had brexit, which he successfully delivered, covid, where the uk was really on the front of the vaccine development. but a serious question, as a fellow parent, it's a heck of a lot the prime minister has to juggle. two young babies in the flat in downing street. the covid cri
