The Deputy PM is still primed to make “significant decisions” for the next 24 hours while Mr Johnson recovers.

Sources say he would be the first port of call over military action required in an emergency, although the resting PM would be consulted on such dramatic decisions.

No10 confirmed Mr Johnson went to a London NHS hospital at 6am and was back in Downing Street shortly after 10am.

He was treated to fix an ongoing sinus-related issue.

His official spokesman said: “The Prime Minister this morning had a very minor routine operation related to his sinuses.”

It is the second time the PM has handed over the reins of government after being struck down with Covid in 2020.

No10 said: “We have a deputy prime minister who was aware of this in advance and the Cabinet Secretary was also aware.”

He added: “Should significant decisions need to be made, that would be for the deputy prime minister at the moment.”

Mr Johnson celebrated his 58th birthday yesterday and travelled to Kyiv on Friday to meet President Zelensky.

So the, out of touch political elite are trying to say that the public would be happy to cough up an extra £2000 a year, per household to prop up the NHS?  Advertisers website Wrong! While many British families struggle to make ends meet, the political elite thinks that people will be glad to fund a failing business that is being run into the ground because of their failed policies on how the NHS is managed? No. This just shows that we have monkeys running our country! Many people on Facebook have shared the above post on various pages; a large number of those people don't even do politics.

See what others are saying about Soros and who he is in the comments section below. FOX News reports the 86-year-old financier and manager of a global network of nonprofits will be forced by BSG Resources’ lawsuit to answer for manipulating the politics and economics of Guinea for his own benefit Despite Soros’ often contentious dealings and reputation as a pompous busybody, the filing in New York Federal Court has thus far largely escaped the spotlight. Soros, who controls a web of international nonprofits in addition to his vast financial empire, used his sway with the government of Guinea to freeze Israeli company BSG Resources out of the West African nation’s lucrative iron ore mini
