COVID-19 and Brexit, a little chink of sunshine perhaps?
For those who stood to be most affected by Brexit, and the end of the transition period in particular, one potential consequence of the current crisis is that despite his insistence that he won't I can foresee Boris being forced to extend it.
Trade talks, already on an impossibly tight time schedule, have been suspended and with a threatened (although probably empty) 'drop dead' date of June if ever there was a time for unity and cooperation with the EU then surely it's now!
Extending would cost nothing, not even a loss of face as nobody could have predicted what has happened. Also real or fake the infamous €350m/wk is coming off the €37bn divorce settlement so there is no additional cost on that score.
Is he big enough to do it, let's see, demonstrably his principles are flexible enough that's beyond any question.
Remember where you heard this first!
