I have a little sympathy for Boris. He is probably a bit humiliated at being so publicly dumped by his own party and that would make anyone depressed and a feeling of can’t be bothered.
He was not very good at being PM, hence all the u-turns, back stabbing, nepotism and and general chaos of the last 3 years. So they fact that he is sleep walking the jobs means he is not doing any more harm.

A selection of nuggets of essential information from a couple of sources rather more knowledgeable than the bitter and confused here:
//There is a Whitehall manual giving some guidelines for a caretaker government….Sir David Normington, the former civil service Home Office chief, said there would be issues over urgent decisions, particularly now that Mr Johnson has lost his authority.
“We are in slightly uncharted waters because there are no rules about a transition like this as there are only conventions,” he said.
A caretaker prime minister “should not be taking major decisions about future policy”.....“It's called a caretaker government, but in a national emergency it has to act and that's why you have to have a prime minister in office and you have to have a Cabinet reacting to the situation,” he said…. “The prime minister made explicit references to Cabinet that we are not going to do anything that would tie the hands of our successors,” Mr Cleverly said. “We are not going to do anything that would be novel or a big change from the current set direction of travel.” //

In the sour world of Dougieland, 'porkies', as he calls them, are only porkies when he thinks other people are telling them.
Still, chin up everyone. We'll have that nice solid and dependable Ms Truss sorting it all soon. Happy days.
