Most at risk hes got no Underlying Health conditions hes not a smoker clearly he says hes a bit overweight but he but he does take exercise and hes a fairly powerful figure. Hes not on a ventilator yet according to government ministers its very likely i think that he will potentially need some more intrusive ventilation so i think probably on the balance of things he will survive but its not at all clear what you know either he entirely underestimated how serious it was or downing street wasnt straight with journalists and the public at large about the seriousness of his condition and so it has been a real shock clearly both to the Political Class and the war the country where we talked a little bit about this yesterday with even more questions today about how the countrys being run now.

And several months ago after he became Prime Minister Boris Johnson appointed a figure known as the 1st secretary and thats the foreign secretary dominic robb so technically Dominic Robson chance the time being all thats all that we were getting yesterday of the Prime Minister still leading from his hospital bed and all that thats obviously completely out of the window and assuming he recovers hell be out of action weeks and weeks and weeks now whats not going to happen and ministers are making this quite clear is the dominant rudd not going to act as if hes Prime Minister and start making d.
