Boris Johnson, our Prime Minister, is in intensive care with his Covid-19 symptoms.
Now, I've never been a massive fan of his, and haven't always agreed with everything he's done in his premiership, but I hope he recovers fully and quickly.
He's going to be a dad again, for one thing, and I really believe that he's been working so hard for us all in this difficult time.
I even feel like I know him, almost. He's a character, for sure, and I've seen footage of him for years, possibly the first time on Have I Got News For You (in the early noughties??), so weirdly, I feel quite sad on a personal level that he's so sick.
Of course, he's our leader - the first world leader to contract covid-19, my husband tells me - and there's a substitute leader already sorted, but it's yet more uncertainty for the British people. What a year it's been so far! Boris Johnson has a hard job, for sure.
I haven't seen anything that suggests that the Conservative party are divided or arguing about much at the moment, which is a blessing. Long may it continue and get well soon to our PM.
Let me take up BoJo's baton and say "stay safe and home to save the NHS and save lives".
